The Indian Standard Time is calculated from 82°30'E meridian passing through Mirzapur.

  • In India, the longitude of 82½° E (82° 30'E) is treated as the standard meridian.
  • The local time at this meridian is taken as the standard time for the whole country. It is known as the Indian Standard Time (IST).
  • India located east of Greenwich at 82°30'E is 5 hours and 30 minutes ahead of GMT.
  • The latitude of a place may be determined with the help of the altitude of the sun or the Pole Star.
  • The longitude of a place is its angular distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. It is also measured in degrees. The longitudes vary from 0° to 180°.

Additional InformationPrime Meridian- is also known as Greenwich Meridian.

  • The Prime meridian is the most important line of longitude.
  • It is located at zero degrees longitude (0˚).
  • The Prime Meridian runs through Greenwich, a place near London.
  • As the earth rotates from west to east, those places east of Greenwich will be ahead of Greenwich time and those to the west will be behind it.
