Where is the equator labeled on the line of latitude?
The equator is located at 0 degrees latitude and is labeled as such on maps and globes. It is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
In what increments are degrees of latitude usually labelled?
Degrees of latitude are typically labeled in increments of 1 degree. However, some maps or charts may label every 5 or 10 degrees for easier readability. The equator is labeled as 0 degrees, and then latitude lines are labeled in increments of 1 degree north and south of the equator.
Why are the line of latitude labeled south?
tropic on cancer
Which line of latitude is labeled 0 degrees and separates the Northern Hemisphere from the Southern Hemisphere?
The Equator is the imaginary line halfway between the North and South Poles and is at zero degrees latitude. It divides the Earth into North and South Hemispheres. The Sun appears directly above the Equator at the Autumn and Spring equinox. The Prime Meridian based on Greenwich, England, is at 0 degrees longitude and all other meridians are "X" degrees east or west of it. The Prime Meridian was established for navigation and is the basis on which International time is kept. The International Date line is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Prime Meridian and is the point which seperates yesterday from today. The line was drawn by international agreement, and was skillfully drawn so as not to cross any land to keep all areas of a country in the same day (and time zone). There are few bends and kinks in the International Date line to achieve this, but if it was a straight line, it would generally be at 180 degrees E or W longitude. The Prime Meridian and the International Date Line are the two lines that separate the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. The Tropic of Capricorn is at approximately 23 degrees 30 minutes S latitude and marks the point on the Earth's surface where the Sun is directly overhead at the southern Summer Solstice. It also marks the southernmost point of the Tropic Zone.
What latitude line passes directly through the city of new Orleans louisians?
The city of Nawlins ranges in latitude from 29.91° to 30.08° North. Any 'line' of latitude within that range ... and an infinite number can be drawn ... passes through the city. If your map or globe has latitude 'lines' printed on it that are spaced 10 degrees, 15 degrees, or 30 degrees apart, then the one labeled " 30 " crosses the city. But you must not make the mistake of thinking that those are the only officially blessed lines that exist.

Which line of latitude is labeled 0 degrees and separates the Eastern Hemisphere from the Western hemisphere?
There is no such mark The line of latitude labeled 0° is called the Equator, and forms the boundary between the northern and southern Hemispheres. The line of longitude labeled 0° is called the Prime Meridian. It's one of the two lines that separate the eastern and western Hemispheres.
In what increments are degrees of latitude usually labelled?
Degrees of latitude are typically labeled in increments of 1 degree. However, some maps or charts may label every 5 or 10 degrees for easier readability. The equator is labeled as 0 degrees, and then latitude lines are labeled in increments of 1 degree north and south of the equator.
What line of latitude is at 66.5 degrees north?
That would be the parallel labeled "66.5° North" on maps or globes where 0.5° lines are printed. It's also the approximate latitude of the Arctic Circle.
What 2 cities are located on the line of latitude labeled 30 degrees north?
Two of them are Cairo, Egypt, and Kerrville, Texas. There are at least a thousand others.
Why are the line of latitude labeled south?
tropic on cancer
What North American city is 22.53 degrees north latitude?
I can't find any labeled North American city, town, or village at that latitude. The nearest one is Jagüey Grande in central Cuba, at 22.525° North.

What is the latitude of the eastern hemisphere?
The Eastern Hemisphere includes ALL latitudes: latitudes are a measurement north and south, from the equator to the pole.The longitude of the Eastern Hemisphere includes all longitudes labeled E for east, from the Prime Meridian eastward to 180° longitude (the International Date Line). This includes all of Europe and Australia and most of Africa and Asia.

What line of longitude is labeled 0 degrees and separates the Northern Hemisphere from the Southern Hemisphere?
The 0 degree line of latitude separates te northern and the southern hemispheres. It is called the Equator. Lines of latitude mark distances from equator to each respective pole. From 0 degrees latitude (the Equator), there are 90 degrees to each pole. Each degree of latitude is 60 nautical miles. 1 nautical mile is approximately 6,076 feet. So, 90degrees x 60nm/degree = 5,400 nautical miles from the Equator to a pole. This is a very rough calculation, because the Earth is not perfectly round. Be sure to remember, that a statute mile is 5,280 feet (rather than 6,076 feet). So, in terms of statute miles, the Earth's circumference is closer to 25,000 miles. Air and land navigation typically uses nautical miles or distance measurement. Speed is in nautical miles per hour (called "knots"). Lines of latitude are parallel to each other, so the distance between them is the same no matter how far you are from the Equaor. But, lines of longitude (from north pole to south pole) are not parallel -- the distance between them is greatest at the equator (basically 1 nm apart), but the instant you move north or south the distance starts shrinking as the lines of longitutde merge te closer you get to the poles.
What are the lines of latitude that are labeled south?
Any latitude markers that are printed on any map or globe and are between the equator and the south pole must be labeled as "South" latitudes.
