How Indian Standard Time Or IST Works | Class 9 | Learn With BYJU'S

We all wake up with the sunrise and sleep post the sun sets. However, which region of the country you live in determines when the sun rises and sets in your state. India is the seventh-largest country in the world, and even though we all follow the same time zone, there is a 2-hour gap between the extreme ends of India. This causes variation in the sunrise and sunset in some states. To avoid the confusion of different timings across states, we have a uniform time for the entire country: Indian standard time or IST. But, how does it work? How is it calculated? Why is there a time difference between states? Watch this video and learn all about Indian Standard Time. Do you think the time of the year also determines when the sun rises and sets for certain states?
