Terms in this set 7 North Pole. Arctic Circle. Tropic of Cancer. Tropic of Capricorn. Parallel lines are two lines that are always the same distance apart and never touch. In order for two lines to be parallel , they must be drawn in the same plane, a perfectly flat surface like a wall or sheet of paper. Any line that has the same slope as the original will never intersect with it. Parallel , imaginary line extending around the Earth parallel to the equator; it is used to indicate latitude.
See latitude and longitude. Which type of imaginary line runs parallel to the equator on a map? Category: science geography.

What are the 7 major lines of latitude? The Equator separates the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Areas on the Equator have a constant 12 hours of day light all year round. In summer, the regions north of the Arctic Circle enjoy between one and two months of Midnight Sun — 24 hours of sunlight due to the relative tilt of the Earth towards the Sun.
It is the opposite below the Antarctic circle South Pole. In winter, the regions north of the Arctic Circle experience a hour period when the sun never rises above the horizon. This is known as the Polar Night. If you cut a round fruit into two, each half is a hemisphere. This weather pattern of the southern hemisphere has no parallel in the north. An equator is an imaginary line around the middle of a planet or other celestial body.
It is halfway between the North Pole and the South Pole, at 0 degrees latitude. An equator divides the planet into a Northern Hemisphere and a Southern Hemisphere.
The Equator divides the earth into two equal halves called hemispheres. Begin typing your search term above and press enter to search. Press ESC to cancel.
