The equator and the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn
What else can I help you with?
How is the space between two parallel lines of latitude divided?
Between any two parallels of latitude, you may draw as many more lines of latitudeas you feel you need on your map. There is no 'official' set of 'lines', and the truth isthat between any two latitudes you name, no matter how close together they are,an infinite number of other latitudes can be named.
What is the name for all the vertical and horizontal lines found on a globe?
They are lines of longitude and latitude, often just longitudes and latitudes.
What is imaginary lines called?
On the earth (and planetary/stellar bodies) they are called latitudes and longitudes.
Are the lines of latitude equidistant at all points?
Yes. All latitudes are approximately 111 km apart.
Why is it important that intersecting lines intersect?
If they didn't intersect, then they couldn't be called intersecting lines.
Why are there 181 lines of latitudes?
90 north latitudes + 90 south latitudes + 1 line of equator
Are longitudes and latitudes parallels lines?
Latitude lines are parallel but not longitude lines.
How is the space between two parallel lines of latitude divided?
Between any two parallels of latitude, you may draw as many more lines of latitudeas you feel you need on your map. There is no 'official' set of 'lines', and the truth isthat between any two latitudes you name, no matter how close together they are,an infinite number of other latitudes can be named.
Is there any magnetism observed in the space between two magnetic lines of force?
Yes, just as sure as there are measurements between two lines on a ruler, and latitudes between two parallels on a globe.
What are the parallels and latitudes on maps?
Parallels are lines that go up and down the map, latitudes are lines that go across the map from side to side.
What are the imaginary lines on the maps?
The horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.
What are the imaginary lines on the globe and map?
The horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.
What are vertical lines called?
They are simply just called lines.
What direction do lines of latitudes run?
one direction
What is the most important 7 lines of latitude called?
The Equator is the most important line of latitude as it is the reference point for measuring other latitudes.
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.
Is the area between the tropic of cancer and the tropic of Capricorn high or low latitudes?
Both! All lines of latitude between the equator and the tropic of cancer are high latitudes, and lines of latitude between the equator and the tropic of capricorn are considered low latitudes. ***THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE TROPICAL LATITUDES*** <- those I can't name
