It's called a latitude
(But you asked for the name of the LINE that goes around the Earth like a parallel belt)
One line that goes West to East (left to right) is called the Equator. Another line that goes North to South (up and down) is called the Prime Meridian
Equator
Latitude and LongitudeLatitude is the lines that go from east to west, and longitude from north to south.
false
The veritical lines that run across the earth are latitude. The horazontal line that runs across the earth is the equator.
Lines of latitude are imaginary lines that run parallel to the equator and form part of a grid used to describe where on the earth you are. They are often called parallels.
There is no single picture of where the 36th parallel is. The 36th parallel is an imaginary line across the earth.
Equator
Latitude and LongitudeLatitude is the lines that go from east to west, and longitude from north to south.
false
The imaginary line that circles the earth at 23.5o N is the Tropic of Cancer. This line is parallel with the equator.
The veritical lines that run across the earth are latitude. The horazontal line that runs across the earth is the equator.
Lines of latitude are imaginary lines that run parallel to the equator and form part of a grid used to describe where on the earth you are. They are often called parallels.
The Earth's Axis
It is a set of imaginary lines on the surface of the Earth which parallel to the equator. They go from 90 degrees N, at the North Pole, to 0 degrees at the equator, to 90 deg S at the South Pole.
The Equator divides the Earth into a northern and southern hemispheres.
Earth spins on a imaginary line called an Axis that's what it rotates on aswell. An axis has an angel for the Earth to spin on. An Equator is another imaginary line.
the equator is an imaginary line going across the middle of the earth
