Earth MCQ Question and Answer | Geography MCQ Question

180° longitude is the International Date line.

The International Date Line (IDL) is an imaginary line of longitude on the Earth's surface located at about 180° east (or west) of the Greenwich Meridian.

Sun which is also a star is the nearest star to Earth. Besides Sun, Proxima Centauri is the nearest star to the solar system. The Sun is the closest star to Earth, about 93 million miles away.

For every 1° longitude, there is a difference of 4 minutes
For 2 hrs, there will be a difference of 30°. So the correct answer is 30° east as Cairo is ahead of Greenwich time.

The earth rotates once every 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.09053 seconds, called the sidereal period, and its circumference is roughly 40,075 kilometers. Thus, the surface of the earth at the equator moves at a speed of 460 meters per second - or roughly 1,000 miles per hour.

When it is 8 P.M. in Tokyo, 8.00 A.M. is the time at Panama Canal which is located at 180° W of it. If we travel from east to west the time decreases.

Lines of longitude, called meridians, run perpendicular to lines of latitude.

On June 21, the sun can be seen straight overhead along the Tropic of Cancer, while the North Pole reaches its maximum annual tilt toward the sun. As the planet rotates on its axis, areas within the Arctic Circle see the sun circle through the sky for 24 hours.

A relief map is a type of map that shows the physical features and elevation of an area's surface. It uses shading, contour lines, and color to represent the topography of the land, including mountains, valleys, and other geographical features. Relief maps provide a visual representation of the three-dimensional characteristics of the Earth's surface on a two-dimensional map, allowing viewers to understand the terrain and elevation variations of a specific area. Therefore, the correct option is Option A: Relief Map.

Cartography or map-making is the study and practice of crafting representations of the Earth upon a flat surface (see History of cartography), and one who makes maps is called a cartographer.
