India is located in the northern hemisphere.The Tropic of Cancer passes almost halfway
through the country. From south to north, mainland of India extends between 80
4’ N and
370
6’N latitudes. From west to east, India extends between 680
7’E and 970
25’E
longitudes. If we divide the world into eastern and western hemispheres, which
hemisphere would India belong to? Due to great longitudinal extent of about 290
, there
could be a wide differences in local times of places located at two extreme points of
India. As such, the difference between these two points would be of about two hours.As
you have learnt earlier, the local time changes by four minutes for every one degree of
longitude. The local time of longitude of 820
30’E has been taken as the Indian Standard
Time
