The 49th parallel of latitude forms the border between Canada and the US from Lake of the Woods to the Georgia Strait.

The 45th parallel of latitude (with slight deviations) also forms part of the border between Canada and the US, along the northern boundaries of the states of New York and Vermont.

Do Lines of Longitude run parallel to each other?

Latitude lines run parallel to the Equator while longitudinal lines (also called meridians) run north-south. The latitude angle ranges from 0 degrees at the Equator to 90 degrees at either the north or south pole.


How close is 49 parallel to a state?

The 49th parallel north is a significant latitude line that serves as a boundary between the United States and Canada for much of its length. It runs approximately along the northern border of states such as Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, and Minnesota. In some areas, the parallel is only a few miles south of the Canadian border, while in others, it can be several miles away due to the curvature of the Earth and local geography.


Is the Equator a parallel line?

Meridians are imaginary semi-circles that connect the north and south poles. Parallels are imaginary full circles around the Earth, and every point on a parallel is the same distance from a pole. The equator is the longest parallel. Every point on it is equal distances from both the north and south poles. The latitude of the equator is zero, and all other latitudes are measured from it.


What is the longitude and latitude of gulf of st Lawrence in Canada?

That's very much like asking "What is the exact spelling of the name of the person who watched the World Cup final on TV ?". Every point on earth has a different latitude and longitude. How many points do you think there are in Canada ? Canada subtends all latitudes between roughly 41.7° and 83.1° North, and all longitudes between roughly 52.6° and 141° West. Every latitude or longitude you choose within those ranges crosses territory in Canada.


What parallel of latitude runs through northern tip of Venezuela and Colombia?

A parallel of latitude can be drawn at ANY latitude on a map or globe. There's no standard set of some limited number of them. The northernmost point in Colombia appears to be Punta Gallinas at 12.4584° North latitude. The northernmost point in Venezuela is the tip of the Paraguaná Peninsula, near Cabo San Román, north of Curimagua, Coro and Punto Fijo, at 12.1968° North latitude. Any parallel of latitude that's no farther north than 12.1968° North runs through both Venezuela and Columbia. (This contributor is happy to have researched the question. When I worked in Curimagua and slept in Coro, and all these years since then, I always thought I was much farther up on the Paraguaná. It's nice to finally see where I really was at the time.)

Does Louisiana lie 40 degrees latitude?

No, Louisiana does not lie at 40 degrees latitude. The state is located between approximately 28 to 33 degrees north latitude. This places it much further south than 40 degrees north, which is closer to the northern United States and parts of Canada.
