Answer:
Answer 2 .
Latitude is the angular distance of a place north or south of the Equator. There are 180 parallels of latitudes apart from the Equator. Each parallel of latitude is a circle. Only the Equator is a Great Circle, all the rest of the latitudes are Small Circles
ANSWER 3 .
As Earth rotates on its axis, it moves about 15 degrees every 60 minutes. After 24 hours, it has completed a full rotation of 360 degrees. The scientists used this information to divide the planet into 24 sections or time zones. Each time zone is 15 degrees of longitude wide.
