The parallels north of the equator are referred to as "north latitudes." Key lines include the Tropic of Cancer at approximately 23.5° N, the Arctic Circle at about 66.5° N, and the North Pole at 90° N. These parallels mark significant geographical and climatic zones on Earth.
What else can I help you with?
Lines of latitude are also called what?
Parallels and meridians. Circles parallel to the Equator (lines running east and west) are parallels of latitude. They are used to measure degrees of latitude north or south of the Equator. Meridians of longitude are drawn from the North Pole to the South Pole and are at right angles to the Equator.
What is another name for latitude?
Sometimes they will be called parallels. The middle is the equator (as you know.).
What is also known as parallels?
Parallels are also called lines of constant latitude, on maps and globes.
Is the distance north and south of the equator it is noted by?
The distance north and south of the equator is measured in degrees of latitude. The equator is designated as 0° latitude, with measurements increasing to 90° north and 90° south.
How do parallels differ from latitude?
A parallel is any circle that runs east and west around earth and that is parallel to the equator, latitude is the angular distance north and south from the equator. A parallel is a latitude, however they have different meanings. ! -ANA
What is the name of lines of latitude that are north of the equator?
Except for a very few specific ones, the lines don't have names. The lines that mark latitudes north of the equator are "parallels of north latitude".
The parallels above the equator are which direction?
north
What are the lines north are south of the equator called?
"parallels" of latitude
Lines of latitude are also called what?
Parallels and meridians. Circles parallel to the Equator (lines running east and west) are parallels of latitude. They are used to measure degrees of latitude north or south of the Equator. Meridians of longitude are drawn from the North Pole to the South Pole and are at right angles to the Equator.
What is the starting point for numbering parallels on a map?
The numbering of parallels on a map begins at the Equator with zero degrees. Degrees ae counted away from the equator, both to the north and to the south. The north Ppole is 90 degrees north of the Equator and the South Pole is 90 degree south of the Equator.
What is another name for latitude?
Sometimes they will be called parallels. The middle is the equator (as you know.).
Measurements for distances from the parallels are made in degrees parallels north of the equator are labeled with a N and those south of the equator are labeled with a S.?
Yes, yes. Go on. I think you've got it.
What is also known as parallels?
Parallels are also called lines of constant latitude, on maps and globes.
Is the distance north and south of the equator it is noted by?
The distance north and south of the equator is measured in degrees of latitude. The equator is designated as 0° latitude, with measurements increasing to 90° north and 90° south.
How do parallels differ from latitude?

Are parallels numbered 0 to 90 east and west?
No. Parallels of latitude mark angles north and south of the equator.\ if this is a true and false then false
What are Imaginary lines which run at right angles to the equator?
They are lines of constant latitude, all parallel to the equator.
