Which are used measure distances north or south of the equator?
lines of latitude
What is the distance on the earth's surface as measured by miles north or south from the equator to the pole?
Approximately 10,014 km (6258.75 miles). The earth isn't a perfect sphere so the distance from the south pole to the equator is slightly different to the distance from the north pole to the equator. The distance from the north pole to the equator is 10,000 km (6250 miles). The reason it's such a round number is because a metre was originally defined as exactly 1 10,000,000th of the distance from the north pole to the equator.
What are the regions called either side of the equator where air pressure is low?
The regions on either side of the equator where air pressure is low are called the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). The ITCZ is a belt of low pressure that forms because of the convergence of trade winds from both hemispheres.
Do you find any difference in the distance between the longitudes from the equator to the poles?
Yes you do. One degree of longitude spans about 69 miles along the equator, but no distance at all at the poles. The longitudes are evenly distributed around the globe, but they all converge (meet) at both poles. So it's easy to understand why they must draw closer and closer together as you move from the equator to either pole.
What is the appropriate measure to record the distance to the closest mall from your house?
The appropriate measure to record the distance to the closest mall from your house would be in either miles or kilometers, depending on your location and preference. You can use GPS tools or online mapping services to calculate the exact distance.
What do Parallel measure?
Latitude,the angular distance from the equator toward either pole.
Which are used measure distances north or south of the equator?
lines of latitude
What line measurs distance from either of the equator to the poles?
Latitude lines
What lines measure the distances from either side of equator to the poles?
Latitude lines
What lines measure diatances from either side of the equator to the poles?
Lines of Latitude, i think:)
How do you take difference of latitude?
Latitude is your distance or angular measurement from the equator. Either north or south. Without using a GPS system the best way is to measure the angle of the sun above the horizon at local noon.
Measures distance north and south of the equator?
The North Pole is at 90 degrees north latitude, and the South Pole is at 90 degrees south latitude. So, distance north or south of the equator is called 'latitude'. One way to remember this is to think of the rungs of a ladder. "Ladder"-- "Lati-" you step up or down the 'rungs of ladder-tude'.
How do you write the distance between points a and b?
If you know the coordinates either measure it or use the distance formula
What the Distance north or south of the equator?
Latitude measures North or South of the Equator in degrees. 0° is the Equator, and 90° N (or +90°) is the North Pole, and 90° S (or -90°) is the South Pole. Each degree of latitude is about 69 miles (or 60 Nautical Miles). Longitude lines (which run north and south, but measure east/west) get closer together as you approach either pole.

How do the latitudes and longitude help you locate the exact places?
Latitude - is the distance from the equator (either north or south). Longitude - is the distance from the Prime Meridian in Greenwich, England (either east or west). Using these values you can pinpoint your position anywhere on Earth.
