why is standard meridian important in india ?
437872
the standard meridian is important for india bcoz there is two hours difference between the eastern most and western most part of india.so inorder to maintain a common time through out india the central meridian 82.5 is selected as the standard meridian.the reason for the need of a common time n india is for the integrated running of railways,flights,many telecasts and for all these thing different places cant have different timings.

RA is the celestial equivalent of terrestrial longitude. Both RA and longitude measure an east-west angle along the equator; and both measure from an arbitrary zero point on the equator. For longitude, the zero point is the Prime Meridian; for RA, the zero point is known as the vernal equinox point (also known as the First Point of Aries), which is the place in the sky where the Sun crosses the celestial equator at the March equinox.\n\nRA is measured in hours, minutes, and seconds, eastward from the vernal equinox (sometimes it is also given in degrees). Being closely tied with sidereal time, it is both a unit of time and of angle. An hour of right ascension is equal to 15 degrees of arc, a minute of right ascension equal to 15 minutes of arc, and a second of right ascension equal to 15 seconds of arc. An alternative measure, used in navigation, is Sidereal Hour Angle. The main difference being that RA is measured Eastward, and SHA is measured Westward.\n\nRA can be used to determine a star's location and to determine how long it will take for a star to reach a certain point in the sky. For example, if a star with RA = 01:30:00 is at your meridian, then a star with RA = 20:00:00 will be in the meridian 18.5 sidereal hours later.\n\n\n[edit] History\nThe concept of right ascension has been known at least as far back as Hipparchos who measured stars in equatorial coordinates in the 2nd century BC. But Hipparchos and his successors made their star catalogs in ecliptical coordinates, and the use of RA was limited to special cases.\n\nWith the invention of the telescope, it became possible for astronomers to observe celestial objects in greater detail, provided that the telescope could be kept pointed at the object for a period of time. The easiest way to do that is to use an equatorial mount for the telescope, which allows the telescope to rotate at the same rate as the earth. As the equatorial mount became widely adopted for observation, the equatorial coordinate system, which includes right ascension, was adopted at the same time for simplicity. Equatorial mounts could then be accurately pointed at objects with known right ascension and declination by the use of setting circles. The first star catalog to use right ascension and declination was John Flamsteed's Historia Coelestis Britannica (1712, 1725).

meridians or longitude lines run perpendicular to the equator but only in spherical geometry. In euclidian geometry, no lines would be perpendicular because there are no lines on the same plane as the equator, which is required for euclidean geometry.

according to all India is in Northern Hemisphere... any doubt? consult basic geography book :)

In GCMS, an internal standard might be used to compare peak to peak ratios, if you're trying to quantitatively determine something.\n\nOtherwise, you don't normally use an internal standard for GC/MS. The purpose is to separate the analytes in your matrix and then identify them based on known fragmentation pattersn from your source (ESI, EI, CI, Maldi, etc)

************************************************************\n\nLongitute or 'meridians' are imaginary lines that run from the north pole to the south pole. Or maybe South to north...hmmm...I'm not sure which way....I suppose if you're in the north....but then.......Oh! Nevermind that. The point: These lines measure time and distance for east and west on the globe. Remember they run north and south. They resemble an orange with it's slices running up and down. Each line between the orange slices would be a longitude line. There is 24 primary longitude lines that are 60 minutes apart. They can be broken down into minutes, degrees, and seconds but thats probably more than you are needing to know about right now. The Prime meridian where the time begins, or where the zero/24 begin and end, is called zero point of longitude or universal prime meridian. Check out any globe of the earth and you will most likely find the Prime Meridian somewhere over Europe in Greenwich.\n\nLatitude goes the other way. They are parallel lines (lines that are equally distanced from one another at any point of the lines) that run east and west but measure distances north and south of the equator. They also run parallel with the equator. So, like the equator that runs all the way around the world without touching another latitude line, the others do as well. Each circle or ring, get smaller and smaller the further north or south you go.\n\nLines of latitude intersect with lines of longitude at points on the globe and are used to specifically  locate points on the globe. These are measured generally in degrees, but, as mentioned earlier, can be broken down even further. My city, for example, is 39 degrees north and 95 degrees west. I've included a website that you can check your own city's location and time among other information. Just enter your city name and press enter.\n\nI hope this is helpful. Good luck.\n\n*************************************************************

measurements have undergone quantum jump qualutatively (range wise and accuracy wise) from primitive to modern times.Necessity is the mother of invention applies beautifully to the art and science of measurements.\nAs opposed to primitive measurements which used to employ many systems of units for the various dimensions now we have standard international system of units or the metre,kilogram,second system of units

to locate a place, you need to know it's gedesic coordinates:longitude,latitude and height over MSL(mean sea level).MSL is not the same everywhere, each country decides wich level is it: it's defined after tide gauge, the average level is the MSL, tou must also know that different seas don't have the same level. \nHeight over MSL is defined by different surveying techniques: it can be GPS measurements, main levelling or geometric levelling (wich gives elevation accordingly to a height-known point).\nIf cartesians coordinates are used (X,Y,Z),it is more simple because you need to know distance from earth's center, you don't need to know sea level.

It's not something so provocative as "being different". It's tradition. Our fathers and grandfathers grew up learning and using the customary system and we were taught the same units. So we learned to measure distances in miles and lengths in feet and inches. As a result, units like liters and meters, while easier to interconvert and scientifically acceptable, have not caught on here.

>There are 24 longitudinal divisions of Earth's surface in which a standard time is kept, the primary division being that bisected by the Greenwich meridian. Each zone is 15° of longitude in width, with local variations, and observes a clock time one hour earlier than the zone immediately to the east.Under this scheme, local time is always close to mean solar time, while comparing the time in different places is a simple matter of adding or subtracting whole hours. However, the one hour separation is not universal and,the shapes of time zones can be quite irregular because they usually,but not always,follow the boundaries of states,countries or other administrative areas.Some states do have more than one time zone.

why  u guys  always bring india on this? is only india in east? wat about south east countries and fareast countries, they are not fallowing western trend ha?

ya it is necessart in India,\ncoz any thing can happened in India,\naccident, pollution, crime,\nto save ur health & ofcourse ur loved one,\nalso from financial & practicle way it is necessary.\nthats my opinion.

Baroda or anywhere in India, there are no standards when it comes to min. wage.  people need work and people who have work negotiate on the intesity of work rather than a market value of that work. not having a standard has made india a corrupted nation and very fatal for an individual.  people are deprived of education just so they can help their parents to distribute the work.  there could be an essay written about indian gov't and how unorganized their practice is, but who is going to challenge. you might get accused of something, and i might add, falseley. \nlittle more information that you might have needed.

Yes, it is the one unifying factor for Indians, and so it should. It also brings in a lot of money to the country, so why not?\n\nst
