Explain Significance of standard meridian

Dear Student,

The hour of a spot relies upon the longitude that goes through it. Subsequently, the standard time for every nation is typically taken as the hour of the focal meridian that goes through it. Hence, we need a standard meridian for the country. 

The standard Meridian, from which time and geological area of a nation is determined and it is the main longitude of a country. Scopes and Longitudes which are otherwise called the Geographical directions, assume a significant part in fixing nearby time and route.
Standard meridian is valuable for a country since it shows and fixes a specific time for the country. A nation may have numerous longitudes in the middle and there is a delay of 4 minutes between every longitude.

Regards.
