What is another name for a line of latidude?

Latitude is used to measure how far north or south a location is, based on its distance from the equator, which is the imaginary line (or circle) that runs around the earth, equally distant from the north and the south poles. (The Equator gets its name from being EQUAL distance apart from the poles). \n\nFrom the Equator to the north pole, the distance is broken into 90 degrees of measurement, and likewise, from the Equator to the South Pole.\n\nWhile the Equator and other "lines of latitude" help measure  north-south location, the lines themselves extend in the east-west direction as they represent every point on the earth that is that distance from the equator. These lines are often called PARALLELS, because they are all parallel to the equator. You can have a parallel at any measure of latitude, such as the 10 degrees north parallel or the 42 degrees south parallel. \n\nSome parallels have special names. Besides the Equator, there are four parallels which have significance for the earth's rotation and seasons. In the northern hemisphere, the Tropic of Cancer is the line or circle of latitude that is 23.5 degrees north, and the Arctic Circle is 66.5 degrees north. In the southern hemisphere, the Tropic of Capricorn is 23.5 degrees south, and the Antarctic Circle is 66.5 degrees south. Because the earth's axis is at an angle to the sun, we have seasons, and these lines show where the sun's location will be or not be on particular seasonal changes. Use the first link to learn more about these lines.\n\nOther parallels have historical significance. When the Korean War ended in a stalemate, the country was divided into North and South Korea roughly along the 38th parallel (that means everything north of the 38 degrees north parallel belonged to North Korea, and everything south of  that parallel belonged to South Korea). In the 1800s, the 49th parallel (north) is what was used to determine the boundary between the United States and the British colony of Canada, west of the Great Lakes, and so most of the current US-Canada border is a line along the 49th parallel.\n\nAll lines (or circles) of latitude can be called parallels.

You need to know the length of a line if you want to know the amount that it departs or its longitude. \n\nIf you want to know where on the globe that is... its someplace between seattle, washington and portland, oregon

I havent a clue what your are asking... are we talking about astronomy terms?  Elevation and declination?  Or are you asting about Lattitude and Longitude?

15 cm and 8 cm are the lenghts of what line?? you need to give us two points.. otherwise it could refer to two different lines

a circle has infinite lines of symmetry\n\nso does a straight line\n\nso does a sin wave\n\nthere are many figures that have infinit lines of symmetry\na more interesting question might be whether there are an infinite\nnumber of figures that have infinite lines of symmetry. (there are)

International date line, located in the Pacific Ocean.  It's not a specific longitude, but drawn, I think, to miss any islands.\n\nThe International Date Line is the imaginary line on the Earth that separates two consecutive calendar days. That is the date in the Eastern hemisphere, to the left of the line, is always one day ahead of the date in the Western hemisphere. It has been recognized as a matter of convenience and has no force in international law.
