Question

Which parallel bisects the earth?
(a) Tropic of Cancer (b) Tropic of Capricorn (c) Equator

Answer 1

Circles of Latitude happen to be make-believe east to west circles that join every place that has the identical latitude.

The plane of reference for every Circle of Latitude is the Circle of Latitude at 0 degree that bisects the Earth, called the Equator. Every Circle of Latitude run parallel to this circler and is perpendicular to every Longitude at the points of intersection.

A parallel gets smaller in the direction of the poles. Different from latitudes whose central Latitude is the equator the fixed point of reference for meridians is the prime meridian.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Equator is the parallel that bisects the earth.

Explanation:

• The rotation of the planet on its axis from west to the east provides two natural points of reference: the North and South Poles. They act as the foundation for the geographical grid.
• The positions of various features are established by creating a network of intersecting lines.
• The grid is composed of two sets of horizontal and vertical lines known as latitude parallels and longitude meridians respectively.
• Horizontal parallel lines are drawn in an east-west orientation.
• The imaginary line that passes through the middle of the North and South Poles is known as the equator.
• The equator, the globe's biggest circle, divides the planet into two equal half that is Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
