What is the invisible line through south America?
The named lines of latitude that run through South America are:- the Equator in northern South America- the Tropic of Capricorn in southern South America---Assuming you are referring to lines of latitude and longitude, there are an infinite number of imaginary lines that are used to divide and identify the entire surface of the earth. Some are called lines of latitude, or parallels as these lines run parallel to each other and the equator in an East and West direction. The others are called lines of longitude, or meridians, and they run north and south, converging at the poles. The two "primary" lines (or starting points, if you will) are called the Prime Meridian and the Equator. The Prime Meridian bisects the earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. It runs north and south through Greenwich, England at zero degrees of longitude and through the Pacific Ocean at 180 degrees of longitude. The Equator at zero degrees latitude bisects the earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere and runs around the middle of the earth. The Equator runs through South America and passes about 15 miles from the center of Quito, Ecuador.
Movie named after a country in Africa?

Lines of longitude that passes through south Africa?
-- Sweden ranges in longitude from 11° to 24.2° East. -- Greece ranges in longitude from 19.4° to 26.6° East. -- Zambia ranges in longitude from 22° to 33.7° East. So, any 'line' of longitude between 22° E and 24.2° E passes through all three of those countries. There are an infinite number of them.
What three named lines of latitude cross Africa?
equator prime meridian
What are the lines on a globe named?
they are called lines of LONGITUDE ( the vertical or up and down lines) and LATITUDE (the horizontal or side to side lines)
Can you list all the lines of latitude?
No. You will come across certain bodies of water on your way. You did say "Walk" and never said anything about just going across. It is possible if you do not get too old of age before you reach the end.
Do lines of latitude have names?
Lines of latitude do not have names within the conventional system of measuring latitude using degrees. Lines of latitude are commonly referred to by the numerical value of their angle from the equator, such as the Tropic of Cancer (23.5°N) and the Antarctic Circle (66.5°S), but they are not formally named like lines of longitude.
Why is latitude named as it is?
The medieval Latin word 'latitudo' has the meaning 'width' and the degrees of latitude are imagined lines running around the width of the Earth.
What are the lines of latitude or the parallels of latitude?
Lines of latitude are lines of latitude, also known as parallels. There are 90 separations by 1 degree between the equator and either pole. Only some of them are named : Equator - 0° latitude Tropic of Cancer - 23.5° N Tropic of Capricorn - 23.5° S Arctic Circle - 66.5° N Antarctic Circle - 66.5° S
What named lines of longitude is the sun over for the solstice to occur?
Either the Tropic of Cancer or the Tropic of Capricorn. BTW -- they're lines of latitude, not longitude.
What name of lines of longitude?
No "named" line of longitude crosses Australia. The Tropic of Capricorn (latitude) crosses Australia.
What are the two properties of lines of latitude?
Lines of latitude . . .-- are imaginary-- are invisible-- are invented by humans.-- They are all parallel to each other.-- Each line is composed of every point on Earth that has the same latitude.-- Each line goes completely around the Earth.-- The lines are labeled according to the latitude that each represents. The linethat represents zero latitude is the equator.-- Since the Earth's surface is spherical, latitude is an angle. It ranges from zero atthe equator to 90 degrees at the north and south poles.-- The length of any line of latitude depends on which latitude it represents, being approximately(40,075 kilometers / 24,900 miles) times (cosine of the latitude) .-- There is no set number of 'lines'. Different maps and globes display differentnumbers of lines. But a line can be made from any latitude that can be named,and there are an infinite number of those.
What are imaginary longitude lines called?
Lines of latitude are called parallels which run east-west as circles parallel to the equator. There are 5 named lines of latitude called the Arctic Circle, Tropic of Cancer, Equator, Tropic of Capricorn, and Antarctic Circle from North to South, respectively.On the other hand, lines of longitude are called meridians.
Calm regions known as the horse latitudes oar centered on 2 named lines of latitude What is the name of these 2 lines of latitude?
The two named lines of latitude that typically mark the horse latitudes are around 30 degrees north and 30 degrees south. These areas are characterized by high pressure systems and light winds, leading to calm conditions and minimal precipitation.
How is the space between two parallel lines of latitude divided?
Between any two parallels of latitude, you may draw as many more lines of latitudeas you feel you need on your map. There is no 'official' set of 'lines', and the truth isthat between any two latitudes you name, no matter how close together they are,an infinite number of other latitudes can be named.
