YES!
The way you remember which is which ... Longitude has 'Long' in it. Lines of longitude are always the same length because they circle the Earth from Pole to Pole, the LONG way around.
Lines of Latitude on the other hand, circle the Earth getting progressively shorter the further North or South of the Equator they are.
What else can I help you with?
How do lines of latitude run in relation to the equator?
Lines of latitude circle the earth, parallel to the equator.
What are the imaginary lines that circle east and west around the earth?
The equator, or line of zero latitude, runs around the Earth at its widest point.
What are the imaginary parallel lines numbered in degrees around the north and south of the equator?
The imaginary parallel lines numbered in degrees around the north and south of the equator are called lines of latitude. The lines of latitude run east-west and are measured in degrees from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles. They help in determining the location of a place on Earth's surface.
What are the four main lines of latitude?
Well there's the Arctic Circle, Antarctic Circle, Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn and the Equator.
The equator is an imaginary circle drawn around the earth that divides it into northern and southern hemispheres What are the imaginary lines called that are parallel to the equator?
false
How do lines of latitude run in relation to the equator?
Lines of latitude circle the earth, parallel to the equator.
What are the lines that circle the earth parallel to the equator?
The lines that circle the Earth parallel to the equator are called latitude lines. They are measured in degrees north or south of the equator and help determine location and climate patterns on Earth.
What are the lines that circle the earth called?
I think its called the equator.
Lines of latitude that circle the earth in the same direction as the equator?
Yes. Lines of latitude run east-west. They are a measurement north or south of the equator.
What are the imaginary lines that circle east and west around the earth?
The equator, or line of zero latitude, runs around the Earth at its widest point.
What are the imaginary parallel lines numbered in degrees around the north and south of the equator?
The imaginary parallel lines numbered in degrees around the north and south of the equator are called lines of latitude. The lines of latitude run east-west and are measured in degrees from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles. They help in determining the location of a place on Earth's surface.
What are the four main lines of latitude?
Well there's the Arctic Circle, Antarctic Circle, Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn and the Equator.
Do lines of latitude sometimes intersect explain?
Lines of latitude encircle the earth, with the Great Circle being the Equator. Each line of latitude is parallel to each other, so will never intersect.
The equator is an imaginary circle drawn around the earth that divides it into northern and southern hemispheres What are the imaginary lines called that are parallel to the equator?
false
What term indicate imaginary parallel lines that circle the earth?
The term that indicates imaginary parallel lines that circle the Earth is "latitude." Latitude lines, also known as parallels, run horizontally around the globe and are measured in degrees north or south of the Equator, which is at 0 degrees latitude. These lines help in identifying locations and navigating the Earth's surface.
What are the circle line parallel to the equator called?
lines of latitude
Are the lines of longitude all the same length?
no they are notThe lines of latitude run East/West. Each line forms a circle around the earth. The equator is at latitude zero degrees, and it encircles the earth. As we travel further and further North the earth, being a globe shape, gets narrower and narrower the further North we go. So all the circles get smaller and smaller as we move from the equator to the North. The lines of latitude are parallel to each other.Montreal, in Canada, is about 45o latitude, that is, halfway between the equator and the North pole, so a horizontal circle at that point would be smaller than the circle of latitude at the equator.At 80o North, the circle of latitude at that angle from the equator is just a small circle around the North pole. At 890 degrees North it is nearly at the North pole and the circle is very small. The North pole itself is at a latitude (angle) of 900, and there is no circle at all! It's smaller than a dot!The lines of longitude run from the North pole to the South pole. All the lines run from the top of the earth to the bottom of the earth. The lines converge at the poles, and are widest at the equator. Unlike the lines of latitude, all lines of longitude are the same length.For more information, see 'Related Links' below.
