Question 12

How is the Local Time of a place fixed?

Answer

The Local Time of a place is fixed according to the central meridian of its country. When the sun is overhead on the central meridian it is 12 o'clock noon at that place. For example, the central meridian of India is 82 1/2° E and passes through Allahabad and it is the standard time line for the whole country.
