What are the lines on the globe that look like a checkerboard called?
the lines on the globe are called longitude and latitude lines the longitude lines go up and down while the latitude lines go left to right
Which directions does a Parallel go?
If you mean a 'parallel' of latitude on the earth, then it is a circle that proceeds east and west from any point on it. There can be any desired number of them, the only specification being that every point on the 'parallel' has the same geographic latitude. Since these are all curved lines, it's hard to say that they are parallel in the same sense as parallel straight lines on a flat surface. But the planes they lie in are all truly parallel planes.
Does parallel go left to right?
No, parallel lines are any two lines that are at the exact same distance apart for all their length, they will NEVER intersect. Their orientation can be left to right, up and down and any angle in between. Parallels of latitude, however, are concentric circles around the earth in the east west orientation, parallel to the equator.
What is located at 9 degrees north latitude and 80 degrees west longitude?
According to the question, the time at 90 degree East longitude is 11 am, and to reach 15 degree west longitude it will have to go 105 degrees east as first of all it will go to 0 degree and then 15 degree to reach 15 degree west longitude. visit our page: bharrathividyashram .org/about-us
