Such a circle would describe two lines of longitude. The pole intersects the circle in two places forming two separate arcs; each arc is a line of longitude. The plane containing the circle also divides the earth into two hemispheres.
The imaginary line drawn through the center of the Earth around which Earth rotates is called the axis. This axis is tilted at an angle of approximately 23.5 degrees relative to the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun, which causes the changing of seasons.
[muh-rid-ee-uhn] -noun a great circle of the earth passing through the poles and any given point on the earth's surface. b. the half of such a circle included between the poles.
The celestial equator is an imaginary circle created by extending Earth's equator into space. Zenith is an imaginary point in the sky directly above and observer on earth.
The straight line between the poles is the Earth's axis of rotation. The curved lines between the poles and along the surface are the meridians of longitude.
The imaginary line that circles the Earth is called the Equator. It divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
The imaginary line through Earth's poles is called the axis. It is an imaginary line that Earth rotates around.
They are drawn on the earth as imaginary lines that run from east to west.
The imaginary circle on Earth where the South Pole starts is called the Antarctic Circle. It marks the southernmost latitude where the sun does not set on the summer solstice and does not rise on the winter solstice.
This line is the equator.
The equator and the lines of longitude.
They are both imaginary lines which circle the earth!
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.
