Why is it necessary to adopt the local time of some central meridian is standard time for the country?

it is necessary to adopt the local time of some central meridian because each degree of longitude differs by 4 minutes.so if we follow the time of each meridian it would be very difficult as the people in the same country will have different time and the people travelling around would have to change there time now and then.therefore a central meridian in the country is taken as the standard meridian and the whole country follows its time.


How many degrees of longitude each side of the prime meridian?

Starting from the Prime Meridian and going either east or west, you'll cover 360 degrees of longitude before you find yourself back at the Prime Meridian again. Half-way around a sphere corresponds to 180 degrees. If you and your friend both start out from the Prime Meridian, and one of you travels east around the globe and the other travels west around the globe, you'll eventually meet each other. If you both travel exactly the same distance, then you each cover 180 degrees of longitude, and you meet exactly on the other side opposite the Prime Meridian, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, at 180 degrees longitude, both east and west.
