Why are longitudes parallel?
They aren't, latitudes are.
Why are latitudes concentric but longitudes meet at the poles?
Latitudes are parallel to the equator. Longitudes converge like elastics on a soccer ball.
What hemisp here is the tropic of cancer?
Equator: The boundary between the northern and southern hemispheres, extending through all longitudes. All hemispheres.Prime Meridian: The boundary between eastern and western hemispheres, extending through all latitudes. All hemispheres.Tropic of Cancer: The parallel of 23.5 north latitude, extending through all longitudes. Northern, eastern, western hemispheres.Tropic of Capricorn: The parallel of 23.5 south latitude, extending through all longitudes. hemispheres. Southern, eastern western hemispheres.
Which hemisphere does the tropic of cancer pass trought?
Equator: The boundary between the northern and southern hemispheres, extending through all longitudes. All hemispheres.Prime Meridian: The boundary between eastern and western hemispheres, extending through all latitudes. All hemispheres.Tropic of Cancer: The parallel of 23.5 north latitude, extending through all longitudes. Northern, eastern, western hemispheres.Tropic of Capricorn: The parallel of 23.5 south latitude, extending through all longitudes. hemispheres. Southern, eastern western hemispheres.
Does each line of longitude parallel to another line of longitude?
Yes No, lines of longitude are as parallel to each other as the earth is flat. All longitudes intersect at the north and south poles.
Are longitudes and latitudes parallels lines?
Latitude lines are parallel but not longitude lines.
When are two points said to be in a parallel longitude?
Probably never. Longitudes are generally the imaginary lines joining the North and South poles of a spherical object such as the earth; and these define the East-West location of points. Longitudes cannot be parallel and so it is unlikely that two points can be said to be in a parallel longitude.
Why longitude are not parallel?
Parallel lines never meet. On the other hand, every pair of longitudes meets at the Earth's North and South Poles.
What are 3 qualities of the lines of longitude?
-- they are semi-circles -- they are not parallel -- they join the north and south poles -- they are perpendicular to the equator -- the higher the latitude, the closer together any two longitudes are -- at the poles, all longitudes are the same point -- for every longitude west, there is an equal longitude east
Why are longitudes called meridians of longitudes?
as all the places on the same longitude have their noon at the same time
What parallel are you in?
Parallel refers to the longitude where you live. Longitudes are the imaginary lines ruled around the globe by map makers starting at the equator, zero longitude, to 90 degrees at the poles. The 60th parallel refers to 60 degrees from the equator and passes through Europe and all points on that level around the globe.
