Why does sunrise occur earlier in Arunachal Pradesh than in Gujarat?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Arunachal Pradesh is farther east

The direct answer is A: Arunachal Pradesh is farther east. Earth rotates from west to east, so places located farther east generally experience sunrise earlier than places farther west. Arunachal Pradesh lies in northeastern India, while Gujarat lies in western India. Thus, for the same date, the Sun appears to rise earlier in Arunachal Pradesh. Option A is correct because the east-west, or longitudinal, difference controls this time difference. Option B is wrong because being farther north mainly affects latitude and seasonal conditions, not this basic east-west sunrise comparison. Option C is false because the two places are not on the same longitude. Option D is not the reason; being near the sea does not determine which of these places receives sunrise first. Cue: farther east, earlier local sunrise.
