How many lines of latitude are there when drawn at interval of 1 degree each?

If drawn on a globe at intervals of one degree, there would be 178 lines and two points.


How many parallels and meridians can be drawn on an globe at an interval of 10 degrees?

On a globe, there are 18 parallels (lines of latitude) that can be drawn at 10-degree intervals from the equator at 0° up to the poles at 90° north and 90° south. For meridians (lines of longitude), there are 36 that can be drawn at 10-degree intervals, ranging from 0° to 360°. Thus, in total, there are 54 lines (18 parallels and 36 meridians) on the globe at 10-degree intervals.


What are two lines called running east and west around earth?

Are you referring to lines of latitude? First, there are no actual "lines" on the surface of the Earth; the lines are virtual, in that they don't really exist. Second, we can create as many different lines of latitude as we want. We usually measure them in segments called "minutes" of latitude, but we can subdivide these as finely as we like. From the equator, there are 90 degrees north and 90 degrees south; each degree is subdivided into 60 minutes. On a globe, the lines of latitude are generally printed each 10 or 15 degrees, but that depends on the scale of the globe.


What is one of many lines on the global grid that circle the earth north or south of the equator used to measure degrees of latitude?

Degrees of latitude run east and west around the globe. They are also called parallels of latitude.


How many minutes are between laTitude lines?

As many or as few as you want. There is no 'standard' set of "lines". If you give me two lines of latitude that are only 1 minute apart, I can draw another line between them, spaced only 1/2 minute from each of yours.

Why are there so many lines on the globe?

There are many lines of latitude and longitude because they allow the user to locate a specific spot easier with a set of coordinates.


Parts of the globe?

There are two different types of lines: lines of latitude and lines of longitude (also called meridians). The lines of latitude go around the globe horizontally. The center line is the Equator. Lines of longitude go around the globe vertically. The center one is called the Prime Meridian. These different lines together form a grid on a globe that's used to find locations of Earth's surface. The Equator and the Prime Meridian also divide the Earth into Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western hemispheres.


Into how many degrees is the globe divided?

The globe is divided into 360 degrees of longitude and 180 degrees of latitude. Longitude lines run from the North Pole to the South Pole, while latitude lines run parallel to the equator. Together, these divisions help in navigating and identifying locations on Earth.


What is one of many lines on the global grid that circle the earth north or south of the equator used to measure degrees of latitude?

Degrees of latitude run east and west around the globe. They are also called parallels of latitude.


What completely circles the globe?

There are many things which completely circle the globe. The first thing that comes to mind is the equator, but the artic and Antarctic circles also circle the globe (as well as every other degree of latitude). The taiga forest circles the globe. The atmosphere circles the globe.
