    Time difference between Arunachal pradesh and gujrat =2hrs ..how??????? strange....

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Gr8AmbitionZMarch 1, 2014 at 10:57 AM

      Ofcourse this may sound strange. But its true...

      The local times of places which lie on different meridians are bound to differ. The sun rises two hours earlier in Arunachal Pradesh as compared to Gujarat in the west. This causes a time lag of two hours from Gujarat to Arunachal Pradesh. To avoid confusion due to time differences and to have a standard time for reference, the time along the meridian (82 Degrees 30 ' E) passing through Mirzapur (Uttar Pradesh) has been taken as the standard time for the entire country. This is why the watches show the same time. Hope it helps.
