Question

the length of the parallel decrease as we move away from the equator why?​

Answer 1

Answer:The biggest circumference is at the equator because diameter is the longest straight line on the circle. But as we move away from equator the circumference keeps on decreasing. That is the reason, the length of a parallel increases as we move away from the poles towards the equator

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

In any sphere the circumference is lengthier at 0°. So equator is lengthiest latitude and the degree increases or move away from equator to pole the circumference of globe decreases hence latitudinal length also decreases. The length of a parallel increases as we move away from the poles towards the equator.
