Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

The EMS that is radiated from the sun in the form of solar rays reaches the earth and is absorbed in various places on the earth thus creating an energy balance with the incoming and the outgoing energy that is again reflected space in the form of long-wave terrestrial radiation.

The sun's energy is not distributed equally as the tilt of the earth and at the onset of the sunlight that falls directly on earth which is equivalent to one billionth of a fraction of energy that the sun radiates in the form of corpuscular energy.

Energy fall of the earth is 100% in which the outer surface reflects 35 units to space, 27 forms the cloud top, 2% form the snow and ice. 6% of the units by the inner atmosphere and the 65 % units get absorbed.14% in air and 50% in the ground, thus the atmosphere absorbs about 48% of the units.

Answer:

at 4 p.m Baghdad located at 45°E

at 8p.m Indonesia is located at x°

we have

common difference in time =8p.m-4p.m=4hours =4×60min

again

we have

4min=1°

4×60min=4×60/4=60°

since time is in p.m on both so they lie in same direction

Therefore, longitude of Indonesia=60°E.

hope this helps you. thanks
