Question

How much is the distance between two parallels?

Answer 1

The distance doesn't matter as long as the two lines can continue indefinitely in either direction and never intersect.

Answer 2

10?

Answer 3

it depends. there are many parallel lines on the globe of earth. what 2 lines are u refering abt??

Answer 4

If you mean 2 parallels of latitude, 1 degree or 60 nautical miles.

Answer 5

any

Answer 6

Aditi is almost correct. Although there is 360 degrees is a circle, the North Pole is at 90 degrees N and the South Pole is at 90 degrees south so we consider only 180 degrees.

If her calculations are correct and her other information, there is 222 km between two paralles with a difference of 1 degree.

Answer 7

could be any length

Answer 8

| |  <-those are parallel. there isone space between them.

|        .     .     | <-those are parallel. there are many spaces between them.

(ignore the periods)

---> there is no set distance betweeen two parallels.

Answer 9

111 Kilometre

as

Circumference of The Earth is 40,077km

Therefore,360 degrees=40077km

1degree=40077/360degree

            =111 km

It is always equual because as there are parallel to each other,the distance between them is always equal.

Answer 10

Answer 11

it depends on the parallels

Answer 12
