A Prime Meridian is a meridian (a line of longitude) in a geographic coordinate system at which longitude is defined to be 0°. 

Identify the red line in the picture. Options are as follows 
 
  • a)
    Latitudes
  • b)
    Grids
  • c)
    Prime Meridian
  • d)
    Longitude 
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

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.

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.

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.

- This line marks the southernmost point where the sun can be seen at the winter solstice.
- It is also the boundary of the Antarctic region, where for at least one day a year the sun does not completely set (during the summer solstice) and does not rise (during the winter solstice).
- Beyond this circle, there is at least one day a year when the sun does not rise or set, depending on the season.
