All lines of longitude do that.
The reason they call the equator the great circle is because circles the whole earth in the middle.becase its the only line that runs in the centre of the earth and goes right arround . {nickstar}
I would guess South America and Africa because the equator goes through both of them.
Asia is north of many Oceanian islands and is near the equator. In fact, the equator goes right through it! ========== Of course you have to that Japan (part of Asia) is made up of several islands, that Russia has several islands that are north of the mainland and that there are Canadian islands that are further north than any Asian islands = plus all the other islands that are north of at least parts of Asia.
There are many imaginary lines circling the Earth. The Equator is one of them that circles the Earth round the middle, the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn are further north and south and the Arctic and Antarctic circles further north and south again.yea
The point at which the equator (0° latitude) and the Prime Meridian (0° longitude) intersect has no real significance, but it's in the Gulf of Guinea, about 380 miles (611 kilometers) south of Accra, Ghana and 670 miles (1078 km) west of the coast of Gabon.
The Arctic Circle is the circle formed by all points on Earth whose latitude is roughly66.5° North. It goes all the way around the Earth at this latitude, and there is apoint on it at every longitude.The Arctic Circle itself is a parallel of latitude, at about 66.5° North.There is a point on it at every longitude.
The three major climate zones that occur at certain latitudes are the Tropical Zone near the equator, the Temperate Zone between the Tropic of Cancer and the Arctic Circle in the Northern Hemisphere and the Tropic of Capricorn and the Antarctic Circle in the Southern Hemisphere, and the Polar Zone near the North and South Poles.
Russia
No, it goes round the middle of the Earth, not through the poles.
The one that goes around the fatest part of the glove - the Equator!
it goes home like you do . what the artic can't have a home like you ?
Part of Alaska lies above the Arctic Circle.
The Arctic Circle goes through a significant part of Russia, and also Europe since Russia is a part of Europe. In addition to Russia, the Arctic Circle is also present in Europe through Fennoscandia and Iceland.Yes. The Arctic Circle touches the European countries of Russia, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, and Denmark (Greenland) in addition to Canada and the United States.
Any "great circle" does that, but the one you're probably thinking of is the "equator".
Lines of latitude are any of the circles, called parallels, that are to the north or to the south of the equator and parallel to it. They are the lines on standard maps that go from east to west; right-left.It is an imaginary line around the Earth parallel to the equator.
The reason they call the equator the great circle is because circles the whole earth in the middle.becase its the only line that runs in the centre of the earth and goes right arround . {nickstar}
Do you mean, like, the Earth? The equator. If you mean the line going from side to side across the middle of a circle then... the diameter of a circle
