Of course. The further away from the equator, the smaller the circle..or distance. The largest distance is always the equator...as this is the largest circumferance.
from Newton.org....
"The circumference is given by 2 times pi times the radius, where pi is 3.14. The radius of the earth at the equator is about 6378 kilometers so the distance around the earth at the equator is 2 time 3.14 times 6378 which equals 40,074 kilometers. "

What is the size of the earth from north to south pole?
The Earth's diameter from the North Pole to the South Pole is approximately 12,714 kilometers.
How far away is it to Pennsylvania from Oklahoma?
I'm assuming you mean the distance between the parts of the states closest to each other, so using road distances from one capital city to another won't give as good of an answer. To get a better answer, I did the following: Using Mapquest, I zoomed in to the corners of these two states and right-clicked on them. It gave me the latitudes and longitudes of the corners, along with the names of the nearest cities. (Cameron, West Virginia is the closest city to the corner of Pennsylvania that this site came up with.) Then, I went to the Free map tools web site and entered both cities. This site gives you a distance "as the crow flies," as well as a distance by roads. The flying distance would be straight, and it came up with 794.112 miles and 1278.000 km. A more accurate way is to use the latitudes and longitudes given. (Using latitudes and longitudes takes out the nearest city error and gets you as close to the corner as your eye will let you.) I searched for an online site that uses inputs of latitudes and longitudes to compute distance and also takes into account the curvature of the earth, and it gave 1265 km, which is the equivalent of approximately 786 mi.
What is the distance around globe at the 45th parallel?
it would take about 8.66 months for me to walk, at a constant speed of 2.78 mph, the 17,600 mi around the earth at the 45th parallel
Why speed changes on earth rotation from latitude?
The circumference around the Earth at different latitudes varies, from 40,075 km at the equator, to 26,291 km at 49° latitude, to 0km at the axis of rotation (i.e. the North and South poles). Thus, as the Earth spins around it's axis, different latitudes will cover different distances within the same time frame. And since speed (and velocity) are calculated by dividing distance by time, the speed (and velocity) will therefore decrease as you approach the poles.
What factors determines different climatic zones on earth?
different latitudes result in different climate zones on earth!
What causes the the four seasons on Earth?
The Earth spins on its axis, and that axis is tilted with respect to the flat plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun. This causes the duration (day length) and intensity of sunlight to vary for given latitudes at different points in its orbit. This is NOT a function of the Earth's changing distance from the Sun, which only varies by about 3%. (see related question)
Why is the distance between the earth and moon given as an average?
the earth moves in a slight elipse around the sun so the distance is an average of the different radii of the elipse
What is the distance around the earth's equator in cm?
The distance around the Earth's equator is approximately 4,007,500,000cm.
What is Earth distance to the Earth?
Around 0 mm, but one should ask what is the earth's distance to the earth in the earth
What graph best shows the average annual amounts of precipitation received at different latitudes on earth?

Why are the stars different in the southern hemisphere?
From the ground you see a different area of the universe - the Earth is round, and from different latitudes in north and south you see a different perspective.
Which imaginary line divides the earth into northern and southern latitudes?
The Equator divides the earth into northern and southern latitudes.
How many latitudes lines are on earth?
The latitudes of places on Earth cover a range of 180 degrees ... from -90 at thesouth pole to +90 at the north pole.Within that range, there are an infinite number of different possible latitudes,just as there are an infinite number of possible lengths on a ruler, regardless ofhow many of them are marked on different rulers, maps, or globes. There is nostandard set of marks.
How many kilometers is an object from earth?
Different objects are at different distance from Earth.
What are the functions of imaginary lines in earth?
the latitudes and longitudes are used to indicate the location and extension of a country or continent.longitudes influence the time of a place and divides the earth into various time zones whereas latitudes influence the duration of day and night and divide the earth into different time zones
