The sun rise two hours earlier in arunachal pradesh as compared to gujarat in the west but the watches show the same time. How does this happen
Answers
Answer:because the time along The Standard Meridian of India ( taken to be 82° 30′ E ) passing through Mirzapur has been taken as the standard time across the country.
Explanation:
This is because of different longitude.
Arunachal Pradesh and Gujarat are located at a different longitudes. Each Longitudes has different kind of Time. The standard meridian of India pass away through Mirzapur.
Arunachal Pradesh is not a part of Indian meridian which passes through Mirzapur. While, Gujarat is located at a different Standard meridian.
=> Gujarat lies between 68° E and 74° E longitude.
=> Arunachal Pradesh is located between 91.20° E and 97.30° E longitude
Also, Arunachal Pradesh is located at Eastern part of India. It means that, there will be very Huge distance in time.
Reason for time difference:
1) India is located at 30° longitude.
2) There are 30° longitudes between Arunachal pradesh and Gujarat.
3) 30°* 4 mins=120 mins
4) 120 Mins is equal to 2 Hours.
So, There is a 2 hours time different between Gujarat and Arunachal Pradesh.
