What distinguishes the northern parallels from the southern parallels?
an arrow pointing to the east
What are the opposite sides of a rectangle called?
parallels
Are all parallels equal?
Yes of course!
What lines of latittude are called?
Parallels of Latitude
The parallels above the equator are which direction?
north
Is latitude and parallels related?
Circles of latitude are also know as parallels.
Are circles of latitude and parallels of latitude the same?
Yes.
What parallel lines split the world?
"Parallels" or "Circles of Latitude".
Which parallels are not circles?
a cylinder
Parallels are imaginary circles around the globe that measures what?
Parallels are imaginary circles around the globe that measure latitude, which is the distance north or south of the equator. They help in locating positions on the Earth's surface and are often used as reference points in navigation and mapping.
Is another name for a line of latitude?
Linesof latitude are also known as circles of latitude or parallels.
What are the invisible lines the form east-west circles around earth called?
You're thinking of 'parallels of constant latitude'.
Which parallel of latitude are great circles?
All parallels of latitude, except for the Equator, are not great circles. Great circles are the largest circles that can be drawn on a sphere and pass through its center, whereas small circles do not pass through the center of the sphere.
What are the total number of parallels at an interval of 5 degree?
-- Since you're asking for "parallels", we know that the discussion concerns latitude.-- The total extent of latitude on the Earth is 180 degrees.-- The north and south poles are degenerate "parallels", i.e. circles with zero radiusat 90 degrees north and south latitude.-- If we draw in all the rest of the parallels between the poles at intervals of5 degrees, we'll need to draw 35 of them.
What line of latitude is most important?
The most important line of latitude is the Equator. Other important parallels are the Arctic and Antarctic Circles and the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn.
What is the most important line of latitude?
The most important line of latitude is the Equator. Other important parallels are the Arctic and Antarctic Circles and the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn.
Lines of latitude are also called what?
Parallels and meridians. Circles parallel to the Equator (lines running east and west) are parallels of latitude. They are used to measure degrees of latitude north or south of the Equator. Meridians of longitude are drawn from the North Pole to the South Pole and are at right angles to the Equator.
