Answer 1

Well, there is the Equator at 0°, Arctic Circle 66.5°N, Tropic of Cancer 23.4°N, Tropic of Capricorn 23.4°S, and Antarctic Circle 66.5°S.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

The North Pole (90ºN) & the South Pole (90ºS) are important Latitudes, since the location of the Equator is obtained from these two fixed points.

The Equator (0º) divides the Earth into two hemispheres, the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere, All the lines of latitude are calculated from it.

The Tropic of Cancer (231/2ºN) & The Tropic of Capricorn (231/2ºS) mark the limits of the apparent northward and southward movements of the Sun in course of a year.

The Arctic Circle (661/2ºN) & The Antarctic Circle (661/2ºS) mark the limits of the Polar Regions. In both the hemispheres, places lying between the Poles and these latitudes, experience 24 hours of daylight in summer and 24 hours of darkness in winter.
