Answer 2

The four imaginary lines on the globe are the equator, the Tropic of Cancer, the Tropic of Capricorn, and the prime meridian.

Explanation:

• The equator is located at the latitude of 0°. It runs through Indonesia, Brazil, Congo, Ecuador, Kenya, and certain other countries. The Equator divides the earth into the northern and southern hemispheres.
• Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn lies at the latitude of 23.5°. The Tropic of Cancer is located to the north of the equator and the Tropic of Capricorn is located to the south of the equator. The reason for their location is that due to the tilt of the earth. These areas bounded by the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn are known as tropical areas.
• The Prime meridian is located at the longitude of 180° and divides the earth into the eastern and western hemispheres. The prime meridian is completely imaginary and does not have any significance to the location of the sun or its relationship with the earth.
