Why do we use standard time? Explain with an example of India.
Answers
Answer:
India has a vast longitudinal extent. Since many meridians pass through it, it is important to adopt the local time of one central meridian of a country as the standard time for the country. Thus, we need a standard meridian for the country. In India 82 ½ °E longitude determines the standard time.
Answer:
Standard time is the transpiration of timers within a geographic territory or region to a different time standard, rather than employing solar time or a regionally fixed time (longitude) to set a local mean time standard. India requires a standard time due to the vast longitudinal length of the mainland. As a consequence, there is a time gap of two hours from Arunachal Pradesh to Gujarat. Consequently, the standard time for India has been taken from Mirzapur for the entire nation.
