What are earth's parallels called?
Earth's parallels are called lines of latitude. They are imaginary lines that run parallel to the equator and are used to measure the distance north or south of the equator in degrees.
What is another name for latitude?
Sometimes they will be called parallels. The middle is the equator (as you know.).
What are lines of latituide called?
Lines of latitude are also called parallels because they run parallel to the equator. They measure the distance north or south of the equator and are expressed in degrees.
Why are Lines of latitude are sometimes called parallels because they never?
Lines of latitude are called parallels because they run parallel to the equator and never intersect each other. They are always equidistant apart and are used to measure distance from the equator in degrees north or south.
Lines of latitude are also called what?
Parallels and meridians. Circles parallel to the Equator (lines running east and west) are parallels of latitude. They are used to measure degrees of latitude north or south of the Equator. Meridians of longitude are drawn from the North Pole to the South Pole and are at right angles to the Equator.
What is also known as parallels?
Parallels are also called lines of constant latitude, on maps and globes.
What are the imaginary lines on a map that measure distance from the equator?
The imaginary lines on a map that measure distance from the equator are called latitude lines, or parallels. They run horizontally around the Earth and are expressed in degrees, with the equator at 0 degrees latitude. As you move toward the poles, the latitude increases, reaching 90 degrees at the North and South Poles. These lines help in determining locations and understanding climate zones.
What is used to measure the distance north or south of the equator?
It is called latitude.
Do parallel liines lie on the same plane?
They usually do. But latitudes, which measure distances from the equator and which, on earth, are called the parallels of latitude, do not lie in a plane.
What is the east west lines on a map that show distance from the equator?
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.
What is another way to say latitude?
Lines of latitude are also called parallels.
What are the lines north are south of the equator called?
"parallels" of latitude
