Which line of latitude is the longest?
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) .
What is another name for the 0 degree parallel?
The parallel of zero latitude on the earth is usually referred to as the earth's 'equator'.
Why are latitudes parallel but not of the same size?
Latitudes are parallel lines that run east-west around the Earth, maintaining a constant distance from each other. However, they are not of the same size because the circumference of the Earth decreases as one moves from the equator towards the poles. At the equator, the latitude lines are the longest, while the lines near the poles become shorter until they converge at the poles themselves. This geometric relationship results in parallel lines that vary in length.
What is the 49th parallel?
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.
What parallel lines divides the earth into 2 equal parts?
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.
The longest parallel on the earths surface is the?
Equator is the longest parallel on the Earth's surface. It divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere and is located at 0 degrees latitude.
What is the longest parallel on Earth's surface called?
The longest parallel on Earth's surface is the equator, which circles the planet halfway between the North and South Poles at a latitude of 0 degrees.
Which line of latitude is the longest and what degree is it?
The equator ... the line that contains every point on Earth with zero latitude ...is the longest parallel.
What are the longest latitude and longest longitude?
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.
Which of these will last the longest?
The cell that lasts the longest will have the most batteries in parallel or serial.
Is the Equator a parallel or a meridian?
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
Is the 60th parallel half as long as the equator?
No, the 60th parallel is not half as long as the equator. The equator is the longest latitude line and divides the Earth into two equal halves, while the 60th parallel is closer to the poles and represents 60 degrees north or south of the equator.
Does a rectagle have no parallel sides?
A rectangle has 2 parallel sides- the two longest sides are parallel with each other, as are the 2 shortest sides.
Which line of latitude is the longest?
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) .
Are the axes of Earth and Moon parallel?
yes they are parallel!
Is there a parallel universe in your solar system?
no because if there was a parallel earth there would have to be parallel planets
