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.

Saranya Chauhan answered |
Explanation:
The time taken by the Earth to complete one revolution around the Sun is known as a year. The Earth rotates on its axis while revolving around the Sun. The time taken by the Earth to complete one rotation is known as a day.
Revolution of Earth:
The Earth revolves around the Sun in an elliptical orbit. The average distance between the Earth and the Sun is about 149.6 million km. The Earth completes one revolution in its orbit around the Sun in 365 days and 6 hours. This 6 hours is compensated for by adding an extra day to the calendar every 4 years. This year is known as a leap year, and it has 366 days.
Importance of Revolution:
The revolution of the Earth around the Sun is responsible for the seasons on Earth. The tilt of the Earth's axis is the reason for the seasons. As the Earth revolves around the Sun, different parts of the Earth receive different amounts of sunlight. This causes the seasons.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, the Earth takes 365 days and 6 hours to complete one revolution around the Sun. This is important because it is responsible for the seasons on Earth. The extra 6 hours are compensated for by adding an extra day to the calendar every 4 years.

Sunlight bouncing from these clouds is a big part of the reason that Venus is so bright. By the way, Venus isn't the most reflective body in our solar system. That honor goes to Enceladus, a moon of Saturn. Its icy surface reflects some 90% of the sunlight striking it.

Amit Sharma answered |
The rotation of the earth on its own axis and the revolution of earth around the sun cause changes in season and day and night. The change in seasons is caused by the rotational tilt of the earth on its axis when it revolves around the sun.
The earth has an axial tilt of 23.5 degrees which means that its rotation axis is inclined to its orbital axis at an angle of 23.5 degrees. This causes one pole of the earth to be directed more towards the Sun on one side of the orbit, and the other pole on the other side. This is the reason for occurrence of 'seasons' on earth'.
As the earth spins on its axis, producing night and day, it also moves about the sun in an elliptical (elongated circle) orbit that requires about 365 1/4 days to complete. The earth's spin axis is tilted with respect to its orbital plane. This is what causes the seasons.

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.

The correct answer is option 'B', external process.
External processes are the continuous wearing down and rebuilding of the land surface. These processes are driven by external forces such as weathering, erosion, and deposition.
There are several key points to understand about external processes:
1. Definition of external processes:
- External processes refer to the physical and chemical processes that occur on the Earth's surface.
- These processes are primarily driven by external forces, such as weathering, erosion, and deposition.
- External processes are responsible for shaping the Earth's surface over long periods of time.
2. Weathering:
- Weathering is the process by which rocks and minerals are broken down into smaller pieces.
- It can occur through physical processes like freeze-thaw cycles, abrasion, and exfoliation.
- Chemical weathering also takes place, involving chemical reactions that alter the composition of rocks and minerals.
3. Erosion:
- Erosion involves the removal and transportation of weathered materials by various agents such as water, wind, ice, and gravity.
- Water erosion occurs through the action of rivers, streams, and rainfall.
- Wind erosion is common in arid and desert regions, where strong winds can pick up and transport sediment.
- Glacial erosion occurs when glaciers move and carve out valleys and other landforms.
- Gravity plays a role in mass wasting, which refers to the downslope movement of material due to gravity.
4. Deposition:
- Deposition occurs when eroded materials are dropped or settled in new locations.
- It is often associated with the slowing down or cessation of erosional processes.
- Deposition can result in the formation of various landforms, such as deltas, beaches, and alluvial plains.
Overall, external processes are responsible for the continuous wearing down and rebuilding of the land surface over time. They play a crucial role in shaping the Earth's surface features and are an important part of the geological cycle.

While large parts of South America, Africa and Asia are located in the Southern Hemisphere, the only two continents whose entire territory is south of the Equator are Australia and Antarctica.
