Question

3. What are the features of parallels of latitudes?
4. Why is it important to have standard time for each country?
5. How is time calculated through longitudes?​

Answer 1

Answer:

3.Latitude is the angular distance of a place north or south of the Equator.

There are 180 parallels of latitudes apart from the Equator.

Each parallel of latitude is a circle.

Only the Equator is a Great Circle, all the rest of the latitudes are Small Circles.

4. Since many meridians pass through it, it is important to adopt the local time of one central meridian of a country as the standard time for the country .

5. Because one day is 24 hours long one can easily use time to calculate longitude. One hour of time difference corresponds to 15° of longitude (360°/24 hours = 15°/hour). ... Because of the use of timezones the sun will be highest in the sky from about 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM local time for an observer.
