Answer:

DEFINE :

Local time refers to the specific time of a particular place expressed in relation to the longitudinal line that passes through the place.

The difference in local time of different places is due to the location of the places in different longitudinal lines.

Additionally, every place has the sun overhead at its own specific time, thus the difference in local time from one region to another.  

For example, New York and Pittsburgh are two cities in the Eastern Time Zone with a different local time due to a six degrees longitudinal difference.

On the other hand, standard time refers to the time of the standard meridian of a particular country.

The difference in the standard time of different regions is due to the location of the places in different time zones of the world.

The standard time is reckoned by the distance, either east or west, from the Prime Greenwich Meridian of the longitudinal line within the subject region.

For example, despite being on different longitudinal positions, New York and Pittsburgh have a similar standard time.

DIFFERENCE :

The key difference between Local Time and Standard Time lies in the fact that local time refers to the time which is estimated based on the sun’s movement, while standard time refers to the time which is fixed for particular places by the law of a country.

Local time changes depending on the longitude, whereas standard time is constant for a particular place.

While both the local time and standard time denotes the time of a specific place, there is a significant dissimilarity between the two terms.

Notably, the earth makes a full rotation, which is three hundred and sixty degrees, in twenty-four hours; hence, every time zone is fifteen degrees wide.  

Time zones play a major role in bringing out the difference between local time and standard time. The following are the definitions and main differences between the local time and the standard time.

Answer:

The time based on the meridian through a specific place, as a city, in contrast to that of the time zone within which the place is located; the time in a specific place as compared to that of another place to the east or west.
