Is latitude and parallels related?

Circles of latitude are also know as parallels.


Are all parallels great circles?

No, not all parallels are great circles. A great circle is the largest possible circle that can be drawn on a sphere, and it divides the sphere into two equal hemispheres. Parallels, or lines of latitude, are circles that run parallel to the equator, and only the equator itself is a great circle. Other parallels, such as those near the poles, are smaller circles and do not divide the sphere into equal halves.


Are circles of latitude and parallels of latitude the same?

Yes.


What parallel lines split the world?

"Parallels" or "Circles of Latitude".


Parallels are imaginary circles around the globe that measures what?

Parallels are imaginary circles around the globe that measure latitude, which is the distance north or south of the equator. They help in locating positions on the Earth's surface and are often used as reference points in navigation and mapping.


Is another name for a line of latitude?

Linesof latitude are also known as circles of latitude or parallels.


What are the invisible lines the form east-west circles around earth called?

You're thinking of 'parallels of constant latitude'.


Which parallel of latitude are great circles?

All parallels of latitude, except for the Equator, are not great circles. Great circles are the largest circles that can be drawn on a sphere and pass through its center, whereas small circles do not pass through the center of the sphere.


How does the length of parallels differ as one apporoach the poles?

As one approaches the poles, the length of parallels (lines of latitude) decreases. At the equator, parallels are longest, measuring about 40,075 kilometers, but this length diminishes as you move toward the poles, becoming zero at the poles themselves. This reduction occurs because parallels are circles that are centered around the Earth's axis, and their radius shrinks as you get closer to the poles.


What parallels are not circles?

If two circles are drawn using the same centre, the two lines of the circles are parallel as they don't meet each other.Two straight lines (think of railway tracks) are drawn next to each other, but never meet, they are parallel lines.


What are the total number of parallels at an interval of 5 degree?

-- Since you're asking for "parallels", we know that the discussion concerns latitude.-- The total extent of latitude on the Earth is 180 degrees.-- The north and south poles are degenerate "parallels", i.e. circles with zero radiusat 90 degrees north and south latitude.-- If we draw in all the rest of the parallels between the poles at intervals of5 degrees, we'll need to draw 35 of them.


What is the most important line of latitude?

The most important line of latitude is the Equator. Other important parallels are the Arctic and Antarctic Circles and the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn.
