THE standard meridian is Greenwich, near London, UK, which is zero degrees. 82 East is in the middle of Asia and India. With a brief glance at an atlas I can't see anything hugely significant in that area, but an Asian or an Indian might.

Difference between meridian and longitude?

The longitude of a point on earth is the angle, east or west, between that point and a certain reference line on the earth. If you take a globe or a map and draw a line through all the points that have exactly the same longitude, the line you get is the meridian of that longitude. The reference line is the meridian of zero longitude, called the "Prime Meridian". On that line are all the points on earth that have zero longitude. The line joins the north and south Poles, and passes through the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, a suburb of London.

The sun rises earlier in arunachal pradesh as compared to gujarat in the east.but the clocks show the same time.how does it happen?

As India has chosen 82 and a half degree longitude as the standard meridian of India hence, the time at each state is same although the sun rises differently. Let's take Russia, it has no standard meridian for the whole country so people find it difficut beacause when a person moves from one stateto the other he/she always has to adgust the time. Hope it's useful.

What country is in the east?

East is a relative perspective, all countries have countries to the east of them! because the Earth is a globe! However, if you take a typical European view of a representational map of the world which would place Europe and Africa in the middle - ie centering the Greenwich meridian, then the "eastern" countries would be those near Japan and the "western" countries would be the continents of America.

How do you draw and label a line of longitude that is of of the prime meridian?

You need either a globe, or a map that shows the north and south poles. Take a thin rubber band and cut it, to make a thin elastic 'string'. On the map or globe, stretch it between the north and south poles, making sure that it passes just barely to the right (east) of London, England, and also just barely to the right of Accra, Ghana. Have your assistant hold the rubber band in place, while you gently and carefully draw a light pencil line along it, without moving it out of place. The pencil line very nearly marks the Prime Meridian on the map or globe.
