Which is the longest geographical imaginary line on the globe?
The Equator is slightly bigger then any of the other imaginary lines.
What are the important parts of a globe?
The key parts of a globe include the equator, which divides the globe into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, the prime meridian, which divides the globe into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, and the latitude and longitude lines used for location coordinates. Other important parts include the continents, oceans, and countries represented on the globe.
What completely circles the globe?
There are many things which completely circle the globe. The first thing that comes to mind is the equator, but the artic and Antarctic circles also circle the globe (as well as every other degree of latitude). The taiga forest circles the globe. The atmosphere circles the globe.
Where is the nothern hemisphere?
It is the north half of the globe. That is where it is.
What is the imaginary line on the globe that goes from left to right?
Latitude lines are the ones which are parallel to each other, with 0º being the Equator Longitude are the ones which radiate out from the poles and which get wider as they approach the Equator. 0º runs through Greenwich, near London.
How is equator different from other latitude?
Every point on the equator is equal distances from the north and south poles. No other line of latitude can make that statement.
What is northern and southern hemisphere?
The Earth is divided into two halves known as the northern and southern hemispheres. The equator separates these two hemispheres, with the northern hemisphere located above the equator and the southern hemisphere located below it. Each hemisphere experiences different seasons due to the tilt of the Earth's axis.
Why are the equator and all lines of longitude called great circles?
The equator and all lines of longitude are called great circles because the represent the circumference of the earth. The other latitude lines along the globe are smaller then the actually circumference.
What is the name of the largest imaginary circle on the globe is it longitude or latitude?
The largest imaginary circle on the globe is the equator, which is a line of latitude. It divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres and is located at 0 degrees latitude. Longitudes, on the other hand, are lines that run from pole to pole and vary in length, being widest at the equator and converging at the poles.
Do all of the parallels and meridians cross each other at right angles on both the globe and the Mercator?
On a globe, parallels and meridians meet at right angles only at the equator and the poles. On a Mercator projection map, all meridians intersect the equator at right angles, while parallels intersect meridians at right angles throughout the map.
What do you call the parallel lines that circle the globe?
Lines of latitude encircle the Earth in an east-to-west direction, and are used in geography. They are called parallels and are parallel to each other and to the equator.
How is the artichoke different from the other vegetables in the garden?
In the Globe Artichoke the flower heads are the part eaten.
