It's the arctic circle. (the other one is the antarctic circle)
They're 23 degrees away from the poles, 'cause that the angle of tilt on the Earth.

How are latitude and climate related?
latitude is one of the four factors that affect climate. lines of latitude may be farther or closer to the equator, which determines the climate. for example, if the lines of latitude are farther from the equator, the climate will be colder than if the latitude is closer to the equator.
All lines of latitude meet at what line?
Lines of constant latitude are parallel. No two of them meet anywhere.All lines of constant latitude cross all lines of constant longitude.
Which are used measure distances north or south of the equator?
lines of latitude
Lines running parallel to the equator are called?
You have answered the question for yourself ; They are 'Latitudes''. Longitudes (Meridians) are lines that run North to South from the North Pole to the South Pole. Longitudes come to a point at the poles, but spread out to a maximum at the Equator.
What are the east west lines called on maps and globes?
They represent degrees of latitude.
Which latitude lines mark the summer and winter solstices?
The Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.

Why is a power line more likely to break in winter than in Summer even if it is loaded with the same weight?
Heat in the summer makes materials expand which make power lines somewhat elastic. During the cold months of winter the power lines contract. The difference of the reaction of the materials during seasons is why a power line is more likely to break in the winter than in the summer bearing the same weight.
Where do latitude lines meet?
Latitudinal lines never meet as the are circumference lines. However, Longitudinal lines meet at the North & South poles. Zero Longitude goes through Greenwich which is also where Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) comes from. GMT is British winter time as opposed to British Summer Time which is GMT +1 hour.
Which lines decide duration of day and night?
Every point along the same line of latitude has the same amount of time between sunrise and sunset at any given moment. That amount of time grows gradually shorter from the time of the summer solstice until the time of the winter solstice, and it grows gradually longer from the winter solstice until the summer solstice. Also, higher altitudes at the same latitude and longitude will see the sun slightly longer.
What are The lines that intercept latitude lines on a map Are lines of what?
The lines that intercept latitude lines are lines of longitude.
