Grade: 8
Subject: Geography
Topic: Local Time and Standard Time

Slide 1: Title Slide


Title: Local Time and Standard Time
📅 Class: 8 | Subject: Geography
📚 Prepared by: (Your Name/School Name)

Slide 2: Learning Objectives


🔹 Understand the concept of local time and how it is calculated
🔹 Know what standard time is and why it is used
🔹 Differentiate between local time and standard time
🔹 Explain the concept of time zones and Indian Standard Time (IST)

Slide 3: Introduction to Time


⏰ Time helps us organize our daily activities
🌍 The Earth is divided into 360° of longitude
🕓 Each 15° = 1 hour difference in time
🌞 Local time depends on the position of the sun

Slide 4: What is Local Time?


🌞 Local time is the time of a place based on the position of the sun
📍 It is noon when the sun is at the highest point in the sky
🧭 Varies from one longitude to another
📌 Example: When it is noon in Mumbai, it may not be noon in Kolkata

Slide 5: What is Standard Time?


🕒 A fixed time for a country or region
🌍 Necessary for coordination (transport, communication, etc.)
📏 Based on a specific meridian of longitude
📌 Example: India follows Indian Standard Time (IST)

Slide 6: Need for Standard Time


✅ Local time changes every few kilometers
❌ Difficult for scheduling trains, flights, TV shows, etc.
✅ So, countries adopt a standard time

Slide 7: Indian Standard Time (IST)


🧭 India’s standard meridian: 82½° East longitude
🕕 IST is 5 hours 30 minutes ahead of GMT (Greenwich Mean Time)
📍 Passes near Mirzapur (Uttar Pradesh)

Slide 8: Time Zones of the World


🌍 The Earth has 24 time zones
🧭 Each time zone covers 15° of longitude
📌 Countries may have one or more time zones
(Include a world map showing time zones)

Slide 9: Local Time vs. Standard Time


Aspect Local Time Standard Time
Definition Time based on sun's position Time fixed for a region
Varies? Yes, place to place No, same across region
Usefulness Personal/local use National coordination

Slide 10: Activities & Questions


📝 Think and answer:
1. What is the longitude used for IST?
2. Why can’t we use local time everywhere?
🧠 Activity:
Mark the Standard Meridian of India on the world map.

Slide 11: Summary


🔸 Local time varies with longitude
🔸 Standard time is fixed for ease and uniformity
🔸 India follows IST (based on 82½° E)
🔸 Time zones help manage global time differences
