Question

why does the length of a parallel decrease as we move from equator to poles?

please tell me fast​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The length of the parallel increases as we move away from the poles towards the Equator because the Earth is spherical in shape and the circumference of the earth increases as we move towards the Equator.

Answer 2

As we move away from the equator, the size of the latitudes Decreases.

In any sphere the circumference is lengthier at 0°. So equator is lengthiest latitude and the degree increases or move away from equator to pole the circumference of globe decreases hence latitudinal length also decreases. The length of a parallel increases as we move away from the poles towards the equator.
