Best Answer

Because the earth is not flat and it spins on its axis, once every twenty four hours. As a result at places whose longitude is 15 degrees East of the Greenwich meridian, the sun's position is one hour later than at the Greenwich meridian.

Where is the GMT?

GMT or Greenwich Mean Time is a time standard for the world and has no set location.
