A globe is useful when we want to study the earth as a whole as we can see the water bodies, the axis, the tilt and the location of the countries on the globe.

By measuring the angle of the pole star, one can find out the latitude of a place.

Moderate

because it is away from the equator.

An equinox occurs twice a year, when the tilt of the Earth's axis is inclined neither away from nor towards the Sun, the centre of the Sun being in the same plane as the Earth's equator

at the poles

decreases

Torrid zone lies between 231/20N and 231/20S.

Slanting

The equator is an important reference point to locate places

A needle is fixed through a globe in a tilted manner called axis of a globe.

The parallel circles from the equator upto the poles are called latitudes.

Torrid Zone

In this zone, the sun does not rise much above the horizon so its rays are always slanting and provides less heat

The true shape of Earth is geoid

38. There are mainly three heat zones of the earth:
i) Torrid zone
ii) Temperate zone
iii) Frigid zone ional, Sikhism and Judaism.

Any point on the globe can be located by knowing its latitudes & longitudes

The standard meridian is 82o 30’E of India.
