Question

The Sun rises two hours earlier in Arunachal Pradesh

as compared to Gujarat in the west but the watches

show the same time. How does this happen?​

Answer 1

Answer:

because we use a particular time for the whole country i.e IST

Explanation:

IST is the time which is the time of central India

Answer 2

Answer :

The latitudinal and longitudinal extent of the mainland is about 30°. Despite this fact, the east-west extent appears to be smaller than the north-south extent. From Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh there is a time lag of two hours. Hence, time along the Standard Meridian of India (82°30’E) passing through Mirzapur (in Uttar Pradesh) is taken as the standard time for the whole country. The latitudinal extent influences the duration of the day and night, as one moves from south to north.
