Question

Which of the following is true about the lines of Latitude?

Options

• They are imaginary lines

• They are parallel to the Equator

• They reduce in length as we go towards the poles.

• All of the above

Answer 1

All of the above

Explanation:

1. Imaginary lines: Lines of latitude are imaginary lines drawn on the Earth's surface, running parallel to the Equator.
2. Parallel to the Equator: All lines of latitude are parallel to the Equator, and they are equidistant from each other.
3. Reduce in length towards the poles: As you move from the Equator towards the poles, the distance between lines of latitude decreases, and the length of these lines reduces, with the shortest being at the poles.

Hence, all the statements are true about the lines of latitude.
