Is the international date line a line of latitude?
No, the international date line is a line of longitude, not latitude.
What is another name for the 0 line of latitude?
The equator is another name for the 0 line of latitude.
Which direction do lines of latitude run on maps and globes?
The lines of latitude tell the angle between a place and the Equator - the imaginary line which runs east/west around the globe - at right angles to the line connecting the north and south poles. All lines of latitude are parallel to the Equator, and so they also run east/west or west/east. An easy way to remember the difference between latitude and longitude is longitude has the word long in it. they go north and south or you may say up and down and seem longer than the latitude lines which go left and right or east and west. i dont think the lines actually are longer but they appear to be. so think of it as longitude longer up and down. latitude the opposite, shorter, left and right. The lines of latitude on maps and globes 'run' in the same direction that the marks on a ruler do.
What latitude is a eqater?
the line 0 degrees latitude is called the
Which line of latitude is the longest and what degree is it?
The equator ... the line that contains every point on Earth with zero latitude ...is the longest parallel.
Will a shadow be longer if you move north on the longitude line or smaller?
That completely depends on where you start from. -- If you're in the southern Hemisphere, at latitude more south than 23.5 degrees, then the shadow gets shorter as you move north. -- If you're in the northern Hemisphere, at latitude more north than 23.5 degrees, then the shadow gets longer as you move north. -- If you're anywhere between 23.5 south latitude and 23.5 north latitude, then the behavior of the shadow as you move north depends on the time of the year.
What is a famous latitude line?
a latitude line is a line going from east to west. Just like the equator. the equator is a latitude line measuring at ) degrees latitude.
Why does converting from a longer metric unit of length to a shorter one require multiplication?
Because there are more shorter lengths in the longer measurement. for example a line measures 2 metres. the same line also measures 200 centimetres - since a centimetre is 100 times smaller than a metre.
Is the international date line a line of latitude?
No, the international date line is a line of longitude, not latitude.

Draw a free hand map of New Zealand?
draw a shorter oblong for the north island and a longer one for the south island. Then put the details and draw a line from the shorter oblong
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.
Which line of latitude is the longest and what degree is it?
The equator ... the line that contains every point on Earth with zero latitude ...is the longest parallel.
Is the equator a line of latitude or longitude?
The equator is the line made up of every point on Earth at zero latitude.
