c. Answer the following.
1. Name the important latitudes.
2. What is the other name for latitude line at o degree?
3. What is Prime Meridian ?
4. What are latitudes and longitudes? How are they different?
5. How do the latitudes and longitudes divide the globe ? Name the parts.
Answers
Answer:
1. Important lines of latitude:
the equator (0°)
the Tropic of Cancer (23.5° north)
the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5° south)
the Arctic circle (66.5° north)
the Antarctic circle (66.5° south)
the North Pole (90° north)
the South Pole (90° south)
2. Equator
The Equator is the line of 0 degrees latitude. Each parallel measures one degree north or south of the Equator, with 90 degrees north of the Equator and 90 degrees south of the Equator. The latitude of the North Pole is 90 degrees N, and the latitude of the South Pole is 90 degrees S.
3. a planet's meridian adopted as the zero of longitude.
4. Latitude implies the geographic coordinates that determine the distance of a point, north-south of the equator. Longitude alludes to the geographic coordinate, which identifies the distance of a point, east-west of the Prime Meridian.
5. The Prime Meridian divides the globe into two equal halves, the Eastern Hemisphere and the Northern Hemisphere. The longitude of a place is followed by E for east and W for west. 180° E and 180° W are on the same line. The vertical lines on a globe represent lines of latitudes.

if u think my answer is correct pls mark as brainliest
if not don't mark it as brainliest
and sorry to waste ur time if the answer is wrong
Answer:
1.equator (0°)
the Tropic of Cancer
the Tropic of Capricorn
the Arctic circle
the Antarctic circle
the North Pole
the South Pole
2.Prime Meridian
3.A planet's meridian adopted as the zero of longitude
4.Latitude implies the geographic coordinates that determine the distance of a point, north-south of the equator. Longitude alludes to the geographic coordinate, which identifies the distance of a point, east-west of the Prime Meridian
DIFFERENCES:
Latitude
It run east to west
There are 181 lines of latitudes
The largest latitude equator divides the earth into northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere.
They are parallel and never meet each other.
Longitude
It run north to south
There are 360 lines of longitudes.
The longitude prime meridian divides the earth into eastern hemisphere and western hemisphere.
They are not parallel and meet at poles
5.The Prime Meridian divides the globe into two equal halves, the Eastern Hemisphere and the Northern Hemisphere. The longitude of a place is followed by E for east and W for west. 180° E and 180° W are on the same line. The vertical lines on a globe represent lines of latitudes.
