Answer:

Mercator projection

Explanation:

Using a flat paper map to represent the sphere that is our planet has always been a challenge. The Mercator projection is one of the most common representation, although we know it is more accurate around the Equator line and the precision diminishes as you get closer to the poles.

There are other types of projections, correcting some issues, but with their own flaws too. The only accurate representation of the planet is a globe, since it matches the shape of the planet.

This difference exists because of the Earth's slight elipsoid shape.

Due to this reason, the measurement of a degree of longitude is given by the following formula.

$D_{Lo} = d_{0}*\cos{La}$

In which $d_{0}$ is the length in degrees at the Equator and La is the latitude(in degrees).

Answer:

Solar energy

Explanation:

Solar energy is renewable and a very cheap energy source that can easily be harnessed for a wide range of uses domestically and industrially.

Solar energy is sourced from the sun. Nuclear fusion within the sun releases a massive amount of energy into the solar system. The sun furnishes the solar system with insolation which can be used by living organisms and can be converted to other sources of energy.

This energy source is free and very much available almost all year round.
