What line that goes from one side of the circle to the other?
In geometry it is called the "Great Circle".
What is the distance around a great circle called?
The circumference.
What is the great circle on the sky midway between the celestial poles is called?
The horizon is the great circle on the sky midway between the celestial poles.
Why is the equator called the great circles?
The reason they call the equator the great circle is because circles the whole earth in the middle.becase its the only line that runs in the centre of the earth and goes right arround . {nickstar}
A line in riemann's sperical geometry is called a?
A line in Riemann's spherical geometry is called a great circle, which is the intersection of a sphere with a plane passing through its center. Great circles are the equivalent of straight lines in this non-Euclidean geometry.
A circle formed by two meridians directly across from each other on opposite sides of the globe is called what?
The Great Circle
What is the lagest circle you can draw on a globe?
It is called a great circle and the plane that circle makes must pass through the geometric center of the globe. The largest circle that can be drawn round the Earth is the great circle round its middle, the "equator" this is because the spinning of the earth makes it 'fatter' round the middle.
What is one half of the earth divided by the equator called?
The Line that divides the earth into two is called the great circle
Why diametrically opposite lines of longitude and equator are called great circles?
A 'great circle' is any circle on the surface of a sphere that has its center at the center of the sphere. The equator is the only parallel of latitude that's a great circle. Every meridian of constant longitude is a semi-circle, and together with the one directly opposite it, they form a great circle. The shortest distance between two points on a sphere is the piece of the great circle through them.
What Circle on Earth's surface has the center of Earth as its center?
Any circle on the Earth's surface whose center is at the center of the Earth is called a "great circle". Any circle with its center anywhere else is called a "small circle". Spiritually, many consider the kaaba (Mecca) to be the center of the Earth's surface.
What is a half circle called?
a hemisphere
What is an imaginary circle around the earth that divides the earth into two halves called?
The imaginary circle around the earth that divides it into two halves is called the Equator. It is located at 0 degrees latitude and serves as the starting point for measuring latitude.
