Question

distinction between local time and standard time

Answer 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. 

Answer 2

hey local time is the actual time of the place while standard time is the time applied for the whole country
for example:- Arunachal Pradesh is the east most state of our country so let's assume that at their local time 6 am sun rises their while in Gujarat the sun will rise at 8 am according to local time but we can let the time vary in a country so a standard time latitude (82.5°E) is taken and the time st this latitude is the standard time for whole country
