The Equator,assigned at zero degree latitude.
It is a wavy line that separtes the east from the west
That is the earth axis
Yes. The earth is a sphere.
That's the Earth's "axis" of rotation.
Axis
You're talking about the Prime Meridian ... the imaginary line that defines the origin of longitude on Earth.But issue must be taken with your use of the terms "from" and "to". No meridian, including the Prime one, has a defined beginning or end point. They simply join the poles.
Type your answer here... equator
In the northern hemisphere the line is the arctic circle. North of this line the sun does not rise on December 21st each year with more days having the lack of sun the further north you go. The sun does not set on June 20/21st in the same region with more days with full sun the further north you go during the summer. In the southern hemisphere the line is the antarctic circle.The same event takes place just reverse of the regions in the northern hemisphere. ie more sun in the winter and less sun in the summer.
He thought that all earthly matter was drawn to the centre of the Earth through natural motion, so a sphere was the most natural shape. He noticed that the shadow of the Earth was curved during lunar eclipses, and he noticed that travelling significant distances North or South allowed you to see different stars.
As soon as it is drawn, there will be an ellipse. (I guess many ellipses are drawn every second somewhere on Earth).The next total eclipse of the Moon is on December 21 2010 (close to the winter equinox!)The next total eclipse of the Sun is on July 11 2010 visible from a narrow corridor arcing across the South Pacific
The prime meridian
Latitude is imaginary lines that measures distance north or south of the equator. Longitude is imaginary lines that measures distance east and west of a line drawn between the North and South Poles and passing through the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, England.
In the globe it is called the axis. In a sphere it is called the diameter.
A Meridian or Meridian Line is an imaginary line drawn between two points. In geography these two points are an imaginary arc on the earths surface from the North to the South Poles. In astronomy it is an imaginary circle in a perpendicular plane to those planes of the celestial equator and horizon.
They are imaginary lines drawn on spheres such as the earth, sun, moon, planets to simplify the location of points of interest.
No. The equator is an imaginary line drawn on the Earth's surface, all the way around, mid-way between the north and south poles.
Latitude lines are imaginary lines that run East to West but measure North to South on the Globe. I remember latitude is fatitude. Longitude lines go North to South but measure East to West. I remember it as LONGitude.
line of demarcation is an imaginary line running down the middle of the Atlantic from the North Pole to the south. Pope Alexander VI drew it in 1493
That would be the "International Date Line" which is skillfully drawn to avoid crossing any land mass.
The Axis
Meridians are lines of longitude that are drawn from the North to South poles.
