π°οΈ Why Sunrise Time Varies Across India?
Even though India uses a single time zone, sunrise occurs at different clock times due to:
- Longitude differences (East vs West)
- Seasonal tilt of the Earth
- Local terrain and elevation (affects actual visibility)
For instance, the sun rises earlier in Kolkata than in Ahmedabad, despite the same IST.
