Explanation / Answer

One hour of time difference corresponds to 15° of longitude

=> 15 deg = 1 hour

=> 1 degree = 1/15 hour

21) 60 degree = 4 hour

Time = 12 AM - 4 hours = 8PM

22) 1 degree = 1/15 hour

60 degree = 4 hours

Time at 0 deg = 10PM- 4 hours = 6PM

Time at 75 deg W = 6PM - (75/15) = 1PM

23) Correct option is "B". Gibbous Moon is the phase of the moon in which its illuminated part is greater than a semicircle and less than a circle.

24) Correct option is "C". It is true that Earth's orbit is not a perfect circle. It is a bit lop-sided. During part of the year, Earth is closer to the sun than at other times. However, in the Northern Hemisphere, we are having winter when Earth is closest to the sun and summer when it is farthest away.

25) Correct option is "B". Seven days after a spring tide, the sun and moon are at right angles to each other. ... This produces moderate tides known as neap tides, meaning thathigh tides are a little lower and low tides are a littlehigher than average.

26) Correct option is "C". Neap tides occur during the first and third quarter moon, when the moon appears "half full."

27) Correct option is "A". Latitude and longitude are imaginary lines that help us label every place on the surface of the earth. The most importantline of latitude is the equator, which runs horizontally around the fattest part of the earth.
