What are the imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator called?
Longitudinal or longitude lines are the imaginary lines that are perpendicular to the equator. Latitudinal or latitude lines are parallel to the equator.
What are lines of latitutde?
Latitude lines are imaginary lines that are parallel to the equator to fix a position on earth (along with longitude lines which are imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator)
The equator is an imaginary circle drawn around the earth that divides it into northern and southern hemispheres What are the imaginary lines called that are parallel to the equator?
false
What do you call imaginary lines running parallel to the equator?
parallels or lines of latitude
What are the imaginary lines that measure distance north to south of the equator?
parallel lines, or lines of latitude.
Which imaginary lines are based on the equator?
The lines are latitude,heat equator and pressure belts.
What is imaginary lines that run parallel to the Equator?
there are two names i can think of: lines of latitude and also parallels
What is the imaginary horizontal lines that go the same way as the equator?
The set of imaginary lines that are all parallel to the equator are the parallels of latitude. Whether they're horizontal or not depends on how you hold your map.
What are the imaginary parallel lines numbered in degrees around the north and south of the equator?
The imaginary parallel lines numbered in degrees around the north and south of the equator are called lines of latitude. The lines of latitude run east-west and are measured in degrees from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles. They help in determining the location of a place on Earth's surface.
What are lines that run parallel from the equator called?
There are no parallel lines that run FROM the equator. Lines that are parallel TO the equator are the latitudes.
What is the latitudes lines?
Lines of latitude are any of the circles, called parallels, that are to the north or to the south of the equator and parallel to it. They are the lines on standard maps that go from east to west; right-left.It is an imaginary line around the Earth parallel to the equator.
What are the imaginary lines perpenticular to the equator?
The imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator are lines of longitude, also known as meridians. These lines run from the North Pole to the South Pole and help determine a location's east-west position on the Earth's surface. The prime meridian, located at 0 degrees longitude, is the starting point for measuring longitude.
