The area between those is known as the tropics.
The south pole is 90 degrees south of the equator. The north pole is 90 degrees north of the equator.
The name of the region between 66.5 north and the equator is called the Northern Temperate Zone. The name of the region from the equator and 66.5 degrees south of the equator is called the Southern Temperate Zone.
The "north" and "south" latitude references begin at the equator. So "20 degrees" north or south are both 20 degrees from the equator, and "10 degrees" north or south are both 10 degrees from the equator. 10 is closer to the equator than 20.
The region located between 23.5 degrees north and south of the equator is known as the Tropics. This area includes the Tropic of Cancer at 23.5 degrees north and the Tropic of Capricorn at 23.5 degrees south. The Tropics have a warm climate and are characterized by a diversity of plant and animal species.
The region located between 23.5 degrees north and south of the equator is known as the Tropics. This area experiences high temperatures and receives direct sunlight throughout the year due to its position near the equator.
The distance north or south of the equator is measured in degrees of latitude. For example, the equator is measured at 0 degrees; Sydney Australia lies 33.51 degrees south of the equator; Helsinki Finland lies 60 degrees north of the equator.
The north and south poles (90 degrees north or south of the equator).
The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude.
Yes, parts of south India are near the equator but most of the region is situated slightly north of the equator. The southernmost point of mainland India, Kanyakumari, is approximately 8 degrees north of the equator.
Angular distance north or south of the equator is measured in degrees, with 0 degrees at the equator, 90 degrees at the North Pole, and -90 degrees at the South Pole. This measure is known as latitude and helps to indicate a location's position in terms of its distance from the equator along Earth's surface.
The tropics.
Twenty degrees north is warmer than forty degrees south because at twenty degrees north, the region is closer to the equator, where the sun's rays are more direct and intense. In contrast, at forty degrees south, the region is closer to the south pole where sunlight is more spread out and less intense, leading to cooler temperatures.
