Of course yes. Both southern and Northern hemispheres as depicted by the globe's composition are anchored by the equator. Latitudinal and longitudinal axes merge at the equator.
What else can I help you with?
Why the equator is the ideal basis for all latitude?
Because its the foundation for the all latitudes and all latitudes start to originate up and down from the equator.
Why equator is ideal basis for all latitudes?
Because its the foundation for the all latitudes and all latitudes start to originate up and down from the equator.
Why is the equator the great circle?
It is a circle because, the earth is a circle, and the equator stretches all the way around the earth.
Are the Arctic Circle 23 degrees south and the Equator lines of latitude or longitude?
First of all, the Arctic Circle is the one at roughly 23.5 degrees North.It ... along with the equator, the Antarctic Circle, and the Tropics of Cancerand Capricorn ... are all parallels of constant latitude.
Why is the equator the only parallel that is a great circle?
The equator is the only parallel that is a great circle because it is centered on the Earth's axis of rotation. This means that it divides the Earth into two equal hemispheres and its circumference is the maximum possible for a circle on the Earth's surface. Other parallels are smaller circles and not great circles.
Is the equator?
Equator is a line that passes around the earth halfway between the poles. It is a great circle. All parallels are drawn completely around the earth with all points equidistant from the equator.
Is the Antarctic Circle latitude or longitude?
The Antarctic Circle is the collection of all the points on earth that are 23.5 degreessouth of the equator ... 23.5 degrees south latitude.
When you move away from the equator where do meridians go?
Meridians converge at the poles and intersect the equator at 90 degrees. They are all great circle lines called lines of longitude. The equator is a line of latitude and the only line of latitude that is a great circle line. As you move away from the equator the lines of latitude describe smaller and smaller circles round the planet as you approach the poles.
What season is it at the equator if it is summer in the northern hemisphere?
the answer to that question would be...summer. itis summer in the equator all the time because , the equator is farther away from the arctic circle than any other country or island or any thing!
What is the line that goes between the Arctic Circle and the Equator?
The line that goes between the Arctic Circle and the Equator is the Tropic of Cancer, which is located at approximately 23.5 degrees north latitude. It marks the northernmost point where the sun is directly overhead at its zenith.
Are all parallels great circles?
No, not all parallels are great circles. A great circle is the largest possible circle that can be drawn on a sphere, and it divides the sphere into two equal hemispheres. Parallels, or lines of latitude, are circles that run parallel to the equator, and only the equator itself is a great circle. Other parallels, such as those near the poles, are smaller circles and do not divide the sphere into equal halves.
Why is a great circle used for navigation?
Because any 'Great Circle' is the shortest distance across a sphere. Where the Earth is concerned , all the meridians and the Equator are Great Circles. The Plane of a 'Great Circles ' 'cut' the sphere into two equally sized hemispheres. NB Other than the Equator all the latitudes are NOT great Circles.
