Why were the winds between 30 degrees and 0 degrees north and south of the equator named trade winds?
The trade winds are the prevailing pattern of easterly surface winds found in the tropics, within the lower portion of the Earth's atmosphere, in the lower section of the tropospherenear the Earth's equator. The trade winds blow predominantly from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere, strengthening during the winter and when the Arctic oscillation is in its warm phase. Historically, the trade winds have been used by captains of sailing ships to cross the world's oceans for centuries, and enabled European empire expansion into the Americas and trade routes to become established across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

How many degrees are there between the Equator and the southern tip of Greendland?
There are 90 degrees of latitude between the Equator and the North Pole. Greenland's southernmost point is located at approximately 59 degrees north latitude. Therefore, there are roughly 31 degrees of latitude between the Equator and the southern tip of Greenland.

Which tropical latitude is between the arctic circle and the equator?
The "tropical latitudes" are the latitudes within 23.5 degrees of the equator, both north and south of it. The half of the "tropics" between the equator and the Arctic Circle is the half between the equator and 23.5 degrees north latitude. The line at 23.5 degrees north latitude that marks the northern boundary of the tropics is the "Tropic of Cancer".
What is the northern hemisphere located between?
The northern hemisphere is located between the equator at 0 degrees latitude and the North Pole at 90 degrees north latitude. It encompasses all areas north of the equator.
What are the degrees of the tropics?
They are between 23 1/2 degrees north and south of the Equator.
Is the uk in the middle of the equator and the north pole?
More or less. The largest island of the UK - Great Britain - sits between 50 and 59 degrees north of the equator. Therefore - its just north of the half-way point (45 degrees) between the equator and the north 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.
