Question

Differentiate between a. Local and Standard time b. Equator and Prime meridian?
​

Answer 1

1. Local time implies the time of a particular country, as regards the meridian running through it. On the contrary, standard time is referred as the official local time of a region ascertained by the distance from the Prime Meridian of the meridian running through the area. Here we’ll break down the significant differences between local time and standard time.



2. The Equator separates the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The Equator is at 0° latitude. The Prime Meridian separates the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. The Prime Meridian runs throughGreenwich, England and is at 0° longitude.

Answer 2

$\textbf{LOCAL TIME \: VS. \: STANDARD TIME}$

Local time depends on the movements of the sun.

it changes from place to place.

It changes due to shift in longitude.It refers to a time of particular place or country.

standard time is the time that doesn't differ and it is fixed for a particular country. places on same longitude , don't have same times when they are different countries.

$\textbf{EQUATOR\:VS.\:PRIME\:MERIDIAN}$

Equator is the 0° latitude.

Prime meridian is the 0° longitude.

Equator seperates the northern and southern hemispheres.

Prime meridian seperates the eastern and western hemispheres.

Equator passes through 13 countries whereas prime meridian passes through the greenwich place in england through the royal observatory.
