-- Since you're asking for "parallels", we know that the discussion concerns latitude.

-- The total extent of latitude on the Earth is 180 degrees.

-- The north and south poles are degenerate "parallels", i.e. circles with zero radius

at 90 degrees north and south latitude.

-- If we draw in all the rest of the parallels between the poles at intervals of

5 degrees, we'll need to draw 35 of them.

How many parallels can br drawn on a globe at an interval of 10 degrees?

A globe can have parallels drawn at 10-degree intervals ranging from 0 degrees at the Equator to 90 degrees at the poles. Since there are 180 degrees of latitude (90 degrees north and 90 degrees south), this results in a total of 19 parallels in each hemisphere, plus the Equator, making 39 parallels in total.


How many parallels at an interval of 5 degrees?

There are 36 parallels (lines of latitude) at an interval of 5 degrees from the equator to the poles. The parallels range from 0 degrees at the equator to 90 degrees at the poles, which gives a total of 18 degrees in each hemisphere. Thus, when counting both the northern and southern hemispheres, the total comes to 36.


How many parallels and meridians can be drawn on an globe at an interval of 10 degrees?

On a globe, there are 18 parallels (lines of latitude) that can be drawn at 10-degree intervals from the equator at 0° up to the poles at 90° north and 90° south. For meridians (lines of longitude), there are 36 that can be drawn at 10-degree intervals, ranging from 0° to 360°. Thus, in total, there are 54 lines (18 parallels and 36 meridians) on the globe at 10-degree intervals.


What is an interval of one degree the total number of meridian will be?

All the way around anything is 360 degrees.If you call the first meridian and then draw more at intervals of 1 degree,you'll need 360 of them to get you all the way around the Earth.


Why there are 181 parallels latitudes?

There are 181 parallels of latitude because generally, each degree of latitude is divided into 60 minutes, and 60 minutes are further divided into 60 seconds. This leads to a total of 21,600 minutes in a complete circle (360 degrees x 60 minutes). Subtracting the two points where the axis intersects the reference plane gives us 21,600 - 360 = 21,240, which are the total number of parallels minus the polar circles (90°N and 90°S).

What is the average velocity of a 6.0 second interval?

The average velocity would be the total displacement over the total time interval. To calculate this, divide the total displacement by the total time to get the average velocity.
