Describe the location of india . why their is a time difference of two hours betwwen gujarat and arunachal pradesh
Answers
1) India lies in the northern hemisphere.
2) India's mainland extends between 8 degree 4 minutes north to 37 degree 6 minutes north latitude and 68 degree 7 minutes east to 97 degree 25 minutes east longitudes.
3) The tropic of cancer(23 degree 30 minutes north) divides India into two equal parts.
There is a longitudinal gap between Arunachal pradesh and gujrat which is about 30 degree. Because of which there is a time tag of about 2 hours between the states. As Arunachal pradesh is in the east therefore the sun rises early their as compared to gujrat. The Indian standard time is taken from the time of standard meridian of India and hence, the watches show the same time In both states.
This is because of different longitude but Same IST (Indian Standard Time).
-Arunachal Pradesh and Gujarat are located at a different longitudes. But, Both Longitudes have same Time (IST).
As, Gujarat and Arunachal Pradesh have different longitudes, So it is found that, the Sun rises earlier in Arunachal Pradesh as compared to Gujarat. We know that, The Time of each location in a specific country is same. Either it's Longitudes are different or any there is far distance between them. Therefore, Sunrises earlier in Arunachal Pradesh due to their different Longitudes.
-Gujarat lies between 68° E and 74° E longitude.
-Arunachal Pradesh is located between 91.20° E and 97.30° E longitude
-Arunachal Pradesh is located at Eastern part of India. It means that, there will be very Huge distance in time.
Reason for time difference:
1) India is located at 30° longitude. (Time will be same everywhere even there are different longitudes).
2) There is 30° longitudes between Arunachal pradesh and Gujarat.
3) 30°* 4 mins = 120 mins
4) 120 Mins is equal to 2 Hours.
Hence, There is a 2 hours time different between Gujarat and Arunachal Pradesh but watches shows same time.
