1. Annual range of temperature is greater in the Pacific Ocean than that in the Atlantic Ocean. 2. Annual range of temperature is greater in the Northern Hemisphere than that in the Southern Hemisphere.
The maximum and minimum annual temperatures of Ocean water are recorded in August and February, respectively, in the northern hemisphere. The annual temperature range is higher in enclosed seas than in the open seas. The Atlantic Ocean records a relatively higher annual range of temperature than the Pacific Ocean. Since the Northern hemisphere has more landmass as compared to the Southern hemisphere, the annual range of temperature will be greater in northern hemisphere.

Assertion (A): To orbit around the Sun the planet Mars takes lesser time than the time taken by the earth. Reason (R) : The diameter of the planet Mars is less than that of earth.
A is incorrect as Mars's revolution around the sun takes 1.88 years of Earth's revolution. The diameter of Earth is almost double the diameter of Mars.
