A polar projection is a map viewing either the North Pole or the South Pole from above. Each latitude line forms a circle that is centered at the pole. The latitude lines closest to the pole are the smallest, and the ones farther away are the largest.
Latitude and LongitudeLatitude is the lines that go from east to west, and longitude from north to south.
Imaginary lines that circle the earth from east to west are called lines of longitude, or meridians. These lines help define the distance east or west of the prime meridian, which is located in Greenwich, England.
Lines of latitude are called parallels which run east-west as circles parallel to the equator. There are 5 named lines of latitude called the Arctic Circle, Tropic of Cancer, Equator, Tropic of Capricorn, and Antarctic Circle from North to South, respectively.On the other hand, lines of longitude are called meridians.
The imaginary circle that runs through Canada at 66.5 degrees north latitude is the Arctic Circle. It marks the southernmost latitude where the sun can remain continuously above or below the horizon for 24 hours during the summer and winter solstices, respectively.
They are both imaginary lines which circle the earth!

it is a latitude
Latitude and LongitudeLatitude is the lines that go from east to west, and longitude from north to south.
Latitude and Longitude. Both are imaginary lines that circle the earth and are used to measure distance and position. Lines of Latitude run east and west and lines of longitude run north and south. By intersecting two lines you can give an accurate position anywhere on the earth.
