1. The North Pole and the South Pole serve as the reference points on Earth.
2. The latitudinal location of heat zone are:
a)the torrid zone refers to the area of the earth between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. It is located geographically by 23.5 degrees' north latitude and 23.5 degrees' south latitude.
b) The temperate zones (latitudes from 23.5° to the polar circles at about 66.5°, north and south) are where the widest seasonal changes occur, with most climates found in it having some influence from both the tropics and the poles.
c) Northern Frigid zone extends from artcic circle 66 and half degree north to north pole 90 degree north. Southern frigid zone is from Antarctic 66 and half degree south to south pole 90 degree south.
3. The torrid zone receives the maximum amount of heat throughout the year because the rays of the sun fall vertcally on this regon. This is located between the tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn in 23 1/2N to 23 1/2 S.
4. As the reference for GMT, the Prime Meridian at Greenwich therefore became the centre of world time and the basis for the global system of time zones. The Airy Transit Circle (telescope) became the telescope that would define the Prime Meridian of the World.
5. The world’s time zones are based on the fact that the Earth moves through 15 degrees of longitude each hour. Therefore, there are 24 standard time zones (24 hours x 15 degrees = 360). Time zones are counted from the Prime Meridian, with each time zone based on a central meridian, counted at 15 degree intervals from the Prime Meridian, and extends 7.5 degrees to either side of the central meridian.
