Parallel: 0o latitude
A Parallel of Latitude
A "parallel" is a line comprised of all the points on Earth with the same latitude ... the angle measured north or south of the equator. Each parallel is a full circle, that crosses all meridians. A "meridian" is a line comprised of all the points on Earth with the same longitude ... the angle measured east or west from the Prime Meridian. Each meridian is a half- circle, that crosses all parallels.
the equater
Every meridian of longitude is perpendicular to every parallel of latitude, and every parallel of latitude is perpendicular to every meridian of longitude.
The line that cuts a parallel line is called a TRANSVERSAL. When you have parallel lines and you want to show like corresponding, vertical, ect.... then the line that cut through the parallel lines is a TRANSVERSAL
A Parallel of Latitude
It is a parallel latitude Line it is the line that sepetates north and south
Is the prime meridian (: . I think
meridian line of longitude 180 degress middle of the pacific ocean.
The clue is in the question. (Wonder why it's not called the 'Prime Parallel'.) Once you reason out the answer to this one, you might like to stretch your logic muscles further with a couple of classic American brain-teasers: -- Who is buried in Grant's Tomb ? -- What color is an orange ? -- When is the Fourth of July celebrated ?
There are no geographic lines that are parallel to the Prime Meridian. Technically, every meridian of longitude is parallel to every other meridian of longitude, but only over an infinitesimal distance north or south of the equator. I'm quite sure that's not what you're looking for.
no the equater does
All 'lines' of latitude are parallel to all others.No meridian of longitude is parallel to any others.-- All 'lines' of latitude are parallel to all others.-- No meridian of longitude is parallel to any other one.
The equator is parallel not meridian
The equator, at latitude zero.
Parallel of latitude, as is the Tropic of Cancer and the Equator Meridians of longitude run north-south, like the IDL or Greenwich Meridian
equater i think
