The locus of all points of zero latitude ... sometimes also known as the "Equator" ... is the longest parallel of constant latitude. It's length is the equatorial circumference of the earth ... roughly 24,900 miles (40,073 km) .
The parallel of zero latitude on the earth is usually referred to as the earth's 'equator'.
The 49th parallel north is a latitudinal circle on the Earth that is 49 degrees above the Earth's equator. This imaginary line is used as the border between the United States and Canada.
The Equator divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. Lines of latitude are parallel to the Equator both to the north and to the south.
"Parallel to the earth" is a somewhat messy phrase used to describe something that stays the same distance above the earth's surface. Of course since the earth's surface is curved, this means that whatever the 'something' is, it also must be curved. Here are a couple of examples: 1). During certain atmospheric conditions (K = infinite), a radio signal launched horizontally propagates 'parallel to the earth', and exactly follows the earth's curvature. 2). Geostationary communications satellites ... like the ones that private homes use those little dishes to receive TV from ... are in circular orbits over the earth's equator. They revolve around the earth once in 24 hours, on paths that are 'parallel to the earth'.
The Equator.
The equator ... the line that contains every point on Earth with zero latitude ...is the longest parallel.
The longest parallel of latitude is the one defined as 'zero degrees', known as the "Equator". All meridians of longitude have the same length ... 1/2 of the earth's polar circumference.
The cell that lasts the longest will have the most batteries in parallel or serial.
The Equator.
The equator is a parallel. Meridians are imaginary semi-circles that connect the north and south poles. "Parallels" are imaginary full circles around the Earth, and every point on a parallel is the same distance from a pole. The equator is the longest parallel. Every point on it is equal distances from both the north and south poles. The latitude of the equator is zero, and all other latitudes are measured from it. A parallel

A rectangle has 2 parallel sides- the two longest sides are parallel with each other, as are the 2 shortest sides.
yes they are parallel!
The Nile river is the longest river on Earth For horseisle? the answer is just Nile!
no because if there was a parallel earth there would have to be parallel planets
The Parallel line that divides the Earth in two is the Equator.Answer by Andres914
