Which line correspond to 0 latitude?
The line that corresponds to 0 latitude is the Equator. It is an imaginary line that circles the Earth halfway between the North and South Poles.
Latitude is measured north and south from the?
latitude runs north to south and longitude runs to east to west so dont get it mix up
What is the latitude of an observer at the equator?
Latitude is zero at every point on the equator.
Why does the equator represent zero degrees latitude?
I believe it dates back to when the North Star was used to find latitude by ancient sailors. Degrees latitude was found by the angle between the North Star and the horizon. Since the North Star sits on the horizon at the equator the angle is zero therefore latitude is zero degrees.
Do the circles formed by the lines of latitude get smaller as they get closer to the North and South Poles?
Yes, the circles formed by the lines of latitude get smaller as they get closer to the North and South Poles. This is because the lines of latitude are parallel to each other, so as they approach the poles, they shrink in size until they reach a point at the poles themselves.
What is an imaginary line of 0 latitude that circles the earth midway between North and South poles?
the Equator
Halfway between the north and south poles what circles the globe at 0 degrees?
The equator is a line of latitude that circles the Earth at 0 degrees. It is halfway between the North and South Poles, dividing the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
Which line correspond to 0 latitude?
The line that corresponds to 0 latitude is the Equator. It is an imaginary line that circles the Earth halfway between the North and South Poles.
Latitude is measured north and south from the?
latitude runs north to south and longitude runs to east to west so dont get it mix up
Is the line of latitude 20 degree north?
The equator is the line of zero latitude, and it circles the 'middle' of the earth. For every latitude number between zero and 90 degrees, there are two lines with the same number ... one north of the equator and one south of it.
What is the latitude of an observer at the equator?
Latitude is zero at every point on the equator.
Is the equator located at 0 longitude 0 latitude 180 longitude?
The equator is located at 0 degrees latitude and does not have a fixed longitude. It circles the Earth halfway between the North and South poles.
What degrees are the Arctic and the Antarctic circles?
They are both at 66 degrees 32 minutes, either South Latitude or North Latitude.
At what latitude do the Arctic and Antarctic circles meet?
They don't. The Arctic and Antarctic Circles are parallel. Each circle has only a single latitude. The first is at 66.5° north latitude, 23.5° from the north pole. The second is at 66.5° south latitude, 23.5° from the south pole. They're 133° apart everywhere, and never meet.
Why does the equator represent zero degrees latitude?
I believe it dates back to when the North Star was used to find latitude by ancient sailors. Degrees latitude was found by the angle between the North Star and the horizon. Since the North Star sits on the horizon at the equator the angle is zero therefore latitude is zero degrees.
Where do the arctic and antarctic circles lie?
The latitude is 66 degrees 33 minutes north.
What is the degree of latitude that passes through the center of Indiana?
Indiana extends from (just south of) 38 degrees north to (just south of) 42 degrees north. The full degree latitude closest to the midpoint is 40 degrees north.
