Explanation:
The history of longitude is a record of the effort , by astronomers, cartographers and navigators over several centuries, to discover a means of determining longitude. .
Explanation:
The Arctic Circle and the Tropic of Cancer are the special latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere. They are situated at 66 1/2° N and 23 1/2° N respectively. On the other hand, the Antarctic Circle and the Tropic of Capricorn are the special latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere. They are situated at 66 1/2° S and 23 1/2° S respectively.
Heat Zones
The area between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn receives the maximum heat from the Sun. This region is known as the Torrid Zone. The area between the Arctic Circle and the Tropic of Cancer in the Northern Hemisphere, and that between the Antarctic Circle and the Tropic of Capricorn in the Southern, have moderate temperatures. These regions are the Temperate Zones.
Lastly, the area north to the Arctic Circle and that south to the Antarctic Circle are close to the Poles and receive the sunlight of very low intensity. So it is very cold here. These regions are called the Frigid Zones. The Frigid Zones, the Temperate Zones, and the Torrid Zone are called the Heat Zones.
