There are five important parallels of latitudes. They are:
- Equator
- Tropic of Cancer
- Tropic of Capricorn
- Arctic Circle
- Antarctic Circle
What else can I help you with?
Do parallels circle earth from west to east?
Yes, they do. The lines of latitude are sometimes called parallels.
Parallels of circle Earth from east to west?
Latitude. Tropic of Cancer
Between what 2 parallels of latitude is Italy situated?
Italy is between latitude 36.6° in the south and 45.6° in the north. The longitude range is 6.6° in the west 18.4° in the east.
Imaginary line around which the earth rotates?
It is called the Equator and the closer you get to it the hotter the countries start becoming.
What are the two kinds of line in map eh?
They are Lines of Latitude (or Parallels of Latitude), which encircle the world horizontally and are parallel to the Equator (Zero Latitude). Lines of Longitude run vertically from the North Pole to the South Pole. The Prime Meridian is Zero Longitude, and the line passes through the Greenwich Observatory, Greenwich, London, England.
Another name for the lines of latitude?
The other name that is used for lines latitude is parallels. The main latitude is the equator which is at zero degrees.
Is latitude and parallels related?
Circles of latitude are also know as parallels.
Another name for line of latitude?
parallels is the name
Are circles of latitude and parallels of latitude the same?
Yes.
What is the nick name for the latitude lines?
"parallels" of latitude
What are Imaginary lines which run at right angles to the equator?
They are lines of constant latitude, all parallel to the equator.
What is the name for a line of latitude?
'Lines' of latitude are often called 'parallels' of latitude.
Why are parallels important?
They are lines of Latitude.
What else can latitude be called?
parallels
What is another name for latitude?
Sometimes they will be called parallels. The middle is the equator (as you know.).
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 are synonyms of latitude lines?
Flat, they run straight across, horizontal!Those words came to my mind!============================Only if you hold your map with north either up or down.Regardless of how you hold your map, lines of latitude are parallelto each other, and are often called 'parallels' of latitude.
