Why 82°30’E has been selected as the Standard Meridian of India? |
|
Answer» A globe has 24 time zones, each of 15 longitudes. Local time in each zone at the middle longitude (divided by 7°30’) is taken as Standard Time. As 82°30'E is divisible by 7°30', a standard by all countries, India selected this odd value. |
