$\mathbb{\huge{\fcolorbox{green}{pink}{SOLUTION :}}}</p><p>$

The lines running east to west, parallel to the Equator are called lines of latitude. A latitude is marked in degrees, with the Equator being 0 degrees. Latitudes are expressed in minutes (') and seconds (''). These lines show us the width of the map. Every latitude must be designated with direction- N for 'north' or S for 'south.' Equator is the largest among all the latitudes.

Answer 2

Answer:

The north pole and the south pole at 90

0N and 90

0S respectively are two

fixed points of the earth. They form the axis of the earth on which it

rotates. Other than the poles, there are five more latitudes with names.

These are called important or major latitudes. They are important because

they help us to classify climatic or heat zones on the globe. From north to

south they are:

(i) Arctic Circle at 661⁄2° north of the equator. Marks the northern limit

beyond which there can be daylight or darkness for more than 24 hours

(ii)Tropic of Cancer (231⁄2° N) in the Northern Hemisphere.Marks the

northern limit of the overhead rays of the sun

(iii) Equator 0    

0Divides the earth in northern & southern hemisphere

(iv)Tropic of Capricorn (231⁄2° S) in the Southern Hemisphere.Marks the

southern limit of the overhead rays of the sun

(v) Antarctic Circle at 661⁄2° south of the equator.Marks the southern limit

beyond which there can be daylight or darkness for more than 24 hours.
