what is the length between latitude and Antarctic circle ?
Answers
The circles are imaginary lines that surround the north and south poles at 66.5 degrees latitude. The Arctic Circle is a line of latitude at 66.5 degrees north of the equator and the Antarctic Circle is a line of latitude at 66.5 degrees south.
Answer:
Latitude
While lines of latitude run across a map east-west, the latitude indicates the north-south position of a point on earth.
Lines of latitude start at 0 degrees at the equator and end at 90 degrees at the North and South Poles (for a total to 180 degrees of latitude). Therefore, the higher the value of degree of latitude, the closer it is to the North or South Pole.

Everything north of the equator is known as the Northern Hemisphere and everything south of the equator is known as the Southern Hemisphere.
Distance Between Lines of Latitude
Lines of latitude are called parallels and in total there are 180 degrees of latitude. The distance between each degree of latitude is about 69 miles (110 kilometers).
