Answer:

Option (b) is the correct answer of this question.

Explanation:

Prime Meridian is located at 0° longitude.A prime meridian is the meridian (a longitude line) in a system of geographic coordinates in which longitude is defined as 0 ° is known as prime meridian.

In prime meridian spheroid are divided into two hemispheres by this great circle.
The Eastern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere can be named if one uses East and West directions from a specified primary meridian.
Prime meridians have to be arbitrarily defined on Earth. A marker like a crater is often used; other times a prime meridian is described by reference to another celestial object, or magnetic fields.

Unlike an equator defined by the rotation axis, the primary meridian is arbitrary.Various definitions for the Earth's prime meridian have been used or encouraged in different regions throughout history.

Places on or near the Equator receive about 12 hours of daylight in June. Approximately how many hours of daylight do those same

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

B) 12 hours of daylight.

Explanation:

B) 12 hours of daylight.

In near the equator we experience 12 hours of daylight as the equator is situated exactly the halfway in between the two poles. The North pole experiences long daylight in the months, when the North Pole is tilted towards the Sun and shorter daylight when the pole tilted away from the Sun. The reverse is true for the Southern Poles. But this wouldn't have any effects in daylight on the equator.

Damming a river for hydroelectric power can _

Mandarinka [93]

<span>Hydroelectric power is produced as water passes through a dam, and into a river below. The more water that passes through a dam, the more energy is produced. Once a dam is built, an artificial man-made lake is created behind the dam. Electricity is produced by a device called a turbine.

how big is the sun on a 1 to 10 billion scale? How big is the earth in the same scale? Covert answers to cm. Assume Sun’s radius

galben [10]

Answer:

sun is bigger than earth is 13.9 cm

Explanation:

given data

radius of sun = 700,000 km

radius of earth = 6500 km

to find out

how big is the sun

solution

we know here

scale 1 to 10 billion is

scale = $\frac{1}{10*10^9}$

so here

we know that scaled diameter = actual diameter × scale .................1

so for earth

scaled diameter of earth = 2 × 6500 × $\frac{1}{10*10^9}$

scaled diameter of earth = 1.3 × $10^{-6}$

and

scaled diameter of sun = 2 × 700,000 × $\frac{1}{10*10^9}$

scaled diameter of sun = 1.4 × $10^{-4}$

sun is bigger than earth is 1.4 × $10^{-4}$ - 1.3 × $10^{-6}$

sun is bigger than earth is 0.000139 = 13.9 cm
