What else can I help you with?
Lines running parallel to the equator are called?
You have answered the question for yourself ; They are 'Latitudes''. Longitudes (Meridians) are lines that run North to South from the North Pole to the South Pole. Longitudes come to a point at the poles, but spread out to a maximum at the Equator.
Which are used measure distances north or south of the equator?
lines of latitude
What are lines on maps that indicate latitude also known as?
These lines of latitude are called parallels.
What are Imaginary lines which run at right angles to the equator?
They are lines of constant latitude, all parallel to the equator.
All lines of latitude meet at what line?
Lines of constant latitude are parallel. No two of them meet anywhere.All lines of constant latitude cross all lines of constant longitude.
Which latitude lines mark the summer and winter solstices?
The Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.
Where do latitude lines meet?
Latitudinal lines never meet as the are circumference lines. However, Longitudinal lines meet at the North & South poles. Zero Longitude goes through Greenwich which is also where Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) comes from. GMT is British winter time as opposed to British Summer Time which is GMT +1 hour.
What are The lines that intercept latitude lines on a map Are lines of what?
The lines that intercept latitude lines are lines of longitude.
Why is a power line more likely to break in winter than in Summer even if it is loaded with the same weight?
Heat in the summer makes materials expand which make power lines somewhat elastic. During the cold months of winter the power lines contract. The difference of the reaction of the materials during seasons is why a power line is more likely to break in the winter than in the summer bearing the same weight.
Which lines decide duration of day and night?
Every point along the same line of latitude has the same amount of time between sunrise and sunset at any given moment. That amount of time grows gradually shorter from the time of the summer solstice until the time of the winter solstice, and it grows gradually longer from the winter solstice until the summer solstice. Also, higher altitudes at the same latitude and longitude will see the sun slightly longer.
In anyone lived in a pretty how the lines spring summer autumn winter represents the?
passage of time.
Is Lines of latitude is parallel?
Lines of latitude run parallel to the Equator (which is zero latitude).
What lines are parallel to the equator?
lines of latitude
What are principal lines of latitude?
whats the principal lines of latitude
Do lines of latitude sometimes intersect?
No, lines of latitude do not intersect.
Are the lines of Capricorn and cancer lines of longitude or latitude?
latitude?
How are lines of latitude and lines of longitute alike?
lines of latitude and lines of longitude are the same because they just are.
