What lines measure the distance north and south of the equator?
Lines of latitude. Longitude is from Pole to Pole.
Is 20 degrees Southe closer to the equator or is 10 degrees north?
The "north" and "south" latitude references begin at the equator. So "20 degrees" north or south are both 20 degrees from the equator, and "10 degrees" north or south are both 10 degrees from the equator. 10 is closer to the equator than 20.
What happens to the north stars as it approach 0 degrees?
As you approach 0 degrees latitude (the equator), the North Star becomes lower in the sky. The North Star is located directly above the North Pole, so as you move further south towards the equator, it appears closer to the northern horizon. At the equator (0 degrees latitude), the North Star would be right on the horizon and not visible.
As you move north or south from the equator the lines of longitude become what to one another?
closer
Are the latitudes in Iceland positive or negative?
There are no negative latitudes, its either north or south(of the equator). As you go up, or north from the equator, the latitudes go up. As you go south and move below the equator the latitudes go up as you move south. 63°17′N to 67°08′09″N, this is the range for Iceland.
What happens to the length of day as you move north of the equator?
They become shorter.
What happens to the length of day as you move north of equator?
They become shorter.

Does the sun move north or south at the equator?
The sun is north of the equator for 6 months every year, and south of the equator during the other 6 months. In order to accomplish these gyrations, it crosses the equator twice a year ... on March 21 moving north, and on September 22 moving south.
What happens to the north stars as it approach 0 degrees?
As you approach 0 degrees latitude (the equator), the North Star becomes lower in the sky. The North Star is located directly above the North Pole, so as you move further south towards the equator, it appears closer to the northern horizon. At the equator (0 degrees latitude), the North Star would be right on the horizon and not visible.
As you move north or south from the equator the lines of longitude become what to one another?
closer
What happens to the length of day (the number of hours of daylight) as you move south of the Equator?
day becomes longer
Are the latitudes in Iceland positive or negative?
There are no negative latitudes, its either north or south(of the equator). As you go up, or north from the equator, the latitudes go up. As you go south and move below the equator the latitudes go up as you move south. 63°17′N to 67°08′09″N, this is the range for Iceland.
Is earth in south east west or north hemisphere?
The equator is the imaginary central line that runs east and west along the earth, whereas, the prime meridian runs north and south. If we follow the equator we must move to the east and then north to arrive at the United Kingdom.Therefore the U.K. is located northeast from the equator.
What happens to the altitude of Polaris as you move south and the north earn hemisphere?
As you move south in the Northern Hemisphere, the altitude of Polaris decreases. Polaris, or the North Star, is located almost directly above the North Pole at an altitude of about 90 degrees. As you travel southward, its angle above the horizon diminishes, reaching zero degrees at the equator, where it is no longer visible.
How do temperatures change fom north to south?
Temperatures generally decrease as you move from the equator (south) towards the North Pole. This is because the angle of sunlight hitting Earth's surface is more direct at the equator, leading to higher temperatures. As you move towards the poles, the angle of sunlight becomes more oblique, causing temperatures to decrease.
