What two lines mark zero degrees on the globe in which directions do the lines run?

The Equator is the line of zero latitude, and runs west to east horizontally round the middle of the Earth. The Prime Meridian is the line of zero longitude, and runs vertically from the North Pole to The South Pole, passing through the Greenwich Observatory, Greenwich, London, England.

How are parallels of latitude numbered?

Parallels of latitude are numbered by degrees north or south of the equator. The equator is zero degrees, while the north pole is at 90N and the south pole at 90S. Depending on the scale of your map or the size of your globe, the printed lines of latitude may be every degree, every 5 degrees or every 15 degrees.


What are the zero degrees longitudinal and latitudinal lines known as?

Zero degrees latitude: Equator Zero degrees longitude: Prime Meridian


What is zero degrees called?

Zero Degrees Fahrenheit is called nothing. Zero degrees Celsius is the freezing point for water and the melting point for ice, while Zero degrees Kelvin is called Absolute zero. It is the temperature of space. Now, if you mean when water hits the zero degree celcius mark, it's called the freezing point.

Is it true that the longitude lines in each hemisphere are numbered up to 90 degrees?

The longitude of places in both the eastern and western hemispheres ranges from zero to 180 degrees. The 'lines' printed on a map or globe, and how they're numbered, are completely up to its publisher. There may even not be any lines at all on some maps or globes.


What parallel are you in?

Parallel refers to the longitude where you live. Longitudes are the imaginary lines ruled around the globe by map makers starting at the equator, zero longitude, to 90 degrees at the poles. The 60th parallel refers to 60 degrees from the equator and passes through Europe and all points on that level around the globe.

What is the zero degrees latitude?

If you take a pencil and make a little dot on a map or globe at every point that has zero degrees latitude, the dots will eventually fill in to form the line known as the earth's "Equator". How you decide where to mark each point: Put it exactly midway between the north pole and the south pole.


What is the right and left lines of a globe?

"... the right and left lines of a globe?" I assume the reference is to the lines of longitude? The Prime Meridian is zero longitude which is a line that passed through the Greenwich observatory, London, England. To the left is west. To the right is east.


Which is colder zero Fahrenheit or zero centigrade?

Zero degrees Centigrade is the same a 32 degrees Fahrenheit, both mark the freezing point. Therefore 0 degrees Fahrenheit would be much colder than 0 degrees Centigrade.
