What are the imaginary lines that circle east and west around the earth?
The equator, or line of zero latitude, runs around the Earth at its widest point.
What imaginary line divides the earth on its widest point?
The equator
How far is the trpic of Capricorn from the equator in km?
Every point on the Trpic of Capricorn OR the Tropic of Cancer is about 2,608 km from the equator. Every point on the Arctic Circle or the Antarctic Circle is about 2,608 km from the north or south pole respectivly.
What is an location on earth relative to the equator?
The angle from the equator north or south to any point on Earthis the 'latitude' of that point.
What point is at the center of the southern hemisphere?
The South pole is the most southerly point.
What is the name of the imaginary circle created by extending earth's equator to space?
The celestial equator is an imaginary circle created by extending Earth's equator into space. Zenith is an imaginary point in the sky directly above and observer on earth.
What are the imaginary lines that circle east and west around the earth?
The equator, or line of zero latitude, runs around the Earth at its widest point.
What imaginary line divides the earth on its widest point?
The equator
What is the name of imaginary line that divide the earth in half?
The equator is the imaginary line that divides the Earth in half. It is a circle around the Earth at its widest point, equidistant from both poles. The bulge of the planet at the equator is cause by the Earth's rotation, as is the corresponding flattening at the poles.The Equator, Ecuador is located right on the line, which is where it gets its name from.Equator
Why is the speed of the rotation of the earth greater at the Equator than at the Arctic Circle?
A point on the equator has to turn through almost 25,000 miles in a day. A point 100 feet from the north pole only has to turn through about 314 feet in a day.
Can a satellite maintain an arctic circle orbit?
No. The plane of any satellite orbit has to include the center of the earth, so the ground-track of the orbit would be great circle on the earth if the planet didn't rotate. Another way to visualize it: For every point in a satellite orbit that's north of the equator, there has to be a point south of the equator. (Technically, this is only true for circular orbits, but conceptually it's a good way to get the point across.)
Where is Mexico narrowest point?
Mexico's narrowest point is known as the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. At its narrowest point, it stretches for 200 Km (124 miles), separating the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean.
How far is the trpic of Capricorn from the equator in km?
Every point on the Trpic of Capricorn OR the Tropic of Cancer is about 2,608 km from the equator. Every point on the Arctic Circle or the Antarctic Circle is about 2,608 km from the north or south pole respectivly.
What is an location on earth relative to the equator?
The angle from the equator north or south to any point on Earthis the 'latitude' of that point.
How wide is the Tennessee river at its narrowest point?
The narrowest point of the Tennessee River is 10 1/2 ft wide.
Most of earth's cold polar waters move towards what central point on the planet?
the equator the equator
What point is at the center of the southern hemisphere?
The South pole is the most southerly point.
