Question

How is the use of local time inconvenient in practical life

Answer 1

The use of local time in practical life is inconvinent because,if everyone starts using local time then there would be a total confusion.There is a time difference between each longitude of 4 and if local time was used and there would be a total confusing as crossing 1° towards the east would cause a 4 minute difference in time and tish would cause total confusion and even technology wont be able to calculate it properly but with the use of standard time,which is much more practical prevents this confusion.

Answer 2

Answer:

If we have to travel through many countries, it will be convenient to us to follow one particular standard time and it will change depends on the change in longitude therefore use of local time is inconvenient in practical life

Explanation:

• It is very inconvenient to use local time in daily life because, if we have to travel through many countries, it will be more convenient for us to adhere to one specific standard time.
• It will allow us to set our watches in accordance with a specific country and its standard time with reference to Greenwich or the prime meridian to promote global uniformity.
• India is five hours and thirty minutes ahead of U.S.

Local time:

• Local time denotes a location's time as defined by the sun's apparent movement.
• Changes continuously as the longitude changes.
• The local time is the same for locations with the same longitude.

Standard time:

• Standard time is the agreed-upon time for locations along the same meridian that is established in a nation by law.
• Remains the same for a particular nation.
• Same-longitude locations have various standard times
