What else can I help you with?
What do you call the line of latitude that is exactly halfway between the north pole and the south pole?
The equator (zero degrees latitude) is a line halfway between the North Pole (90 degrees N latitude) and the South Pole (90 degrees S latitude). Any point on the equator is equidistant from the poles.
Is the equator 0 degrees longitude?
Because that's its definition. When the scale of latitude was invented, zero could have been placed anywhere. For example, the south pole might have been defined as the zero, and latitudes on earth would range from zero up to 180° at the north pole. But instead, it was decided to put zero in the middle, and call the south latitudes negative and the north ones positive.
What do we call the line of latitude 23.5 degrees north of the equator?
That's the approximate latitude of the Tropic of Cancer.
What do we call the imaginary line that is located at 0 degrees latitude?
The imaginary line located at 0 degrees latitude is called the equator. It is the line that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
What circles the earth to show latitude?
The equator circles the Earth horizontally at 0 degrees latitude to divide the Earth into northern and southern hemispheres. Similarly, lines of latitude (parallels) run parallel to the equator and show the distance in degrees north or south of the equator.

What do you call zero degrees latitude?
0 degree latitude is called equator

The imaginary line located at 0 degrees latitude is called the equator. It is the line that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
What circles the earth to show latitude?
The equator circles the Earth horizontally at 0 degrees latitude to divide the Earth into northern and southern hemispheres. Similarly, lines of latitude (parallels) run parallel to the equator and show the distance in degrees north or south of the equator.
What city is located at 16 degree south latitude and 116 degrees north?
No point on Earth can have both a north and a south coordinate. (Except points on the equator, where latitude is zero so it doesn't matter whether you call it zero north or zero south.)
What is the location at zero degree latitude?
The location at zero degrees latitude is the Equator, which is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. It passes through countries in Africa, South America, and the Pacific Ocean.
Distance north or south on a map can be measured by which of these?
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.
The line of latitude found at 0 is call the?
The line of latitude found at 0 degrees is called the equator. It is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
What do you call zero latitude?
I call it the latitude of any point on the equator.
How many degrees north is the south pole?
The south pole is defined as 90 degrees south latitude. I guess you might call that "-90 degrees north".
