Why is their a time variation of two hours between the eastern most and western most part of country

Sia ? 6 years, 5 months ago

 Arunachal Pradesh is the easternmost state and Gujarat is the westernmost state. Naturally, they experience such variation in the local time because of the longitudinal distance of 30° longitudes. This longitudinal distance of 30° longitudes makes a difference of 2 hours between the Arunachal Pradesh and the Gujarat. (1 degree = 4 minutes,30 degree = 4 {tex}\times{/tex} 30 = 120 minutes i.e 2 hours).

Hence, when it is 6 a.m. in Arunachal Pradesh, the local time at Gujarat is supposed to be behind by 2 hours as compared to the Arunachal Pradesh,it is 4 a.m. Therefore, it is correct to say that when the sun has already risen in the Arunachal Pradesh, it is still night in the Gujarat.
