No such thing. You should not get hung up on "lines".
That's like asking "What are the 12 lines on a ruler ?", as if half-inches
and quarter-inches and tenths-of-an-inch don't exist.
Latitude is a measurement. There are millions of possible numbers.
In fact, an infinite number of possibilities.
They print a FEW on maps and globes, at convenient intervals, just like inches on a ruler.
But that DOESN'T mean that no more exist.
Well there's the Arctic Circle, Antarctic Circle, Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn and the Equator.
Lines of constant latitude are parallel. No two of them meet anywhere.All lines of constant latitude cross all lines of constant longitude.
lines of latitude
Lines of latitude allow any position north or south of the Equator to be found with reasonably accuracy. Which, along with lines of longitude, are extremely important in the navigation of shipping.
You have answered the question for yourself ; They are 'Latitudes''. Longitudes (Meridians) are lines that run North to South from the North Pole to the South Pole. Longitudes come to a point at the poles, but spread out to a maximum at the Equator.
The other name that is used for lines latitude is parallels. The main latitude is the equator which is at zero degrees.
The equator is the origin for the lines of latitude
Well there's the Arctic Circle, Antarctic Circle, Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn and the Equator.
The lines that intercept latitude lines are lines of longitude.
The main line of latitude is called parallel. These lines would include the equator, Tropic of Capricorn, Tropic of Cancer, Antarctic Circle and the Arctic Circle.
Lines of latitude run parallel to the Equator (which is zero latitude).
latitude?
whats the principal lines of latitude
lines of latitude
lines of latitude
No, lines of latitude do not intersect.
lines of latitude and lines of longitude are the same because they just are.
