Geography, asked by mainak1, 1 year ago

how can we measure the time difference between countries

adarshkatiyar00: The earth has 360 imaginary lines called longitudes or meridians running vertically between the poles. The time difference between each longitude (each degree) is 4 minutes. So if it is 12 noon at Greenwich (0 degree), it would be 12:04 pm at 1 degree meridian and so on. In India, the standard meridian is 82-and-half degree. So the time difference between Greenwich and India is 82.5 x 4, which is 330 minutes (5 hours 30 minutes).

✓ The time difference is measured from the internationally recognised terms of time measuring.

✓ The most common is GMT.

✓ It stands for Greenwich meridian time.

✓ According to it , time in India stands at + 5 : 30 from Greenwich in England.

✓ For Example, if the time in England is 12 PM... we will have the time as 5:30 in India.

✓ Western countries like the US are in - or backwards from the GMT.

✓ There are other time zones as well... like the PMT , the pacific zone popular in West.
