There is a 4-minute difference between the solar day and the sidereal day because: The Earth must revolve an additional degree in order to put the Sun into alignment with the same perceived meridian in the sky after one complete axial rotation. Because of this, the solar day is approximately 4 minutes longer than the sidereal day.

<h3>What is a solar day?</h3>

A solar day refers to a day's length which is measured to be twenty-four hours.

<h3>What is a Sidereal day?</h3>

A sidereal day represents the amount of time it takes for the earth to complete a rotation on its axis in relation to the starts.

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. This maps represents the triangle trade.

Explanation:

The triangular trade was a slave trade in which manufactured goods such as alcohol, metal containers, clothing and firearms were transported from Great Britain (especially Liverpool). Cargo transported in Africa was exchanged for slaves transported to America or the West Indies. The slaves were replaced with sugar, cotton, rum and tobacco. For the shipowner, the deal was risky but very profitable. Each stage was profitable and the cost of the ship could be recovered in just a few trips. The triangle trade was practiced on a full scale since the 17th century and reached its peak in the late 18th century.
