      Distinguish between local time and standard time.

    Answer:

      Local Time (i) Local time is the time of a longitude or particular place. (ii) Local time within the country varies from one longitude to another. (iii) The longitudinal extent of India is 68°7'E to 97° 25'E. There is a corresponding time difference of one hour for every 15° of longitudinal difference. Due to this the local times of the Westernmost tip and Easternmost tip of India differ by almost 2 hours.                                                                                                           Standard Time (i) The local time of the central longitude of a country, assumed to be of the whole country, is termed as standard time. (ii) Standard time remains the same throughout the country on all longitudes. (iii) The local time of 82°30'E (India, Standard Meridian) is Indian Standard Time (1ST).
