East - West (or West - East depending on your point of view)
Lines of latitude are parallel to the equator, and that includes the Arctic and Antarctic Circles. The Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn are also parallel to the equator.See the link below
The North Tropic Sun line is the Tropic of Cancer. The Tropic of Cancer is a line of latitude circling the Earth at approximately 23.5 degrees North of the equator. It is the Northern boundary of the tropics.
The veritical lines that run across the earth are latitude. The horazontal line that runs across the earth is the equator.
Parallels would be 2 or more lines that run in the same direction and do not intersect.
Well one line of latitude is called the 'equator'.
The equator represents the zero degree line of latitude.
From left to right. Like the equator
Lines of latitude are parallel to the equator, and that includes the Arctic and Antarctic Circles. The Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn are also parallel to the equator.See the link below
Latitude lines run from east to west, parallel to the equator. Longitudinal lines are perpendicular to latitude lines and run north to south.
The equator is the dividing line between the northern and southern Hemispheres, and it completely crosses the entire eastern and western Hemispheres.
The only line that runs parallel through the equator is THE EQUATOR. [The Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn are parallel to the equator, but are north and south of it (respectively) at 23.5 degrees. So they do not run through the equator.] The lines of longitude all run through the equator, but they are not parallel to each other since they all meet up at both the North and South Poles.
The equator is an imaginary line.
The North Tropic Sun line is the Tropic of Cancer. The Tropic of Cancer is a line of latitude circling the Earth at approximately 23.5 degrees North of the equator. It is the Northern boundary of the tropics.
The veritical lines that run across the earth are latitude. The horazontal line that runs across the earth is the equator.
Parallels would be 2 or more lines that run in the same direction and do not intersect.
The equator itself is a 'line' of latitude. All others are parallel to it, and to each other. They don't run either way. They just stay put. They intersect other things, but they don't run over anything.
Well one line of latitude is called the 'equator'.
