What is Central Meridian?
it is the prime meridian
Well, let's see . . . . . A "meridian" is a line of constant longitude, so wherever you are on it, the longitude is always the same number. Also, a meridian of longitude is a line that stretches all the way between the north pole and the south pole, covering all possible latitudes. So the coordinates on the central meridian are: (Any latitude you want), and (The same longitude everywhere on it).
That would be 5.5 times 15°, putting it at 82.5° east longitude.
In the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) system, each central meridian is assigned a value based on its position within one of the 60 zones, which are each 6 degrees of longitude wide. The central meridian for each zone is typically set at the midpoint of the zone's longitude range, with values expressed in meters. For example, the central meridian of Zone 1 is at -177 degrees longitude, while Zone 60 is at 177 degrees longitude. The central meridian's value is used as a reference point for calculating coordinates within that zone.
The Pacific Standard Time Zone should be centered around 120° west longitude.

Some thought that the name Meridian was synomous with junction . It was the junction for roads and railroads
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.

Central meridian is a line on a map. It begins with the letter c.
The 98th meridian is the meridian 98 degrees west of Greenwich. It extends from the North Pole, across North America, the Pacific Ocean, and Antarctica, to the South Pole. This meridian forms a big circle with the 82nd meridian east.
