The best answer is C.

Mercator projection is a type of map projection invented and introduced by Gerardus Mercator in the year 1569. The meridians are equally spaced, parallel vertical lines and the parallels of latitude are parallel horizontal lines spaced farther apart as their distance from the equator increases.

This projection is widely used for navigation charts because any straight line on a Mercator- projection map is a line of constant true bearing that enables a navigator to plot a straight-line course.

It is often described as a cylindrical projection  but it must be derived mathematically.

State your claim Make sure your claim fully explains why you can see the moon during the daytime and night. Whey can we see the
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

The day moon is a product of the sunlight reflected on the satellite. Sometimes, we can see the moon during the daytime, because depending on the moon´s position, sunlight is reflected on the satellite, allowing us to see from the Earth during the day.

Explanation:

The moon is a dull satellite that has no light by itself. The only way we can see it is through the reflection of the sunlight on this body. This effect also depends on the moon´s position concerning the Earth and to the sun. It is a natural product of the rotation and translation movement of the Earth and the moon.

This effect is related to the moon phases: new, first quarter, full and third quarter. During the daytime, we can see the waxing and waning gibbous phases because the moon is placed in a way that sunlight reaches it and reflects its shape. When this effect occurs, we can see that the star and the satellite get more separated each day. The moon gets to hide in the skyline later than the sun. This is why sometimes we can see the moon during the evening or the day.

Reasons why South Africa must include renewable energy in it's energy mix
Makovka662 [10]
Well 1st because everyone is slowly transitioning into renewable energy becasue fossil fuels will run out. Renewable energy especially in an LDC does cost a lot especially when beginning to transition to lets say using petroleum and now using solar. It will cost a lot to make or buy solar pannels. Including Renewable engry will help prolong fossil fuels and help slow down climate change or global warming.
