Geography · Shape of the Earth
If the Earth were a flat disc instead of a sphere, what would be the characteristic of the sunrise?
- 1The sunrise would not occur at all as the disc would remain stationary.
- 2The sunrise would occur earlier in the eastern regions.
- 3The sunrise would occur earlier in the western regions.
- 4The sunrise would be visible at all places on the disc at the same time.✓
Correct answer
The sunrise would be visible at all places on the disc at the same time.
Explanation
स्पष्टीकरण:
मुख्य बिंदु: यदि पृथ्वी एक गोले के बजाय एक सपाट डिस्क होती, तो उसकी पूरी सतह एक ही समतल पर स्थित होती।
जब सूर्य का प्रकाश इस सपाट सतह पर पड़ता, तो पूरी डिस्क पर सूर्य की किरणें एक ही समय में पहुंचतीं। वक्रता (curvature) के अभाव के कारण समय क्षेत्रों (Time Zones) का अंतर उत्पन्न नहीं होता, जिससे डिस्क पर मौजूद सभी स्थानों पर सूर्योदय एक साथ दिखाई देता।
