Question

1. Write a short note on Parallels of Latitudes.
2. write a short note on meridians of longitude.​

Answer 1

1. Parallels of latitudes can be referred to as the parallel circles from the equator up to the poles. Its distance from the equator to either of the poles is almost one-fourth of a circle round the earth, it will measure ¼th of 360 degrees, that is 90°
2. Parallels of latitudes can be referred to as the parallel circles from the equator up to the poles. Its distance from the equator to either of the poles is almost one-fourth of a circle round the earth, it will measure ¼th of 360 degrees, that is 90°Longitude is measured by imaginary lines that run around the Earth vertically (up and down) and meet at the North and South Poles. These lines are known as meridians. Each meridian measures one arcdegree of longitude. The distance around the Earth measures 360 degrees.
