What line of latitude is found at 66.5N?
Arctic Circle.
What line of latitude is the biggst circle?
The line of zero latitude, also known as the "equator", is.It's roughly 24,800 miles long.
Is the Arctic Circle a line of latitude?
Yes,and it is included from the lines of latitude:tropic of cancer,equator,tropic of capricorn & antarctic circle
What line that goes from one side of the circle to the other?
In geometry it is called the "Great Circle".
Which line divide the earth into two?
Any such line is called a great circle. There are infinitely many of them.
What is the only line of latitude that is the great circle?
The equator .
Is the equator the only line of latitude that is a great circle?
Yes
What is the great circle at 0 degrees latitude known by?
The great circle at 0 degrees latitude is known as the Equator. It is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
Is the Tropic of Cancer a great circle?
No; neither of the tropics is a great circle. The only line of latitude that is a great circle is the equator. The arctic and antarctic circles are not great circles, either.
Is the Arctic Circle a line of longitude or latitude?
The Arctic Circle is a line of latitude. As of 2012, it is approximately 66° 33' 44" N latitude.
Is the only line of latitude that is a Great Circle is the equator ture or false?
True. The equator is the only line of latitude that is a great circle because it lies in a plane that divides the Earth into two equal halves. Other lines of latitude are smaller circles.
THE equator is the only line of latitude that is a great circle why?
The equator is the only line of latitude that is a great circle because it is the only line that divides the Earth into two equal halves. A great circle is the largest circle that can be drawn on a sphere, and the equator meets this criteria by encircling the Earth's widest point.
Is the Arctic Circle a latitude or longitude line?
it is a latitude
Why is there only one latitude line that can be a great circle?
The equator is a line of latitude that is a great circle. As you move in the direction of either the north pole or the south pole, away from the equator, you are then drawing a circle around only a fraction of the planet, rather than the full circumference. The lines of latitude get progressively smaller, until at the poles they collapse into mere points.
How many miles is a line of latitude?
-- Since every point on a line of latitude has the same latitude, the line has no thickness. -- Its length depends on its latitude. -- The line at zero latitude, known as the 'equator', is a great circle and so its length is the circumference of the Earth ... about 24,900 miles. -- Every other line of latitude is a small circle. Its length is 24,900 miles times the cosine of the latitude which it marks. -- The distance between any latitude and the one that's 1° north or south of it is about 111.1 kilometers (69 miles).
When you move away from the equator where do meridians go?
Meridians converge at the poles and intersect the equator at 90 degrees. They are all great circle lines called lines of longitude. The equator is a line of latitude and the only line of latitude that is a great circle line. As you move away from the equator the lines of latitude describe smaller and smaller circles round the planet as you approach the poles.
Is the Arctic Circle cold?
The Arctic Circle is a line of latitude. It has no temperature.
