Latitude is the angle measured from the equator north or south to the
location of interest. A line formed by all the points on Earth that have the same
latitude forms a circle around the Earth parallel to the equator.
Longitude is the angle from the Prime Meridian measured east or west to the
location vof interest. A line formed by all the points on Earth that have the same
longitude forms a semi-circle between the north and south poles.
What else can I help you with?
Do latitude lines run horizontally around the earth?
No, latitude lines run parallel to the equator and measure distance north or south of the equator. They are horizontal on maps and globes but represent vertical north-south positions on the Earth's surface.
What direction do latitude line run?
Latitude lines run east-west around the Earth. They measure the distance north or south of the equator in degrees, with the equator itself being 0 degrees latitude.
What is another name for latitude?
Sometimes they will be called parallels. The middle is the equator (as you know.).
Is latitude up and down?
Lines of latitude circle the Earth in an east-west fashion. so no
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.
Were do latitude lines run?
Horizontally. Around the Earth
In which directions does a parrallel or line of latitude run?
Lines of latitude, or parallels, run horizontally around the Earth (east-to-west or west-to-east).
Do latitude lines run horizontally around the earth?
No, latitude lines run parallel to the equator and measure distance north or south of the equator. They are horizontal on maps and globes but represent vertical north-south positions on the Earth's surface.
Parallels run which directions?
Theoretically, parallels run horizontally around the Earth, parallel to the equator. They are used to measure latitude and are equidistant from each other.
What direction do latitude line run?
Latitude lines run east-west around the Earth. They measure the distance north or south of the equator in degrees, with the equator itself being 0 degrees latitude.
What it latitude?
the amount east and west lines of latitude run horizontally around the world (like the equator) yeah that's what it is.
What is another name for latitude?
Sometimes they will be called parallels. The middle is the equator (as you know.).
Is latitude up and down?
Lines of latitude circle the Earth in an east-west fashion. so no
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.
Where are the global latitude lines?
Lines of Latitude run horizontally round the World and parallel to the Equator.
Latitude lines run in which two directions?
North and South
Which of the above terms indicates imaginary parallel lines that circle the earth?
The term that indicates imaginary parallel lines that circle the Earth is "latitude." Latitude lines run horizontally around the globe, measuring the distance north or south of the Equator. These lines are used in geographic coordinate systems to help locate positions on the Earth's surface.
