How do lines of latitude run in relation to the equator?
Lines of latitude circle the earth, parallel to the equator.
What are the imaginary parallel lines numbered in degrees around the north and south of the equator?
both latitide as horizontal and longitude as vertical
What line run parallel to the equator?
Lines of latitude are parallel to the equator, and that includes the Arctic and Antarctic Circles. The Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn are also parallel to the equator.See the link below
Lines running parallel to the equator are called?
You have answered the question for yourself ; They are 'Latitudes''. Longitudes (Meridians) are lines that run North to South from the North Pole to the South Pole. Longitudes come to a point at the poles, but spread out to a maximum at the Equator.
What two things do lines of longitude and landitude run?
Lines of latitude run round the earth parallel to the Equator. Lines of longitude run from pole to pole, crossing the Equator at 90 degrees.
What are lines that run parallel from the equator called?
There are no parallel lines that run FROM the equator. Lines that are parallel TO the equator are the latitudes.
In which direction does a parellel or line of latitude run?
Latitude lines run from east to west, parallel to the equator. Longitudinal lines are perpendicular to latitude lines and run north to south.
What Lines of run parallel to the equator?
Lines of Latitude encircle the Earth, running parallel to the Equator.
At what latitude does the prime meridian lie?
The Prime Meridian is a Longitudinal line. That is, it runs North and South between the poles. Latitudinal lines run parallel to the equator and measure distance North or South of the equator. They run East and West, perpendicular to longitudinal lines. The Prime Meridian is at all latitudes.
Lines that run parallel to the equator are called?
Lines that run parallel to the equator are called latitude lines or parallels.
What are the circular lines that run parallel to the equator?
Lines of latitude.
Is Lines of latitude is parallel?
Lines of latitude run parallel to the Equator (which is zero latitude).
How do lines of latitude run in relation to the equator?
Lines of latitude circle the earth, parallel to the equator.
What are the imaginary parallel lines numbered in degrees around the north and south of the equator?
both latitide as horizontal and longitude as vertical
What line run parallel to the equator?
Lines of latitude are parallel to the equator, and that includes the Arctic and Antarctic Circles. The Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn are also parallel to the equator.See the link below
What lines run parallel through the equator?
The only line that runs parallel through the equator is THE EQUATOR. [The Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn are parallel to the equator, but are north and south of it (respectively) at 23.5 degrees. So they do not run through the equator.] The lines of longitude all run through the equator, but they are not parallel to each other since they all meet up at both the North and South Poles.
Is latitude up or down?
Latitude lines run parallel to the equator.
