List Of Circles Of Latitude
__FORCETOC__ This article contains a list of circles of latitude on Earth. Equator The equator, a circle of latitude that divides a spheroid, such as Earth, into the northern and southern hemispheres. On Earth, it is an imaginary line located at 0 degrees latitude. 1st parallel *1st parallel north, a circle of latitude in the Northern Hemisphere. * 1st parallel south, a circle of latitude in the Southern Hemisphere. 2nd parallel *2nd parallel north, a circle of latitude in the Northern Hemisphere. *2nd parallel south, a circle of latitude in the Southern Hemisphere. 3rd parallel *3rd parallel north, a circle of latitude in the Northern Hemisphere. *3rd parallel south, a circle of latitude in the Southern Hemisphere. 4th parallel *4th parallel north, a circle of latitude in the Northern Hemisphere. * 4th parallel south, a circle of latitude in the Southern Hemisphere. 5th parallel *5th parallel north, a circle of latitude in the Northern Hemisphere. * 5th parall ...

Circles Of Latitude
A circle of latitude or line of latitude on Earth is an abstract east–west small circle connecting all locations around Earth (ignoring elevation) at a given latitude coordinate line. Circles of latitude are often called parallels because they are parallel to each other; that is, planes that contain any of these circles never intersect each other. A location's position along a circle of latitude is given by its longitude. Circles of latitude are unlike circles of longitude, which are all great circles with the centre of Earth in the middle, as the circles of latitude get smaller as the distance from the Equator increases. Their length can be calculated by a common sine or cosine function. The 60th parallel north or south is half as long as the Equator (disregarding Earth's minor flattening by 0.335%). On the Mercator projection or on the Gall-Peters projection, a circle of latitude is perpendicular to all meridians. On the ellipsoid or on spherical projection, all ...
