What is the great circle at 0 degrees latitude known by?
The great circle at 0 degrees latitude is known as the Equator. It is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
The great circle at zero degrees latitude is known by what name?
The Equator
What is the imaginary great line or circle of 0 degrees latitude on the earths surface separating the northern hemisphere from the southern hemisphere?
The imaginary great line of 0 degrees latitude is called the Equator. It divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
Is Antarctic Circle a great circle?
The Antarctic Circle is a line of latitude -- about 66 degrees S -- beyond which the geography experiences at least one 24-hour period of no sunrise/ sunset per year.
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.
What line of latitude is a great circle?
The equator (zero latitude) is the only one.
What is the only line of latitude that is the great circle?
The equator .
When you move away from the equator where do meridians go?
Meridians converge at the poles and intersect the equator at 90 degrees. They are all great circle lines called lines of longitude. The equator is a line of latitude and the only line of latitude that is a great circle line. As you move away from the equator the lines of latitude describe smaller and smaller circles round the planet as you approach the poles.
The equator is at 0 degrees what?
The equator is at 0 degrees latitude, which means it is the line that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. It is the widest part of Earth's surface, and the only line of latitude that is a great circle.
Is the Tropic of Cancer a great circle?
No; neither of the tropics is a great circle. The only line of latitude that is a great circle is the equator. The arctic and antarctic circles are not great circles, either.
Is the equator the only line of latitude that is a great circle?
Yes
Does 90 degree west and 90 degree east form a great circle?
No. You have to cross 360 degrees of meridian for a great circle, so 180 degrees East plus 180 degrees West around the equator will form a great circle.
