The lines don't measure anything, any more than the marks on a ruler do any
measuring for you.
Latitude is an angle on the Earth's surface. It's the angle, measured north or south,
from the equator to whatever location you want to talk about. On a map or globe,
there may be some lines printed along the way, to help estimate the angle.
What else can I help you with?
Which direction do parallels run?
Parallels would be 2 or more lines that run in the same direction and do not intersect.
What is another name for lines of latitude do these lines run in a north-south or east-west direction?
Lines of latitude, also know as parallels, run east-west. They measure the angular distance north and south of the equator.
What is another name for latitude?
Sometimes they will be called parallels. The middle is the equator (as you know.).
Which directions does lines of latitude or parallels measure distances?
in the way of which the degree of a line travels
What is also known as parallels?
Parallels are also called lines of constant latitude, on maps and globes.
Which direction do parallels run?
Parallels would be 2 or more lines that run in the same direction and do not intersect.
What is another name for lines of latitude do these lines run in a north-south or east-west direction?
Lines of latitude, also know as parallels, run east-west. They measure the angular distance north and south of the equator.
Parallels are used to measure longitude or latitude?
latitude longitudes are known as meridians
What are the lines called that run around the Earth in an east-west direction?
They are sometimes called "parallels of latitude", or just "latitude lines". The east-west lines on the map measure the latitude in degrees north or south of the equator.
What lines called that run around the earth in an east-west direction?
They are sometimes called "parallels of latitude", or just "latitude lines". The east-west lines on the map measure the latitude in degrees north or south of the equator.
What is another name for latitude?
Sometimes they will be called parallels. The middle is the equator (as you know.).
What are earth's parallels called?
Earth's parallels are called lines of latitude. They are imaginary lines that run parallel to the equator and are used to measure the distance north or south of the equator in degrees.
What is another name for lines of latitude is these lines run in north south or east west direction?
Lines of latitude, also know as parallels, run east-west. They measure the angular distance north and south of the equator.
Parallels measure distance from the equator to this?
Parallels measure distance from the equator to the poles, specifically the North and South Poles. They are lines of latitude, with the equator at 0 degrees latitude and the poles at 90 degrees latitude. Each degree of latitude corresponds to approximately 69 miles (111 kilometers) on the Earth's surface.
Which directions does lines of latitude or parallels measure distances?
in the way of which the degree of a line travels
What is also known as parallels?
Parallels are also called lines of constant latitude, on maps and globes.
What is another name for latitude lines?
Another name for latitude lines is parallels. These lines run parallel to the equator and are used to measure how far north or south a location is from the equator.
