Q. Which of the following pair is CORRECT?
I. Prime Meridian - Longitude,
II. Tropic of Cancer - Latitude,
III. Equator - Latitude
I. Prime Meridian - Longitude,
II. Tropic of Cancer - Latitude,
III. Equator - Latitude
✅ Correct Answer: (D)
All options are correct
Explanation: Four of the most significant imaginary lines running across the surface of Earth are the equator, the Tropic of Cancer, the Tropic of Capricorn, and the Prime Meridian. While the equator is the longest line of latitude on Earth (the line where Earth is widest in an east-west direction), the tropics are based on the sun's position in relation to Earth at two points of the year. All three lines of latitude are significant in their relationship between Earth and the sun. Running in the opposite direction, north-south, the Prime Meridian is one of the most important lines of longitude on Earth.
