Geographical explanation.
Longitudes lying to the east of any longitude are ahead of the time at that longitude while those lying to the west are behind. As the distance between two longitudes increase, their local times also starts differing. If we multiply the difference between longitudes in degrees by 4 minutes, then the difference in the respective local times can be calculated. The difference in longitudes can be known with the help of a globe or a map. Carry out the activity given on Page 75 and 76 and understand the standard time of various locations. Seeifyou can find out the standard time at two opposite longitudes with this activity. Write your observation in the space provided.
