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.

d)
365 days and 6 hours

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.

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.

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.
