The sun rises Tow Hours earlier in Arunachal Pradesh as compared to Gujarat in the west but the watches shows the same time. How does this happens? |

Answer» Because GUJARAT lies between 68 degree E and 74 degree E LONGITUDE WHEREAS, Arunachal Pradesh is LOCATED between 91.20 degree E and 97.30 degree E longitude. So, both the states have 29 degree longitude difference in term of location. The time difference between each degree of longitude is 4 minutes and If we go eastward, the local time is advance by 4 minutes with each additional degree and vice versa. As, Arunachal Pradesh lies on EASTERN side, it will have an advance local time. So, Arunachal Pradesh is 2 hours ahead of Gujarat in term of local time. |
