Consider the following statements:
1. During the summer solstice, areas between Equator and Tropic of Cancer receive more heat than other areas.
2. During the winter solstice, areas beyond the Artie circle experience continuous daylight for six months.
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
Sun is overhead the Tropic of Cancer beyond which Sun's rays are slanting during the summer solstice.
Hence, areas between the Equator and Tropic of Cancer receive more heat than other areas.
Also, the North pole is inclined towards the Sun and hence, areas beyond the Artie circle experience continuous daylight for six months during the summer solstice.
Consider the following statement:
1. Tropical deciduous forests never shed their leaves.
2. They are found in large part of our country.

Consider the following statements:
1. Mercury takes the shortest time to rotate and revolve around the Sun.
2. One Martian day is roughly the same as a day on Earth.
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
Mercury takes the shortest time to revolve around the Sun (88 days) but not for rotation.
Jupiter takes the shortest time for rotation. Earth takes 23 h 56 m and 4s to complete one spin and Mars takes 24h and 40m to spin on its axis. So, one Martian day is almost the same as one Earth day.

Select the correct answer using the code given below:
Earth is the largest inner planet and 5th largest planet in the Solar system. Though Mercury is closest to the Sun, it is not the hottest planet as there is no atmosphere to trap greenhouse gases.
Being covered in clouds, Venus is the hottest and the brightest planet of the Solar system due to its reflection and greenhouse gas effect.
Concerning commerce, which is the busiest ocean?
Consider the following statements:
1. China has an only one-time zone.
2. The North Pole and the South Pole have no time zones.
3. The International Space Station uses GMT.
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
Despite its vast geographical extent, China decided to follow a single time zone for unifying its country and its people soon after the Communist Party assumed power.
Since all longitudes converge at the North and South pole, they have no time zone. Research stations follow the time of their countries or from where they set off their expedition. ISS follows Greenwich Meantime.
