• So, in order to move from one place to another in longitudinal span, one has to increase the time by 4 mins in order to keep up with the local time. ( the difference between each longitude is 4 mins)

• India opted the Standard Meridian pf India which passes through Mirzapur, U.P at 82 degree 30'E.
