How close is great Britain to the equator?
There is only one equator - the one that runs around the Earth at Latitude 0°. That's the one (and only one) nearest the British Isles. I suppose if you included the equators of exoplanets the question would make a little more sense - but not much since the answer is self-evident.
How do lines of latitude run in relation to the equator?
Lines of latitude circle the earth, parallel to the equator.
What happens to thelength of day as you move nor of the equator?
The path of the sun in the sky is determined by the Earths tilt with regard to the sun during the year and the position of the observers position on the Earth's surface. These same concerns also impact the location on the horizon that the sun appears to rise and set.In the simplest case, at the autumnal and vernal equinoxes the sun reaches a height of (90 - location degree of latitude). For other easily calculable times of yeas such as the solstices the sun reaches a height of (90 - degree of latitude - inclination of the earth in degrees) degrees.

There is definetly more land above the equator !! i have studied these in scince i have even had a test about these and it provbes on the map that it is more in the above than in the bottom.there is 150000000 square kilometer above
As the crow flies 483 Km or 300 Miles plus or minus 10 miles
5. In what direction is the equator from the South Pole?
The equator is North, as is everything else on earth when you are at the South Pole. From the south Pole, every direction is north.
The North pole is the northernmost point on Earth. The South Pole is the southernmost point on Earth. The Equator is a line running circumferentially around the Earth and is midway between the poles. The Equator is south of the North Pole and north of the South Pole.
All lines of latitude -- including the Equator -- are north of the South Pole.
What is the altitude of the sun over the equator at noon on the winter solstice?
At the northern solstice the subsolar point reaches to 23.44° north, known as the Tropic of Cancer. Likewise at the southern solstice the same thing happens for latitude 23.44° south, known as the Tropic of Capricorn. The sub-solar point will cross every latitude between these two extremes exactly twice per year.
Sun is a star not a chemical compound; any chemical equation for Sun.
Sun contain hydrogen, helium and other minor elements.
What imaginary line goes around the earth from north to south?
The lines that run north and south are called meridians of longitude.
(The north and south poles are the ends of every meridian, so each one
only goes half-way around the globe.)
Why are places with high temperature found at equator?
The earth's temperature is hotter at the equator and colder at the poles because of the difference in the angle of the sun's rays. Since the earth is round, the sun's rays hit different areas at different angles; the higher the latitude the more slanted are the sun's rays. In tropical or lower latitude areas the sun stays more or less overhead throughout the year. Since direct rays provide more heat than rays at an angle, the tropics receive the most heat and have the warmest average temperatures.
How many miles is Cape Town from the equator?
The distance is straight path from one place to another place. There might be slight difference between the actual distance and the above mentioned distance because of the route chosen.The distance between the above mentioned places is 2,346.07 miles approximately.
How many cities on the map are south of the equator?
There are thousands of cities that located north of the Equator. Cities in the United States include New York City, Chicago, St. Louis, Indianapolis, and San Diego, California.
Is antarctica in the north pole or north of the equator?
Everywhere in Chile is south of the equator.
Why does Quito have a pleasant climate throughout the year?
Quito
(kēˈtō)[
key], city (1990 pop. 1,100,847), N central Ecuador, capital of Ecuador and of Pichincha prov. After Guayaquil it is Ecuador's largest city. The setting of Quito is visually splendid: It lies at the foot of the Pichincha volcano in the hollow of a gently sloping, fertile valley. Only a short distance below the equator but at an elevation of 9,350 ft (2,850 m), Quito has a pleasant, balmy climate; however, it is subject to earthquakes and has been damaged several times. The city has textile mills and handicraft and other minor industries, but it is primarily as the educational, cultural, and political center of Ecuador that Quito is important. It is the seat of the Central Univ. of Ecuador and of the oldest art school in Latin America. The site was originally settled by the Quito people. It was captured by the Inca and became the capital of the Inca Kingdom of Quito a few decades before Sebastián de Benalcázar arrived and captured it for Spain (1534). In 1663, Quito became the seat of an audiencia, with boundaries foreshadowing that of present-day Ecuador. Quito was shifted back and forth between the viceroyalty of Peru and that of
New Granada. There was an abortive uprising against Spain in 1809, and not until 1822 was the city liberated by Antonio José de
Sucre. Quito has a Spanish colonial atmosphere, with many examples of fine early architecture, notably the great Church of San Francisco (see
Spanish colonial art and architecture). Much of the city's population is Native American.
What hemisphere does the equator cross?
okay idk how you don't know this but hemispheres are the quadrants of the equator and the meridian something (the line that runs vertically on the earth) so the equator isn't located in a hemisphere bc it makes the hemispheres
What are Landlocked countries that are north of the equator?
All of the landlocked countries of Africa are in the tropics.
North of the equator are Mali, Niger, South Sudan, Chad, Burkina Faso, the Central African Republic, and Uganda (which straddles the equator).
