Answers
Answer:
the distance of a place north or south of the line that we imagine around the middle of the earth (the equator) is called latitudes.
Features of latitudes are:
1.Latitude is the angular distance of a place north or south of the Equator.
2.There are 180 parallels of latitudes apart from the Equator.
3.Each parallel of latitude is a circle.
4.Only the Equator is a Great Circle, all the rest of the latitudes are Small Circles.
The seven important lines of latitude are the equator at 0 degrees, Tropic of Capricorn at 23.5 degrees south, Tropic of Cancer at 23.5 degrees north, Antarctic Circle at 66.5 degrees south, Arctic Circle at 66.5 degrees north, the South Pole at 90 degrees south and the North Pole at 90 degrees north.
Answer:
Latitudes are the imaginary horizontal lines that run around the earth to make it easy to locate places.
Equator is 0 degrees
Arctic circle 66.5 degrees north
Antarctic circle 66.5 degrees south
Tropic of Cancer 23.5 degrees north
Tropic of Capricorn 23.5 degrees south
