What are parallels of latitude?
Parallels of latitude are imaginary, circular parallel lines drawn horizontally between both the poles and the Equator. These lines run from west to east, as in the direction of the Earth’s rotation.
Some of the important parallels of latitude are as follows:
1. The parallel of 23½°N is called the Tropic of Cancer.
2. The parallel of 23½° S is called the Tropic of Capricorn.
3. The parallel of 66½° N is called the Arctic Circle.
4. The parallel of 66½°S is called the Antarctic Circle.
