How many parallels are on the earth?
im thinking earth has about 4,000 parallels on it just kidding i need help with the same problem
Why aren't all parallels equal in length like meridians are?
There's a simple answer: The earth is a sphere and the parallels are, well, parallel to each other. So obviously the ones closer to the poles are shorter than the ones closest to the Ecuator. As for the meridians all meet at one point ehich are the poles, so they are all the same length.
What are parallels on a map?
Parallels are lines that run the same direction and are the always the same distance apart. On a map (and the Earth) the lines of latitude (measurement North and South of the equator) are parallel.
Which direction do parallels run?
Parallels run east-west on the globe, parallel to the equator. They are lines of latitude that measure the distance north or south of the equator.
Differences between parallels and meridians?
Parallels are lines of latitude that run parallel to the equator, while meridians are lines of longitude that run from the North Pole to the South Pole. Parallels measure distance north or south of the equator, while meridians measure distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. Together, parallels and meridians form a grid system used to locate points on the Earth's surface.
Imaginary lines connecting places of the same latitude are known as?
Imaginary lines connecting places of the same latitude are known as parallels. These lines run parallel to the Equator and help in measuring distances on the Earth's surface horizontally.
Is earth day the same around the world?
If you mean the length of the day, yes - that is the same around the Earth. The Earth rotates as a rigid body. If by day length you mean hours of sunlight. On the same lines of latitude day length will be the same, but due to the wobble in the rotation of the earth, day length is different along lines of longitude.
Lines of longitude called what?
Meridians of longitude; parallels of latitude. Remember that meridians are all the same length (20,000 km) and that they meet at the poles. Parallels are, well, parallel, and are different lengths, the longest being the Equator.

Does Earth has about the same length of day as Mars?
No, Earth has a slightly shorter day length compared to Mars. Earth has a day length of about 24 hours, whereas Mars has a day length of about 24.6 hours.
At which place on earth is the length of the day always same as the length of the night?
That would be the equator.
