Latitudes are parallel lines around the earth, parallel with the equator and marking the same distance from the equator.
They are referred to as the angle made at the centre of the earth, from the equator to the point in question.
The poles are at ninety degrees from the equator, so the maximum angle for any parallel of latitude, is 90 degrees.
The equator is at zero.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Lines of the globe?
The lines on a globe refer to latitude and longitude lines that help locate points on Earth's surface. Latitude lines run east-west and measure a point's distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run north-south and measure a point's distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. These lines intersect at specific points to create a grid system used for navigation and mapping.
What are the lines that circle the earth parallel to the equator?
The lines that circle the Earth parallel to the equator are called latitude lines. They are measured in degrees north or south of the equator and help determine location and climate patterns on Earth.
Imaginary lines connecting places of the same latitude are known as?
Imaginary lines connecting places of the same latitude are known as parallels. These lines run parallel to the Equator and help in measuring distances on the Earth's surface horizontally.
What is the number of 1 degree latitude and longitude lines that can be drawn on a globe?
90 degrees north latitude and 90 degrees south latitude are the maximum values; they represent the exact locations of the pole. Zero degrees is the equator. 180 degrees longitude is the exact limit of longitude; it represents the originally defined location of the International Date Line, exactly opposite the Prime Meridian. Oh. On second reading (and some editing of the question) I finally grasped the question. Latitude: the equator is one. Then there is one to eighty nine in the north, and again in the south. 90 degrees north and south are points, not lines. That makes 179 lines of latitude. Then you have the Prime Meridian (one); and 179 degrees east, and again west. That's 359. Then there is 180 degrees which makes 360 lines of longitude. 179 plus 360 equals 539 lines total.
Where do find latitude on a map?
Not all maps show latitude and longitude. On those that do some have horizontal lines indicating where lines of latitude lie, and on the right and left margins of the map these lines will have the latitude they represent marked. Then on some maps the lines are missing but the notations in the margin show where the lined of latitude should be.
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.
Is Lines of latitude is parallel?
Lines of latitude run parallel to the Equator (which is zero latitude).
What lines are parallel to the equator?
lines of latitude
What are principal lines of latitude?

Do lines of latitude sometimes intersect?
No, lines of latitude do not intersect.
Are the lines of Capricorn and cancer lines of longitude or latitude?
latitude?
How are lines of latitude and lines of longitute alike?
lines of latitude and lines of longitude are the same because they just are.
Are the parallel lines on a globe called longitude or latitude lines?
Latitude.
How many lines of latitude are on the globe?
there are 36 lines of latitude respectively
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.
Which are used measure distances north or south of the equator?
lines of latitude
