The Arctic Circle.
The Arctic Circle.
You are probably thinking of the arctic circle, which is at about 66 degrees north latitude.
As near as I can make out on the satellite imagery available to me, the northernmostpoint of Iceland appears to be at latitude 66.53779° North. Accordingly, I would supposethat the next more northerly line of latitude passes just north of Iceland.Deciding just what latitude that is, however, is a problem. The question is a lot likeasking: "What height is the next height just taller than Queen Elizabeth ?"No matter what latitude you name that's north of 66.53779°, no matter how close it is,I can always name one that's closer than yours is, but still north of 66.53779°.Some maps and globes have many lines printed on them, some have only a few,and some have none at all. Whatever they decide to print on their map or globe,don't get the idea that those are the only official lines and there are no more.There is no finite official set of 'lines'. You can draw a 'line' on your map at anylatitude you like, and it's every bit as good as a line drawn at any other latitude.
250N Latitude passes just south of Brownsville TX in Mexico,) and through south Florida slightly north of Key West.
The 10S parallel of latitude passes through Africa and South America. It just misses the northern tip of Australia.
Indiana extends from (just south of) 38 degrees north to (just south of) 42 degrees north. The full degree latitude closest to the midpoint is 40 degrees north.
The northern edge of the island of Hispaniola is at 19 degrees 55 minutes north.
Ah, the line of latitude that passes through Yumen is the Tropic of Cancer. It's a special line that marks the northernmost point where the sun can be directly overhead. Just imagine the beautiful landscapes and warm sunshine that this line brings to the world, happy little accidents waiting to happen.
The south end of Runway-01 at Reykjavíkurflugvöllur ... the domestic airport about 2 km from the center of Reykjavik, Iceland's capital ... is located at 64.12268° north latitude 21.93635° west longitude.
The southernmost point of Trinidad, about 3.7 miles southwest of Fullarton, appears to be at latitude 10.0424° North. Any parallel of latitude less than that passes south of Trinidad. You may be referring to the parallel of 10° north, only because the globe or map you're looking at decided to print a line there. But there's no standard set of 'lines'. You would never ask "What mark on the ruler is just below your height ?" Different rulers print different numbers of marks, and use different spacings between their marks. Just like different maps and globes do.
Singapore is located near the equator, specifically at approximately 1.3521° N latitude. This places it just north of the equatorial line, contributing to its tropical climate with consistently warm temperatures and high humidity throughout the year.
It is an imaginary line just south of the Tropic Of Cancer. The line 22.5oN passes through Mexico and Cuba in the Western Hemisphere; passes through the Sahara Desert region of Africa; passes very near Calcutta in India, near Hong Kong in China, and near Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean.
