What is the main line of latitude called?
The main line of latitude is called parallel. These lines would include the equator, Tropic of Capricorn, Tropic of Cancer, Antarctic Circle and the Arctic Circle.
What is the imaginary great line or circle of 0 degrees latitude on the earths surface separating the northern hemisphere from the southern hemisphere?
The imaginary great line of 0 degrees latitude is called the Equator. It divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
What is a line latitude?
A line of latitude, also known as a parallel, is an imaginary horizontal line on the Earth's surface that specifies the location of a point north or south of the equator. The equator is 0 degrees latitude, and as you move towards the poles, the latitude increases. Lines of latitude are used to indicate how far north or south a location is on the Earth.
What is the line that goes between the Arctic Circle and the Equator?
The line that goes between the Arctic Circle and the Equator is the Tropic of Cancer, which is located at approximately 23.5 degrees north latitude. It marks the northernmost point where the sun is directly overhead at its zenith.
Which line of latitude is located at 0 degrees?
The line of latitude located at 0 degrees is the Equator. It divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
What is the only line of latitude that is the great circle?
The equator .
What line of latitude is a great circle?
The equator (zero latitude) is the only one.
Is the equator the only line of latitude that is a great circle?
Yes
When you move away from the equator where do meridians go?
Meridians converge at the poles and intersect the equator at 90 degrees. They are all great circle lines called lines of longitude. The equator is a line of latitude and the only line of latitude that is a great circle line. As you move away from the equator the lines of latitude describe smaller and smaller circles round the planet as you approach the poles.
Is the only line of latitude that is a Great Circle is the equator ture or false?
That question is a ture statement. whew
Is the Tropic of Cancer a great circle?
No; neither of the tropics is a great circle. The only line of latitude that is a great circle is the equator. The arctic and antarctic circles are not great circles, either.
What is the great circle at 0 degrees latitude known by?
The great circle at 0 degrees latitude is known as the Equator. It is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
What is another word for the longest line of latitude circling Earth?
The Equator is the longest circle of latitude
Why is there only one latitude line that can be a great circle?
The equator is a line of latitude that is a great circle. As you move in the direction of either the north pole or the south pole, away from the equator, you are then drawing a circle around only a fraction of the planet, rather than the full circumference. The lines of latitude get progressively smaller, until at the poles they collapse into mere points.
What are the circle line parallel to the equator called?
lines of latitude
The equator is at 0 degrees what?
The equator is at 0 degrees latitude, which means it is the line that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. It is the widest part of Earth's surface, and the only line of latitude that is a great circle.
The line of latitude that is about 66.5 degrees north of the equator is called the?
Arctic Circle
