The time difference between Greenwich and 100º east longitude is 5 hours 30 minutes.
- Longitudes or meridians are imaginary lines that run vertically between the poles on the earth.
- These longitudes are all measured in degrees. The 0 degrees longitude, which passes through Greenwich, in London, is used as a reference point for all other time zones. Each degree of longitude has a 4-minute difference in time.
- At 1 degree meridian, if it's midnight in Greenwich, it's 12:04 a.m., and so on. The standard meridian in India is 82.5 degrees.
- As a result, the time difference between Greenwich and India is multiplied by four to get 82.5 minutes (5 hours 30 minutes).
