Que: Why do we have the concept of time zone?
Ans: The sun does not shine with the same intensity over all parts of the world at a particular time. if it is overhead at one place (midday), they it does not shine at all (mindnight) at the place diresty opposite to that place on the earth. So if we have the same time, then 12 noon will mean nidday at one place, and midnight at another. to avoid such an awkward system, we have the system of time zone, so that everywhere a particular time means the same stage of the day.
Que: Write a short nort on heat Zones?
Ans: Heat zones are the different zones of the earth, where the sun's rays fall differently, thus causing different climate patterns. These zones are called the Torrid Zone, the two Temperate Zones, and the two Frigid Zones. The Torrid Zone is very hot since the sun shines overhead here. The Temperate Zones maintain a moderate climate, and the Frigid Zones extremely cold.
Que: How do latitudes and longitudes help in locating a point? Why is only one of them insufficient in doing this?
Ans: Latitude and longitudes from a grid. Two different point may lie on the same latitude or the same longitude. But there exists only one point where latitude and longitude intersect. So a point can be identified with help of the latitude and longitude on which it lies.
