Question

Define local time.

Answer 1

- Local time of a given place is calculated by the position of the sun at noon.
- It is based on the local meridian passing through that place.
- When the sun is exactly overhead at that meridian, it is 12 noon.
- The places lying North and South on the same meridian will have the same local time. On the other hand, the places lying East or West of that meridian have different local times.
