  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    The mean distance from the Sun to the Earth is called a/an _____________.
    Solution
    The average distance or mean distance  between the Sun & Earth is termed as a Astronomical Unit (AU).
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Which one of the following is the difference in local time between the places located at  $${165}^{o}$$ East and $${165}^{o}$$ West?
    Solution
    A difference of 15 degrees in longitude accounts for a difference in time of 1 hour. The longitudinal difference between the places given in question is 330 degrees (165+165), which means that difference in time will be 330/15, i.e. 22 hours.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Which of the following is not correctly matched?
    Solution
    Tropic of Cancer is located at a latitude of approximately 23.5 degrees north. Tropic of Capricorn is located at 23.5 degrees south latitude (approx.).
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Consider the following statements:
    (1) International Date Line is drawn zigzag to avoid landmass.
    (2) International Date Line is $${180}^{o}$$ West as $${180}^{o}$$ East of Greenwich.
    (3) A ship sailing Westward from Greenwich day when crossing International Date Line would put back the date by a day.
    Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
    Solution

  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Which one of the following planets is smaller in size than the Earth?

  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    How much of a time period $${15}^{o}$$ of longitudes account for?
    Solution
    Longitude refers to the angular distance of a place east or west of the Greenwich meridian. Time at a given place depends on the longitude and not the latitude. Time changes by 1 hour, i.e. 60 minutes by a difference of 15 degrees in longitude.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    If there are four places on the same meridian $$500km$$ apart and the local time at one place is 12:00 noon, what will be the time at the three other places?
    Solution
    Time at a given place depends on the longitude and not the latitude. Thus, all the places at the same meridian will have the same time. Time changes by 1 hour by a difference of 15 degrees in longitude.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Which one among the following processes is not part of a chemical weathering?
    Solution
    Exfoliation involves the removal of the oldest dead skin cells on the skin's outermost surface. Exfoliation is involved in all facials, during microdermabrasion or chemical peels. It is not a chemical weathering.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    $${28.38}^{o}$$ North and $${77.12}^{o}$$ East are the respective latitude and longitude of which one of the following places?
    Solution

  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    21st June is the longest day of the year for those living in the Northern hemisphere. What is the shortest day of the year for those living in the Southern hemisphere?
    Solution
    On 21st June, the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards the sun. The rays of the sun fall directly on the Tropic of Cancer. As a result, these areas receive more heat.  The longest day and the shortest night in northern hemisphere occur on 21st June.  At this time in the Southern Hemisphere all these conditions are reversed i.e on June 21st southern hemisphere experience longest night and the shortest day.
