Question

What is meant by Indian Standard Time? Why do we need a Standard Meriden for india
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The time of a place depends on the longitude that passes through it. Therefore, the standard time for each country is usually taken as the time of the central meridian that passes through it. India has a vast longitudinal extent. ... Thus, we need a standard meridian for the country.

Answer 2

Answer:

Indian Standard time (IST) is the time zone observed throughout India, with a time offset of UTC+05:30.

Explanation:

We need a Standard Meridian for India because it is important to adopt the local time of one central meridian of a country as the standard time for the country. If we adopted different time for different meridians then there would be a huge time lag that can create a confusion related to the time. For example There is a time lag of 2 hours from Arunachal Pradesh to Gujrat.

Therefore, sun rises earlier in Arunachal Pradesh.
