 | Priya Menon answered |
Vertical lines on the globe are Known as longitudes. But zero degree longitude is called as prime meridian. Prime meridian is also a longitude. Here, 0 degree prime meridian is shown only as an example. Prime meridian is also known as longitude but vice versa of it is not possible. For example, Prime meridian is always a longitude but every longitude is not prime meridian. In this picture all longitudes are shown.
So, the correct answer is Option C.

The prime meridian is also known as the Greenwich Meridian. In a geographical coordinate system, the Greenwich Meridian (or prime meridian) is the 0° line of longitude from which we measure 180° to the west and 180° to the east. Most coordinate systems define a zero line at the equator that runs east-west.

 | EduRev Class 6 answered |
The Eastern Coastal Plains are distinguished by being much broader compared to the Western Coastal Plains. This broader expanse results from the deposition of sediment by several east-flowing rivers such as the Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna, and Kaveri, which create fertile deltas and contribute to extensive agricultural activities in this region.

**The Closest Planet to the Sun: Mercury**
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun in our solar system. It is the first planet in the order of planets from the Sun. Let's explore in detail why Mercury is considered the closest planet to the Sun.
**1. Distance from the Sun:**
Mercury is located at an average distance of about 57.9 million kilometers (36 million miles) from the Sun. This makes it the closest planet to the Sun. The distance between Mercury and the Sun is about 0.39 astronomical units (AU), where 1 AU is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun.
**2. Size and Mass:**
Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system, with a diameter of about 4,879 kilometers (3,032 miles). It is only slightly larger than Earth's Moon. In terms of mass, Mercury is also one of the smallest planets, with about 5.5% of Earth's mass.
**3. Orbit and Revolution:**
Mercury has the fastest orbit around the Sun compared to other planets. It completes one orbit around the Sun in about 88 Earth days. This rapid orbit is due to its close proximity to the Sun. Mercury also has the slowest rotation on its axis, taking about 59 Earth days to complete one rotation.
**4. Temperature Extremes:**
The proximity of Mercury to the Sun results in extreme temperatures on the planet's surface. During its daytime, the temperatures can reach up to 430 degrees Celsius (800 degrees Fahrenheit), making it the hottest planet in our solar system. However, at night, the temperatures can plummet to around -180 degrees Celsius (-290 degrees Fahrenheit) due to the lack of atmosphere to retain heat.
**5. Surface Features:**
Mercury's surface is characterized by numerous impact craters, similar to the Moon. It also has extensive plains and cliffs, including one of the biggest known impact basins called the Caloris Basin. The surface of Mercury is heavily cratered due to its lack of atmosphere to protect it from meteoroid impacts.
In conclusion, Mercury is considered the closest planet to the Sun due to its proximity, smaller size, faster orbit, and extreme temperature conditions. Its unique characteristics make it an interesting object of study for scientists and astronomers.

 | Anjana Rane answered |
Some assume our planet's changing distance from the sun causes the change in the seasons. That's logical, but not the case, for Earth. Instead, Earth has seasons because our planet's axis of rotation is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees relative to our orbital plane – the plane of Earth's orbit around the sun.

And that's because Earth spins -- toward the east. ... For the moment, let us just think about one motion - - Earth's spin (or rotation) on its axis. Earth rotates or spins toward the east, and that's why the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars all rise in the east and make their way westward across the sky.
