What is a standard time ❓ how it is useful

Varun Banda 8 years, 4 months ago

Standard time is the synchronization of clocks in different geographical locations within a time zone to a common time standard, usually based on the meridian at the centre of the time zone; rather than using a local meridian as a local mean time or solar time standard.

Necessity of Standard Time :

The Earth has been divided into 24 time zones of one hour each. Each of these zones covers 15 degrees of longitude. As the local time differs by 4 minutes at every longitude, it would create a lot of confusion regarding time for any country as a whole which may stretch across several longitudes. Therefore each country selects a central meridian and the local time of this meridian is the standard time of that country.
