Question

parallels of latitude (short note)​

Answer 1

Answer:

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°.

The five major parallels of latitudes from north to south are called: Arctic Circle, Tropic of Cancer, Equator, Tropic of Capricorn, and the Antarctic Circle. ... On a map where the orientation of the map is either due north or due south, latitude appears as horizontal lines.

Latitude is a measurement on a globe or map of location north or south of the Equator. ... As aids to indicate different latitudinal positions on maps or globes, equidistant circles are plotted and drawn parallel to the Equator and each other; they are known as parallels, or parallels of latitude.
