Is the equator a meridian or a parallel?
It is a parallel latitude Line it is the line that sepetates north and south
What are The parallel located Halfway between the north and south poles?
the Equator
What is distance north or south of the equator called?
The distance north or south of the equator is measured in degrees of latitude. For example, the equator is measured at 0 degrees; Sydney Australia lies 33.51 degrees south of the equator; Helsinki Finland lies 60 degrees north of the equator.
Is the Equator a parallel or a meridian?
The equator is a parallel. Meridians are imaginary semi-circles that connect the north and south poles. "Parallels" are imaginary full circles around the Earth, and every point on a parallel is the same distance from a pole. The equator is the longest parallel. Every point on it is equal distances from both the north and south poles. The latitude of the equator is zero, and all other latitudes are measured from it. A parallel
Is San Francisco south of the 40th parallel?
40 th parallel = circle af latitude 40 degrees north of equator ? Yes it is, it is 37.76 degrees north of the equator

What lines run parallel through the equator?
The only line that runs parallel through the equator is THE EQUATOR. [The Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn are parallel to the equator, but are north and south of it (respectively) at 23.5 degrees. So they do not run through the equator.] The lines of longitude all run through the equator, but they are not parallel to each other since they all meet up at both the North and South Poles.
What is distance north or south of the equator called?

Which line measure distance north or south of the equator are also called parallels?
Latitude is the angle that describes the location of a place north or southof the equator. All lines of constant latitude are parallel.
Is San Francisco south of the 40th parallel?
40 th parallel = circle af latitude 40 degrees north of equator ? Yes it is, it is 37.76 degrees north of the equator
What are south and north latitudes?
There isn't much difference between the terms when the they are applied to maps. When an x-y co-ordinate system is overlaid onto a map with the x axis on the equator, the north latitudes, those lines parallel to the equator and which are drawn around the globe above it, or north of it, can be called northings instead of north latitudes. Got a link posted.
What lines measure the distance north and south of the equator?
Lines of latitude. Longitude is from Pole to Pole.
How do parallels differ from latitude?
A parallel is any circle that runs east and west around earth and that is parallel to the equator, latitude is the angular distance north and south from the equator. A parallel is a latitude, however they have different meanings. ! -ANA
What is a a line of latitude called?
90 degrees. That far north of the equator brings you to the north pole, while that far south of the equator brings you to . . . . . wait for it . . . . . you guessed it . . . . . the south pole.
Is the equator parellel or a meridian?
The equator is located at 0 degrees latitude making it a parallel. Distances north and south of the equator are measured from this point.
