Correct Answer: A
Solution :
The Equator is the parallel line located at \[{{0}^{o}}\] latitude. It is identified as the latitude that falls at the port that is equidistant from the North Pole and the South Pole. The Equator's covers a distance on the Earth's surface approximately 24,901 miles long. The standard meridian of India is \[{{88.5}^{o}}\] E of the Greenwich Meridian. This meridian passes through the city of Allahabad. It runs through the centre of the country. The Tropic of Capricorn, or Southern tropic, is one of the five major circles of latitude of a map of the Earth. It is \[{{23}^{o}}26'22''\] south of the Equator. It the most southerly latitude at which the sun can appear directly overhead. The Arctic Circle is the parallel of latitude that runs \[{{66}^{o}}33'39''\] (or\[{{66.56083}^{o}}\]) north of the Equator and is one of the five major circles of latitude that mark maps of the Earth. Even thing north of this circle is known as the Arctic, and the one just to the south of this circle is the Northern Temperate Zone.
