In summary, "affect" is a verb that means to influence or have an impact on something, while "effect" is a noun that refers to the result or consequence of an action. To know when to use "there", "their", or "they're", remember that "there" is used for location, "their" for ownership, and "they're" is a contraction of "they are". The difference between "its" and "it's" is that "its" shows ownership by a non-living thing, while "it's" is a contraction of "it is" or "it has". "Then" and "than" are differentiated by "then" being an adverb for sequence or timeframe,

Mega city, global city, and metropolitan city are all terms used to describe highly populated and economically significant urban areas. However, there are some subtle differences between these terms.

A mega city is typically defined as a city with a population of over 10 million people. It is characterized by rapid population growth, high levels of economic activity, and significant cultural diversity. Examples of mega cities include Tokyo, Delhi, and Shanghai.

A global city, on the other hand, is a city that has a significant influence on the global economy and is a hub for international trade, finance, and culture. Global cities are often centers of innovation and attract highly skilled workers from around the world. Examples of global cities include New York City, London, and Tokyo.

A metropolitan city is a large urban area that includes not only the city itself, but also its surrounding suburbs and satellite cities. These cities have a shared labor market, transportation system, and social and economic ties. Metropolitan cities are often characterized by their size and diversity, and they are important centers for commerce, education, and culture. Examples of metropolitan cities include Los Angeles, Paris, and Beijing.

In summary, while all of these terms refer to large and influential urban areas, they each have specific characteristics that set them apart. Mega cities are defined by their population size, global cities by their global economic influence, and metropolitan cities by their interconnectedness with surrounding areas.
