When the sun has hardly risen in Arunachal Pradesh , it is still night in Gujarat. Why?
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
As we know that there is a time lag of 2 hours between Arunanchal Pradesh and Gujarat. As the Gujarat is located at the westernmost point of the India whereas the Arunanchal Pradesh is located at the easternmost point of India. 82 degree 30 minute is selected as the standard meridian of India as it divides India into 2 equally half parts but the watches show same time.
The sun rises from the east and India takes up 30 degree longitude band Earth take 4 minutes to complete 1 longitude . So there is a time lag of 4*30=120minutes
Answer:
1) The earth rotates from west to east and so, the sun rises earlier in Arunachal Pradesh than in Gujarat.
2) The sun rises from the east and moves toward the west. Arunachal Pradesh is to the east of Gujarat.
3) There is 2 hour difference between the meridians of A.P and Gujarat.
