How an annulus is formed?

An annulus is formed by taking a circular region and removing another smaller circular region from its interior. The resulting shape consists of the area between the two circles, creating a ring-like structure with two boundaries.


What are parallel of latitude and meridian of longitude?

Every position on the Earth has a latitude and a longitude measured in degrees. Changing the latitude while keeping the same longitude means you are moving north or south along a meridian. On the other hand changing the longitude but not the latitude means that you move east/west along a parallel of latitude. Lines of latitude are called 'small circles' (except the equator) because they get smaller and smaller at higher latitudes, but they are always parallel, so they are parallels of latitude. Lines of longitude are 'great circles' because they always lie in a plane that goes through the Earth's centre, and they are called meridians. Your personal meridian at this moment is a great circle that contains you, the north and south poles, and the centre of the Earth. Get an onion and mark a small 'x' on it, then cut it in two at the 'x' making sure to cut it through its north and south poles as well. The cut plane marks the meridian of the 'x'.

Why inner planets are closer to the sun than outer planets?

The inner planets are closer to the sun than the outer planets because of the way the solar system formed. When the solar system was still a swirling disk of gas and dust, the inner planets formed closer to the center where it was hotter, while the outer planets formed in the colder regions farther away. This distribution of planets based on temperature led to the inner planets being closer to the sun than the outer planets.
