Question

what are the parallels of lattitudes?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Latitude is the measurement of distance north or south of the Equator. It is measured with 180 imaginary lines that form circles around the Earth east-west, parallel to the Equator. These lines are known as parallels. A circle of latitude is an imaginary ring linking all points sharing a parallel.

Answer 2

*Parallels of latitudes can be referred to as the parallel circles from the equator up to the poles.

*They are usually measured in degrees.

*The equator depicts the zero degrees latitude. 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°. Thus, 90 degrees towards north latitude marks the North Pole and 90 degrees towards south latitude marks the South Pole.

*Some vital Parallels of Latitudes with reference to earth are listed below

*Tropic of Cancer in the Northern Hemisphere measuring around 23½° N

*Tropic of Capricorn in the Southern Hemisphere measuring around 23½° S.

*Arctic Circle which is at 66½° north of the equator.

*Antarctic Circle which is at 66½° south of the equator.
