The Tropic of Cancer is at approximately 23 degrees 30 minutes N latitude and marks the point on the Earth's surface where the Sun is directly overhead at the northern Summer Solstice. It also marks the northernmost point of the Tropic Zone. The Tropic of Capricorn is at approximately 23 degrees 30 minutes S latitude and marks the point on the Earth's surface where the Sun is directly overhead at the southern Summer Solstice. It also marks the southernmost point of the Tropic Zone.

What is the imaginairy line around the earth called?
the equator ========= There are many imaginary lines around the Earth. In fact, there are an infinite number of imaginary lines. The two main types of imaginary lines are parallels of latitude (of which the Equator is one) and meridians of longitude.
Imaginary lines connecting places of the same latitude are known as?
parallels
What are the different imaginary lines on globe?
Equator which seperates the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere
What creates climate zones?
The three climate zones (tropic, temperate, and polar) are separated vy imaginary lines on the Earth's surface (like the Equator). The tropic zone is in between the Tropic or Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, the temperate zone is in between the Tropic of Cancer and the Arctic Cirlce and between the Tropic or Capricon and the Antarctic Circle. The polar zone is the rest. I hope that made sense. ;)
A system of imaginary lines used to determine absolute location on the earth's surface is called the?
It's either Latitude & Longitude or the Prime Meridian
What two imaginary lines mark the tropical climate regions?
The two imaginary lines that mark the tropical climate regions are the Tropic of Cancer, located at approximately 23.5 degrees north of the equator, and the Tropic of Capricorn, located at approximately 23.5 degrees south of the equator. These lines define the boundaries of the tropical zone where the sun is directly overhead at least once a year.
How do latitudes affct the climate?
Latitude (lines of latitude) are imaginary lines circiling the Earth, the do not effect climate.
What is the influence of a latitude line on the climate?
Latitude lines are imaginary. They have no influence on climate.
What are the abdominal regions called created by drawing two imaginary lines intersecting at the navel?
The abdominal regions created by drawing two imaginary lines intersecting at the navel is called the abdominal quadrants. There are four quadrants in the abdomen, separated by two imaginary lines running horizontal and vertical intersections at the navel. There are nine regions in the abdomen that can be imagined by a tic-tac-toe grid on the abdomen with the center of the middle section being the navel.
What regions are characterized by tropical desert climates?
The most desert climate regions can be found lying between the 30 degree north and 30 degree south latitude lines. These areas are the closest to the equator and incur the hottest and driest conditions on Earth.
What are the imaginary lines that mark the end of the tropical?
(This may be incorrect, so don't hate) I think it is the horizontal line. Feel free to correct me!!
In what way can the imaginary lines on the globe help?
The imaginary lines on the globe helps because it divides the Northern Hemisphere from Southern Hemisphere. Therefore, imaginary lines are helpful.
What are lines of latitutde?
Latitude lines are imaginary lines that are parallel to the equator to fix a position on earth (along with longitude lines which are imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator)
Does Greece have a tropical climate?
No. Greece cannot qualify for being a tropical country because it lies north of the Tropic of Cancer and the sun is never even 80 degrees above the southern horizon. The two tropic lines mark the northern and southern extent at which the sun can be at it's zenith (directly overhead) at noon.
What are the imaginary lines perpenticular to the equator?
The imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator are called longitudinal lines or longitude. The lines parallel to the equator are called latitudinal lines or latitude. Yes. they are.
What are imaginary vertical lines called?
longitude lines?
What are the imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator called?
Longitudinal or longitude lines are the imaginary lines that are perpendicular to the equator. Latitudinal or latitude lines are parallel to the equator.
