In spite of about 30 longitudes passing through India, there is a uniformity of time in the country
Explanation:
- Because of Standard Meridian there is uniformity of time in our nations. Standard meridian is useful for a country because it shows and fixes a particular time for the country.
- The Standard Meridian is located in the center of all latitudes and longitudes where India is located. It passes via Allahabad in Uttar Pradesh.
- As we know that time differences are due to longitudinal difference, so the time gap will be very wide between India 's easternmost and westernmost longitudes
- The time for Arunachal Pradesh, for example, would be two hours before Gujarat, but such a situation may create confusion in activities such as information being conveyed through various parts of the world.
- Hence The Indian Standard Time (IST) is calculated on the basis of 82°30'E has been chosen as the Standard Time for the whole nation.
