yes it is
No, the 60th parallel is not half as long as the equator. The equator is the longest latitude line and divides the Earth into two equal halves, while the 60th parallel is closer to the poles and represents 60 degrees north or south of the equator.
The equator is longer than the coastline of Europe. The equator is approximately 40,075 km long, while the coastline of Europe is around 39,000 km long.
There are 10.89 acres in a 40-foot wide by half-mile long section.
The equator is the imaginary line that divides the earth into the northern and southern hemispheres, and it is located at the widest part of the earth's shape. This positioning results in equal distribution of sunlight across the earth, making it an ideal point to separate the hemispheres based on the tilt of the earth's axis.
Sasha is riding her scooter a distance of 2.0 miles to Jada's house. She has ridden 1.3 miles so far. If d = the distance in miles she has left, which equation best describes this situation?
Long raised strips of land that run parallel to the coast are called barrier islands. These islands serve as a buffer against high tides, storms, and erosion, protecting the mainland coastal areas. Barrier islands are typically dynamic landforms that are constantly changing due to natural processes like winds, waves, and currents.
You cannot get to the equator driving south from Michigan; the Gulf of Mexico gets in the way.
Quebec stretches from approximately the 45th parallel of latitude on the south, to just above the 60th parallel of latitude on the north.
The Earth's circumference is about 40,000 kilometers, that's 40 million meters.
A cylinder or half a torus (donut), or a long tubular shape whose ends are lined up so as to be parallel..
How long is the equator?
The part of the equator that crosses Kenya is 488 miles long.
Longitudinal line are the "long" ones that pass though Earth's poles.Latitudinal lines, "lat" sounds like "fat" and they go parallel to Earth's fat middle line the equator.
No, the Equator is about 40,075 kilometres (24,901 mi) long.
If the cut is parallel to the long dimension, then each piece is 40 inches long, but its width is 1/2 of the original board's width. If the cut is parallel to the short dimension, then the width is preserved, and each piece is 20 inches long. If the cut is parallel to to the flat, then each piece is 40 inches long and has the original width, but is only 1/2 the thickness of the original board.
60 years, because they celebrated the 60th anniversary in 2011.
The North-South lines, forming half circles between the two poles are meridians of longitude, which are of the same length, unlike the parallels of latitude, that are all parallel to the equator and whose perimeter decreases as the increasing ditance from the equator.
YES!The way you remember which is which ... Longitude has 'Long' in it. Lines of longitude are always the same length because they circle the Earth from Pole to Pole, the LONG way around.Lines of Latitude on the other hand, circle the Earth getting progressively shorter the further North or South of the Equator they are.
