Standard Time

Standard Time is the official time set for a specific region or country, based on the position of the sun relative to the earth. It provides a consistent schedule for daily activities, business hours, and communication within that area. Since the Earth rotates 360 degrees in 24 hours, the planet is divided into time zones, each roughly 15 degrees of longitude apart. Standard Time helps synchronize clocks within these zones, making timekeeping uniform and reliable for everyone living and working in the area. It's adopted globally to coordinate activities across regions, reducing confusion caused by local variations.
