Answer:

a. Match the following answers:-

Tropic of Capricorn - iii. important latitude in the southern hemisphere.

Prime Meridian - ii. 180° longitude and iv. Greenwich

Equator - i. divides the earth into two halves.

I wasn't able to get what have you written in the hot question part. sorry. next time right the question nicely.

b. Answer the following question:-

The angular distance of a place north or south of the earth's equator, or of the equator of a celestial object, usually expressed in degrees and minutes is called Latitude.

The important latitudes are:-

a. Equator (0°)

b. North Pole (90° N)

c. Artic Circle (66.5°N)

d. Tropic of Cancer (23.5° N)

e. Tropic of Capricorn (23.5° S)

f. Antarctic Circle (66.5° S)

g. South Pole (90° S)

The angular distance of a place east or west of the Greenwich meridian, or west of the standard meridian of a celestial object, usually expressed in degrees and minutes is known as Longitude.

The important longitude are:-

a. Prime Meridian (0°)

b. International Date Line (180°)

International Date Line functions as a “ line of demarcation ” separating two consecutive calendar dates. When you cross the date line, you become a time traveler of sorts! Cross to the west and it's one day later; cross back and you've “gone back in time.

The Equator, or line of 0 degrees latitude, divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern hemispheres. ... The prime meridian, or 0 degrees longitude, and the International Date Line, 180 degrees longitude, divide the Earth into Eastern and Western hemispheres.

when it is 12 noon at Greenwich, the time at 15° east of Greenwich will be 15 4 = 60 minutes, i.e., 1 hour ahead of Greenwich time, which means 1 p.m. But at 15° west of Greenwich, the time will be behind Greenwich time by one hour, i.e., it will be 11.00 a.m. Similarly, at 180°, it will be midnight.

If the Earth suddenly started spinning in the opposite direction, everything not fixed to the ground would be launched at 3200 km/hr eastward. This would happen because everything will still be rotating due to inertia towards the east, while the ground suddenly moves towards the west

There is a close relation between longitude and time. The Earth makes one complete rotation of 360 degrees in 24 hours. It passes through 15 degrees is one hour or one degree in four minutes. Thus there is a difference of 4 minutes of time for one degree of longitude.

This meridian is called the Prime Meridian. ... It is, however, interesting to note that 180° East and 180° West meridians are on the same line. Now look at the grid of the parallels of latitude and meridians of longitude on the globe.

Answer :-

because you are near to tokyo and he is far from tokyo as compared to you.

Explanation:-

Because tokyo is the first city to see the sun rise.
