Read the given paragraph and answer the following questions.

Latitudes and longitudes are imaginary lines used to delineate the geographical position of any location on Earth. The Equator, which stands at 0° latitude, horizontally slices the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, and is one of the significant lines, along with the Tropic of Cancer at 23.5°N and the Tropic of Capricorn at 23.5°S. Notably, Africa is the only continent through which the Tropic of Cancer, the Equator, and the Tropic of Capricorn all pass, highlighting its diverse climatic zones. Longitudes, vertical lines running from north to south and converging at the poles, are measured in degrees east or west from the Prime Meridian (0° longitude) located in Greenwich, England. This coordinate system, combining latitudes and longitudes, facilitates precise navigation and geographic analysis around the globe. For instance, Indian Standard Time (IST) is set at UTC+05:30, indicating it is five hours and thirty minutes ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The longitudinal line defining IST passes through several Indian states, namely Gujarat, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Tripura, and Mizoram, tying these diverse regions together under a unified time zone.
