What are the parallels halfway between the equator and the poles?
The latitudes half way between the equator and poles are at 60 N & S At these latitudes the circumference is half of that at the equator. The Earth's circumference at the Equator is approx. 24,000 miles. At latitudes 60 N & S the circumference is 12,000 miles. At the poles N & S, latitude 90 N & S, the circumference is '0' (zero) ; a dot point. Taking an angular value for half way at 45 o N & S , the circumference is approximately 17,000 miles.
What is a half a pyramid called?
It is called a frustum.
The amount of time it takes for half of the radioisotopes in a sample to decay into their stable end products is called?
The half-life
Why are the semilunar valves called semilunar valves?
semilunar valves are called semilunar because they look like half a moon. If something is not full in biology it is called 'semi' and lunar means the moon. So basicaly its called that because the valve looks like a half moon.
What is another name for a line is longitude?
A line of longitude may also be known as a meridian.Meridians (lines of Longitude) are great circles that go round the Earth through the North and South Poles. So they represent one-half of a polar circumference of the planet.The Prime Meridian runs through England (Greenwich) and is 0 degrees longitude.
What is the line of latitude called that is located at 23 and one half degrees south?
tropic of capricorn
How many degrees of longitude are between north and south pole?
The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles. There are 180 degrees of latitude between the North and South Poles, and 90 degrees of latitude between each pole and the Equator.
What is the latitude situated at 23 and a half degrees north latitude is called?
The Tropic of Cancer.
What are all the land and water on earth situated between 23 and one half degrees north latitude and 23 and one half degrees south latitude called?
the Tropic Zone
Which line of latitude is located at 66 and a half degrees south?
That would be the 66.5° S parallel.
What line of latitude called that is located at 23and a half degrees s?
That's approximately the latitude of the Tropic of Capricorn, which is actually 23 degrees 26 minutes.
How many degrees of latitude are there on the earth?
180, all the way from -90 at the south pole to +90 at the north pole.
How many degree of latitude are between the north and south poles?
The north pole is 90 degrees north latitude. The south pole is 90 degrees south latitude. When you travel from one pole to the other, you go through 180 degrees of latitude. Which isn't so surprising, since that trip takes you halfway around the world.
How many degrees are between the north amd south poles?
90. The whole sphere (pole to pole to pole) is 360.
Which tropical latitude is between the arctic circle and the equator?
The "tropical latitudes" are the latitudes within 23.5 degrees of the equator, both north and south of it. The half of the "tropics" between the equator and the Arctic Circle is the half between the equator and 23.5 degrees north latitude. The line at 23.5 degrees north latitude that marks the northern boundary of the tropics is the "Tropic of Cancer".
How many one degree latitude are there in the northern half of the globe?
There are 90 degrees of latitude in each half of the globe.
Where is153 degrees latitude an 153 longitude?
That place is an enigma, wrapped in a mystery and signifying nothing. -- Longitude needs to be noted as either 'east' or 'west', otherwise it's not clear which half of the Earth it refers to. -- Latitude needs to be written as either 'north' or 'south', otherwise it's not clear which half of the Earth it refers to. -- No place on Earth has latitude greater than 90 degrees, either north or south.
