What is the name of the parallel circling the globe at 0 degrees latitude?
The parallel circling the globe at 0 degrees latitude is called the Equator. It divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
What imaginary parallel lines run around the globe?
The imaginary parallel lines that run around the globe are the lines of latitude. They are important for locating places on the Earth's surface and are measured in degrees north or south of the equator.
What is one of many lines on the global grid that circle the earth north or south of the equator used to measure degrees of latitude?
Degrees of latitude run east and west around the globe. They are also called parallels of latitude.
What is an exact spot on earth called?
An exact spot on Earth is called a geographic coordinate, specified by latitude and longitude. These coordinates pinpoint a precise location on the globe.
What is another name for latitude lines that circle the earth from east to west but measure from north to south?
Parallels! As you look at a globe map the lines of latitude are paralell if the globe is oriented with north totally vertical and you are far enough away. (no 23.5 degree slant). Since the Earth is nearly spherical your paralell view of the lines of latitude would only appear so from above the equator. Lines of latitude are the origin of the term nautical mile and knot.

How can you find the opposite latitude and longitude of anywhere on earth?
by looking at the globe.
What is the name of the parallel circling the globe at 0 degrees latitude?
The parallel circling the globe at 0 degrees latitude is called the Equator. It divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
What is the difference between parellel and latitude?
If you mark a dot on the globe at every place that has the same latitude, the dots form a line all the way around the Earth. That line is sometimes called a 'parallel' of latitude.
Do latitude units go east and west?
No. The latitude of a point on Earth is the angle on the surface starting at the equator and measuring north or south to the point of interest. All points on Earth that have the same latitude form a line that displays east-west on a map or globe.
How many one degree latitude are there in the northern half of the globe?
There are 90 degrees of latitude in each half of the globe.
What is the pattern of lines that circle the globe east-west and north-south called?
The pattern of lines that circle the globe east-west are called lines of latitude, while the lines that circle the globe north-south are called lines of longitude. Together, they form a grid system that helps in locating points on the Earth's surface.
What is the latitude of North Pole?
90 degrees north
What imaginary parallel lines run around the globe?
The imaginary parallel lines that run around the globe are the lines of latitude. They are important for locating places on the Earth's surface and are measured in degrees north or south of the equator.
Are the parallel lines on a globe called longitude or latitude lines?
Latitude.
How many lines of latitude are on the globe?
there are 36 lines of latitude respectively
What is one of many lines on the global grid that circle the earth north or south of the equator used to measure degrees of latitude?
Degrees of latitude run east and west around the globe. They are also called parallels of latitude.
How many degrees in the globe?
A globe typically shows the Earth's surface in a spherical form, so it consists of 360 degrees of longitude and 180 degrees of latitude, totaling 64,800 square degrees.
