What do lines of latitude on a map measure?
No, it measures degrees. Longitude can measure time, but not from the equator but from the prime meridian
Lines of latitude measure the distance north and south of the?
Lines of latitude measure the distance north and south of the equator, which is the imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The equator is located at 0 degrees latitude.
What is another name for latitude lines?
Another name for latitude lines is parallels. These lines run parallel to the equator and are used to measure how far north or south a location is from the equator.
What is measure how far the equator a place is?
Its latitude.
Is latitude form north and south?
Lines of latitude run east-west and measure north-south.
What are imaginary lines that run east and west?
The imaginary lines that run east and west are called lines of latitude or parallels. They are used to measure how far north or south a location is from the equator, which is the line of 0 degrees latitude.
What lines run north and south but are measured by how far a specific location is from the equator?
lines of longitude
What are the lines that run east and west along the service of the earth they measure how far a place it's from the equator?
Lines of Latitude run parallel to the Equator (zero latitude). Lines of Longitude run from the North and South Poles, with the Prime Meridian (zero longitude) passing through the Greenwich Observatory, London, England.
What direction does lines of latitude or parallels measure ditances?
The lines don't measure anything, any more than the marks on a ruler do any measuring for you. Latitude is an angle on the Earth's surface. It's the angle, measured north or south, from the equator to whatever location you want to talk about. On a map or globe, there may be some lines printed along the way, to help estimate the angle.
The measure of how far north or south a place is from the equator is called?
Declination
What does latitude on map measure?
how far north or south a point is from the equator....
What is Lines that's run east and west measure how far north or south of the equator you are?
They are Lines of Latitude (sometimes known as Parallels of Latitude). The Equator (zero latitude) horizontally encircles the Earth and separates the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. Moving northwards from the Equator, the lines of Latitude increase in degrees. Moving South from the Equator, the lines of Latitude also increase in degrees the same as for the northern direction. The latitude of the North Pole is 90 degrees North, and the latitude of the South Pole is 90 degrees South.
