The kilometer.
The unit of measurement that would be best for measuring the distance from the North Pole to the equator is kilometers (km) or nautical miles (nmi). These units are commonly used to measure long distances and are suitable for measuring the Earth's surface.
Parallels are lines that run the same direction and are the always the same distance apart. On a map (and the Earth) the lines of latitude (measurement North and South of the equator) are parallel.
Until 1983 the metre was defined at one ten millionth of the distance from the equator to the north pole. That definition has changed to reflect greater understanding and knowledge. Originally, the meter was based on the distance between the equator and the north pole along the meridian that went through Paris. That distance was set at 10,000 kilometers and the metre was ten millionth of the distance.
it is 1/10000000000 of the distance from the north pole to the equator (note it is the north pole becuz the south pole is slightly farther)
Arizona is on the north side of the equator.
California is on the north side of the equator.
Latitude is the measurement of distance north or south of the Equator. Longitude is the measurement of distance east or west of the prime meridian.
The "latitude" of any place is the angle on the Earth's surface between that placeand the equator. That angle is the basic measurement, and the distance can becalculated from it.
Latitude. 2nd answer: Latitude is the wrong answer. Distance is measured in miles, feet, yards, meters, kilometers, and so forth. Latitude is a measurement of degrees, not distance.
The metre is one-ten-millionth the distance from the North Pole to the Equator.
No. The equator is the main line of Latitude, and how we measure how far North or South we are. The equator is at zero degrees latitude... The North Pole is 90 degrees North; the South Pole is 90 degrees South. Logitude is a measurement about how far we are East or West from Greenwich, England.
Declination is.
what is the distance north and south of the equator: Latitude.
Yes it is.
Latidude, given in degrees, is a measurement or distance north or south of the equator, and it is most commonly used to tell you where you are located on a globe or map.
Paris is about 3,312 miles north of the Equator.
Latitude is the angular distance north or south of the equator. Longitude is the angular distance east or west of the equator.
The degrees north of the equator for Turkey is between 37* and 42* north of the equator. This is a distance of 2500 miles.
