What line of longitude is labeled 0 degrees and separates the Northern Hemisphere from the Southern Hemisphere?
The 0 degree line of latitude separates te northern and the southern hemispheres. It is called the Equator. Lines of latitude mark distances from equator to each respective pole. From 0 degrees latitude (the Equator), there are 90 degrees to each pole. Each degree of latitude is 60 nautical miles. 1 nautical mile is approximately 6,076 feet. So, 90degrees x 60nm/degree = 5,400 nautical miles from the Equator to a pole. This is a very rough calculation, because the Earth is not perfectly round. Be sure to remember, that a statute mile is 5,280 feet (rather than 6,076 feet). So, in terms of statute miles, the Earth's circumference is closer to 25,000 miles. Air and land navigation typically uses nautical miles or distance measurement. Speed is in nautical miles per hour (called "knots"). Lines of latitude are parallel to each other, so the distance between them is the same no matter how far you are from the Equaor. But, lines of longitude (from north pole to south pole) are not parallel -- the distance between them is greatest at the equator (basically 1 nm apart), but the instant you move north or south the distance starts shrinking as the lines of longitutde merge te closer you get to the poles.
What parallel of latitude divides much of Canada from US?
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.
What is the border between Canada and the US officially known as?
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 also forms part of the border between Canada and the US along the northern boundaries of the states of New York, Vermont and New Hampshire.
What East Coast state is parallel with San Francisco in latitude?
richmond, virginia
What is the Southern Border of Canada?
the northern sea board=================Saskatchewan is a landlocked province. It does not have any "sea board."To the west, Saskatchewan is bordered by Alberta, to the north by Northwest Territories, to the east by Manitoba, and to the south by portions of the US states of Montana and North Dakota.Saskatchewan's southern border is the 49th parallel of latitude. Its northern border is the 60th parallel of latitude. Its western border is 110°W longitude (also known as the 4th meridian).From the 60th parallel, the eastern border of Saskatchewan follows the 2nd meridian (approximately 102°W) south approximately one-third of the distance to the 49th parallel. After that, it comprises a series of "steps" (called a "correction line") until it intersects the US border at 101°30'W.
Name the parallel of latitude that created the northern and southern hemispheres?

Is the equatator a parallel or a meridian?
The equator is the parallel of zero latitude.
Does a line of latitude or longitude divide the earth into the northern and southern hemisphere?
The equator divides the earth into northern and southern hemispheres. It it a line of latitude with the value of 0 degrees.
Is the equator a parallel or meridian?
The equator is a parallel because it is a line of latitude that circles the Earth horizontally, dividing it into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
What is the name of the parallel circling the globe at 0 degrees latitude?
The parallel circling the globe at 0 degrees latitude is called the Equator. It divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
