lines of latitude
The other name that is used for lines latitude is parallels. The main latitude is the equator which is at zero degrees.
Some maps and globes have no lines printed on them at all, for longitude or latitude.There is no official standard for those that do, but most of the ones I've seen havehad the lines of the coordinate grid printed in black.
Lines parallel to the equator.
"parallels" of latitude
Earth's parallels are called lines of latitude. They are imaginary lines that run parallel to the equator and are used to measure the distance north or south of the equator in degrees.
Lines of latitude are imaginary lines used to measure distances north and south of the Equator or 0 degrees.
They are lines of latitude.
The imaginary lines that run east and west are called lines of latitude or parallels. They are used to measure how far north or south a location is from the equator, which is the line of 0 degrees latitude.
The lines that intercept latitude lines are lines of longitude.
It's the lines of longitude which are used to define time zones, not lattitude.
Yes, lines of latitude and longitude are used to determine specific locations on the Earth's surface. Lines of latitude run east-west and are used to measure how far north or south a location is from the equator. Lines of longitude run north-south and measure how far east or west a location is from the Prime Meridian.
