you know.. either both are equal..it is the line from the equator going to the north or south pole is 300,000 km . . . south and north are equal . . . its called OMANCIKZ LINE.. called the line of south and north...

∙ 6y agoThe lines which measure distances from either side of the equator to the poles are the Lines of Latitude. These lines lie parallel to the equator and measure from it, 0 degrees, to either pole, 90 degrees.

The angle on the Earth's surface between any place and the equator
is called the 'latitude' of the place.
Some maps and globes have some lines printed on them that show
a few latitudes.

How do you measure valve stem height?
With a Valve Spring Height Micrometer ----------------------------------------------------------------- If you don't have one of these tools you can also use what is called a snap gauge. Snap gauges are spring loaded and you can use it to measure the distance from the spring pad to the bottom of the retainer. Then you can measure the end to end distance of the snap gauge with either a dial caliper or a micrometer. Not as fast as the first solution but it is all we had for many years.
Do you find any difference in the distance between the longitudes from the equator to the poles?
Yes you do. One degree of longitude spans about 69 miles along the equator, but no distance at all at the poles. The longitudes are evenly distributed around the globe, but they all converge (meet) at both poles. So it's easy to understand why they must draw closer and closer together as you move from the equator to either pole.
Which one is hotter the Equator or the Poles?
On our Earth, the Equator is comparatively warmer than either of the Poles.
What do Parallel measure?
Latitude,the angular distance from the equator toward either pole.
Which are used measure distances north or south of the equator?
lines of latitude
What line measurs distance from either of the equator to the poles?
Latitude lines
What lines measure the distances from either side of equator to the poles?
Latitude lines
What lines measure diatances from either side of the equator to the poles?
Lines of Latitude, i think:)
How do you take difference of latitude?
Latitude is your distance or angular measurement from the equator. Either north or south. Without using a GPS system the best way is to measure the angle of the sun above the horizon at local noon.
Measures distance north and south of the equator?
The North Pole is at 90 degrees north latitude, and the South Pole is at 90 degrees south latitude. So, distance north or south of the equator is called 'latitude'. One way to remember this is to think of the rungs of a ladder. "Ladder"-- "Lati-" you step up or down the 'rungs of ladder-tude'.
How do you write the distance between points a and b?
If you know the coordinates either measure it or use the distance formula

What the Distance north or south of the equator?
Latitude measures North or South of the Equator in degrees. 0° is the Equator, and 90° N (or +90°) is the North Pole, and 90° S (or -90°) is the South Pole. Each degree of latitude is about 69 miles (or 60 Nautical Miles). Longitude lines (which run north and south, but measure east/west) get closer together as you approach either pole.
How do the latitude and longitudes help you locate the exact places?
Latitude - is the distance from the equator (either north or south). Longitude - is the distance from the Prime Meridian in Greenwich, England (either east or west). Using these values you can pinpoint your position anywhere on Earth.
