What are some lines of latitude?

Latitudes are parallel lines around the earth, parallel with the equator and marking the same distance from the equator. They are referred to as the angle made at the centre of the earth, from the equator to the point in question. The poles are at ninety degrees from the equator, so the maximum angle for any parallel of latitude, is 90 degrees. The equator is at zero.


What is the angle at which the sun's rays strike the surface of Earth in the tropics?

In the tropics, near the equator, the sun's rays strike the Earth's surface at nearly a 90-degree angle, resulting in more direct and concentrated sunlight. This is why these regions receive more solar energy and experience higher temperatures compared to regions farther from the equator.


How many miles in between the earth's longitudes?

It depends on what latitude you're on. At 90o latitude, there are 0 miles between them. At the Equator, there are slightly over 69 miles between the earth's longitudes per degree of arc.


What is 1 degree of the earth?

111.1111 km (69.0412 miles) The circumference of the Earth is 40 000 km at the great circle passing through Paris - old definition from the Metric System. So 1 degree of latitude (N-S) would be 40 000 / 360 = 111.1111. For 1 degree of longitude (E-W) would depend on how far North or South you are. At the equator 111.1111 km, at the poles 0 km.


What day does winter turn into spring?

Winter officially turns into spring on the vernal equinox, usually around March 20th or 21st in the Northern Hemisphere. This is when the sun crosses the celestial equator, marking equal hours of daylight and darkness.
