Question

Explain standard Time​

Answer 1

Answer:

Standard time is the synchronization of clocks within a geographical area or region to a single time standard, rather than using solar time or a locally chosen meridian (longitude) to establish a local mean time standard. Historically, the concept was established during the 19th century to aid weather forecasting and train travel. Applied globally in the 20th century, the geographical areas became extended around evenly spaced meridians into time zones which (usually) centered on them. The standard time set in each time zone has come to be defined in terms of offsets from Universal Time. In regions where daylight saving time is used, that time is defined by another offset, from the standard time in its applicable time zones

Answer 2

☆ Standard Time ☆

In the 19th Century people used to adjust their watches while traveling from one City to another. With the invention of the first mean of transport it became difficult for people to keep on adjusting their watches. So, it was then decided to use standard time with a country or with a larger areas of a country.

Now, our country follows a single uniform time which is generally the local time of the longitude that passes through its centre. This is the standard time for the entire country. India nice the local time of 82.5° E longitude as the Indian Standard Time.
