There are 2 major lines of latitude located north of the equator. The Tropic of Cancer is located at 23.5 degrees north latitude while the Arctic Circle is located at 66.5 degrees north latitude.
The lines on a map that show distance from the equator in an east-west direction are called latitude lines. They are also known as parallels and run parallel to the equator. The equator itself is located at 0 degrees latitude.
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.
The lines of 10°N latitude and 0° longitude cross in the country of Ghana, located in West Africa.
The lines that intercept latitude lines are lines of longitude.
The equator is located at 0 degrees latitude. The angle of latitude starts at 0 at the equator and ends with +90 and -90 degrees at the North and South poles, respectively. Lines of latitude are parallel to each other.
