Explanation:
1.There is a time lag of 2 hours from Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh because of the longitudinal extent of India.Gujarat is situated in the extreme west of India Arunachal Pradesh is situated in the extreme east of India .The sun rises two hours earlier in Arunachal Pradesh than Gujarat.
2.The latitudinal and longitudinal extent of India is almost the same in degrees but in kilometres, the north-South distance is 3200 kilometres while that of East- west distance is 3000 kilometre.
In order to bring uniformity in local time, the standard meridian of 82°30'E has been accepted.It passes through Mirzapur.Hence , we can state that we need standard meridian for India to maintain a standard time.
3.India 's Location
1. Lies entirely in Northern hemisphere between latitude 8°4 'N and 37°6 ' N and longitudes 68°7'E and 97°25'E
2. divided by tropic of Cancer ( 23°30'N) in almost two equal parts.
3. in south east, Andaman and Nicobar lies in the bay of Bengal
4.In southwest, Lakshadweep Islands lie in Arabian sea
It's size
1. The total area of India is 3.28 million square kilometre which is 2.4 % of the total area of the world.
2. It is the 17th largest country in the world in term of land mass.
3. It has land boundary about 15200 kilometre and the total length of the coastline of the mainland including Andaman and Nicobar and Lakshadweep Island is 7, 516.6 km
4 . In the Northwest, north and north east of India young fold mountain bounds it .
5. south of about 22° North latitude, Indian arrows and finally extends towards the Indian Ocean it also divides it into two seas the Arabian ocean on the west and the bay of Bengal on its East
6. The latitudinal and longitudinal extract of mainland is about 30°
7.India 's east west extent appears to be smaller than the north west extent
8.The time along the standard meridian passes through Mirzapur in UP is taken as the Indian standard time for whole country
9.The time graph between Arunachal Pradesh present in the east and Gujarat present in the West is about 2 hours.The latitudinal extent influences the duration of day and night ,so one moves from south to north.
