Where is the equator labeled on the line of latitude?
The equator is located at 0 degrees latitude and is labeled as such on maps and globes. It is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
How the parallels are numbered?
Parallels are numbered using a system based on degrees of latitude, which measures the distance north or south of the Equator. The Equator is designated as 0 degrees, with the numbers increasing up to 90 degrees at the poles. Parallels are labeled in degrees, with the Northern Hemisphere marked as degrees north (N) and the Southern Hemisphere as degrees south (S). This standardized system allows for precise geographic referencing across the globe.
Which line of latitude is labeled 0 degrees and separates the Northern Hemisphere from the Southern Hemisphere?
The Equator is the imaginary line halfway between the North and South Poles and is at zero degrees latitude. It divides the Earth into North and South Hemispheres. The Sun appears directly above the Equator at the Autumn and Spring equinox. The Prime Meridian based on Greenwich, England, is at 0 degrees longitude and all other meridians are "X" degrees east or west of it. The Prime Meridian was established for navigation and is the basis on which International time is kept. The International Date line is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Prime Meridian and is the point which seperates yesterday from today. The line was drawn by international agreement, and was skillfully drawn so as not to cross any land to keep all areas of a country in the same day (and time zone). There are few bends and kinks in the International Date line to achieve this, but if it was a straight line, it would generally be at 180 degrees E or W longitude. The Prime Meridian and the International Date Line are the two lines that separate the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. The Tropic of Capricorn is at approximately 23 degrees 30 minutes S latitude and marks the point on the Earth's surface where the Sun is directly overhead at the southern Summer Solstice. It also marks the southernmost point of the Tropic Zone.
In what increments are degrees of latitude usually labelled?
That depends entirely on the scale of the map.On a globe or world map, you're lucky to get labels every 15 degrees.I'm looking at a map right now with labels every 5" (seconds), or 1/720th of a degree.
Do the the places on the map labeled as C indicate the locations of the westerlies?
Without seeing the specific map you are referring to, I cannot definitively say whether the locations labeled as C indicate the westerlies. However, the westerlies are typically found in the mid-latitudes, flowing from the southwest to the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the northwest to the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere. If the locations labeled as C fall within these regions, then they likely represent the westerlies.

Which line of latitude is labeled 0 degrees and separates the Eastern Hemisphere from the Western hemisphere?
There is no such mark The line of latitude labeled 0° is called the Equator, and forms the boundary between the northern and southern Hemispheres. The line of longitude labeled 0° is called the Prime Meridian. It's one of the two lines that separate the eastern and western Hemispheres.

Which line of longitude is labeled 0 degrees and separates the eastern hemisphere from the weatern hemisphere?
The Prime Meridian, located at 0 degrees longitude, separates the eastern hemisphere from the western hemisphere. It runs through Greenwich, London, and serves as the starting point for measuring longitude.

What line of latitude is at 66.5 degrees north?
That would be the parallel labeled "66.5° North" on maps or globes where 0.5° lines are printed. It's also the approximate latitude of the Arctic Circle.
What 2 cities are located on the line of latitude labeled 30 degrees north?
Two of them are Cairo, Egypt, and Kerrville, Texas. There are at least a thousand others.

What North American city is 22.53 degrees north latitude?
I can't find any labeled North American city, town, or village at that latitude. The nearest one is Jagüey Grande in central Cuba, at 22.525° North.
Why are the line of latitude labeled south?
tropic on cancer
What latitude line passes directly through the city of new Orleans louisians?
The city of Nawlins ranges in latitude from 29.91° to 30.08° North. Any 'line' of latitude within that range ... and an infinite number can be drawn ... passes through the city. If your map or globe has latitude 'lines' printed on it that are spaced 10 degrees, 15 degrees, or 30 degrees apart, then the one labeled " 30 " crosses the city. But you must not make the mistake of thinking that those are the only officially blessed lines that exist.
