What else can I help you with?
Why are the Arctic and Antarctic Circles taken as standard?
All lines of latitude are taken as standard. These lines of latitude, however, do wobble with the Earth's wobble.
Why are the equator and all lines of longitude called great circles?
The equator and all lines of longitude are called great circles because the represent the circumference of the earth. The other latitude lines along the globe are smaller then the actually circumference.
Lines of latitude are 181 or 180?
There are a total of 181 lines of latitude, with 180 being the maximum number. This is due to the equator being considered a line of latitude, which makes it a total of 181 lines from the equator to the poles.
What is a another name for latitude lines?
They are sometimes called parallels. They are parallel to the equator, zero degrees latitude, and parallel to each other. They are all circles, except for the poles which are points.A parallel is another name for a line of latitude because all lines of latitude are parallel to each other.Graticule .parallels
What line of latitude?
Each line of latitude is an imaginary east-west circle that connects all locations on Earth that are at the same latitude. Lines of different latitudes are different size circles.
How many degrees of latitude separate the North and South Poles?
The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. 180 degrees. All lines of longitude converge at both poles.
All points on the surface of earth that have latitude circles that are not zero are known as what circles?
Small circles

How are lines of latitude different from longitude lines?
A parallel or "line" of latitude is the collection of all points on earth that have the same single latitude. It circles the earth in an east/west direction, parallel to the equator, and cuts across all longitudes. A meridian or "line" of longitude is the collection of all points on earth that have the same single longitude. It joins the north and south poles, and cuts across all parallels of latitude.
All lines of latitude meet at what line?
Lines of constant latitude are parallel. No two of them meet anywhere.All lines of constant latitude cross all lines of constant longitude.
Do great circles on a globe have to pass through the North and South poles?
All lines of longitude meet at the poles; none pass through. No lines of latitude connect at or pass through either pole.
