Explanation:

Ans(2) = the ans is in the picture.
Ans(3) = The torrid zone receives the maximum amount of heat throughout the year because the rays of the sun fall vertically on the region. This is located between the tropic of cancer and tropic of capricorn in 23½N to 23½S.
Ans(4) = Greenwich Mean time is the yearly average of the time each day when the sun crosses the prime meridian at the royal observatory greenwich. Essentially mean time, is clock time rather than soler (astronomical) time.
Ans(5) = Because 15 degree of longitudes is equivalent to 1 hour in time. it is convenient to adopt time zones at 7.5 degrees or 15 degrees multiply. In other words time zones are separated by multiples of 1 hour or 1/2 hour.
