The range of latitude between the north pole and south pole is 180 degrees.

You're free to draw as few or as many lines in that range as you feel you need.

Some maps and globes have many lines printed on them, some have only a few,

and some have no lines at all. My mapping software will print 324,000 lines of

latitude on the screen if I think I need them. There is no standard set of 'lines'.

Your question is a lot like asking "How many lengths are there on a ruler ?"

Below the equator the parallels are in which direction?

15 degrees north, 30 degrees north, 45 degrees north, 60 degrees north, 75 degrees north, 90 degrees north. ( The last person had put here 180 degrees north. If you look at many other info online, you will find it's actually 90 degrees north, not 180. Also, if you relate beginner geometry and the shape of angles....the equator, horizontal line, straight up to the north pole, is a 90 degree angle. hence the 90 degrees north parallel.)


Another name for longitude?

Latitudes are line Parallel to the equator placed equidistance on both sides. they are therfore some times called paralles and longitude is somtimes meridian hopes this helps:D


How many total degrees of latitudes are drawn on the globe?

In order to travel through all possible latitudes, you'd have to travel all the waybetween the Earth's poles. That's half-way around the globe, or 180 degrees.


How many parallels and meridians can be drawn on an globe at an interval of 10 degrees?

On a globe, there are 18 parallels (lines of latitude) that can be drawn at 10-degree intervals from the equator at 0° up to the poles at 90° north and 90° south. For meridians (lines of longitude), there are 36 that can be drawn at 10-degree intervals, ranging from 0° to 360°. Thus, in total, there are 54 lines (18 parallels and 36 meridians) on the globe at 10-degree intervals.


What is one of many lines on the global grid that circle the earth north or south of the equator used to measure degrees of latitude?

Degrees of latitude run east and west around the globe. They are also called parallels of latitude.

How many parallel latitudes are there?

That's like asking "How many lengths are there on a ruler ?" 'Latitude' is an angle used to describe locations on the Earth's surface. All locations on Earth have latitudes between zero and positive 90 degrees, or between zero and negative 90 degrees. How many numbers can you think of between -90 and +90 ? That's how many different latitudes there are.


How many latitudes lines are on earth?

The latitudes of places on Earth cover a range of 180 degrees ... from -90 at thesouth pole to +90 at the north pole.Within that range, there are an infinite number of different possible latitudes,just as there are an infinite number of possible lengths on a ruler, regardless ofhow many of them are marked on different rulers, maps, or globes. There is nostandard set of marks.

How is the space between two parallel lines of latitude divided?

Between any two parallels of latitude, you may draw as many more lines of latitudeas you feel you need on your map. There is no 'official' set of 'lines', and the truth isthat between any two latitudes you name, no matter how close together they are,an infinite number of other latitudes can be named.
