$${7}^{o}30''E$$

B
$${7}^{o}30''W$$

C
$${172}^{o}30''E$$

D
$${90}^{o}W$$

Solution

If the time of the concerned place is 6 hours behind Indian Standard Time (IST), which itself is 5.5 hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), it means that it is located to the west of Prime Meridian, i.e. 0 degrees meridian. A difference of 15 degrees in longitude represents 1 hour of difference. This means that the given location is located 7.5 (15 divided by 2) degrees west of the Prime Meridian, i.e 7 degrees and 30 minutes W.
Question 9
1 / -0

Which of the following statements is the reason for 'Seasons' on the surface of the Earth?

A
Rotation of the Earth

B
Revolution of the Earth around the Sun

C
The 23.5 degrees inclination of the Earth's rotation axis with respect to the plan of the ecliptic

D
Revolution of Earth in elliptical orbit around the Sun

Solution

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.

What is the difference between asteroids and comets?
(1) Asteroids are small rocky planetoids, while comets are formed of frozen gases held together by rocky and metallic material.
(2) Asteroids are found mostly between the orbits of Jupiter and Mars, while comets are found mostly between Venus and Mercury.
(3) Comets show a perceptible glowing tail, while asteroids do not.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

A
1 and 2

B
1 and 3

C
Only 3

D
All of the above

Solution

Difference between asteroids and comets lies mainly in their composition. Both were formed during the early phase of the solar system. Asteroids consist mainly of rocky and metallic material, while comets comprise if ice, frozen gases, dust and rocky and metallic material.
Asteroids are found nearer to the Sun while comets are found farther from the Sun as the heat can melt away comet's ice. In fact, when a comet approaches the Sun, it starts losing its ice because of the Sun's heat as a result of which a perceptible glowing tail can be seen.
