What else can I help you with?
The distance around the earth at the equator is like what measurement ofa circle?
This comparable to the perimeter of a circle.
Why is the equator the only parallel that is a great circle?
The equator is the only parallel that is a great circle because it is centered on the Earth's axis of rotation. This means that it divides the Earth into two equal hemispheres and its circumference is the maximum possible for a circle on the Earth's surface. Other parallels are smaller circles and not great circles.
Does the equator circle the earth at its narrowest point?
No, the equator circles the earth at its widest point
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.
Does latitude run horizontally around the earth?
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.
Why is the equator the great circle?
It is a circle because, the earth is a circle, and the equator stretches all the way around the earth.
The distance around the earth at the equator is like what measurement ofa circle?
This comparable to the perimeter of a circle.
What name is given to half circle that continues around the earth?
The Equator is the line that separates the earth into two hemispheres
What is the name of the on a map that circle the middle of the earth?
equator
How many times did Columbus circle the earth?
he never fully circled around the equator of Earth
THE equator is the only line of latitude that is a great circle why?
The reason is because it is in the middle of the earth so it makes the biggest, most round circle, (around the Earth). it has the farthest to go around thus creating a perfectly round circle of latitude around Earth........................(i'm 13)
What is a word meaning an imaginary ling making a circle around the earth?
The Equator.
What is the definitions the equator?
An imaginary great circle around Earth, equidistant from the poles.
Why is the equator the only parallel that is a great circle?
The equator is the only parallel that is a great circle because it is centered on the Earth's axis of rotation. This means that it divides the Earth into two equal hemispheres and its circumference is the maximum possible for a circle on the Earth's surface. Other parallels are smaller circles and not great circles.
What was called an imaginary line that forms an east-west circle around the earth?
The equator runs around the center of the earth.
The prime meridian and the make a complete circle around the earth?
The Prime Meridian and the meridian of 180° longitude combine to forma great circle on the Earth. Each of them alone is a semi-circle.Every parallel of latitude also circles the Earth completely, but among those,only the equator is a great circle.
What is an imaginary line making a circle around the Earth?
You are referring to the Equator, which bisects the earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. It is located at 0 degrees latitude. In addition, there are innumerable lines of longitude that make complete circles around the earth, that run north and south.
