Answer:

0.9972

Explanation:

The sidereal day has a duration of 23 hours 56 minutes and  4 seconds approximately. The solar day has a duration of 24 hours. We have to convert the previous times to seconds:

Solar day:

24h*\frac{60min}{1h}*\frac{60s}{1min}=86400\\

Sidereal day:

23h*\frac{60min}{1h}+56min=1436min\\1436min*\frac{60s}{1min}+4s=86164s

Now, we calculate the fractional difference:

\frac{86164s}{86400s}=0.9972

Which countries in south asia have capitals that are centrally located
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Bangladesh

Nepal

Explanation:

There are eight countries that fall into the region of South Asia. Out of these eight countries, only two have centrally located capitals. Those two countries are Bangladesh and Nepal. Bangladesh's capital is Dhaka, and it is located in the central part of the country. It is the most populated city in the country, and it is also one of the places in the world with highest population densities. Kathmandu is the capital of Nepal. Nepal doesn't really have a shape so that a city can be far away from the borders, but if we look at it in a longitudinal manner, its capital comes to be in the central part of the country. It is by far the most populated city in the country, and it is the political, economic, cultural, administrative center.
