<h2>ANSWER </h2>

<h2>Latitude</h2>

Lines of latitude circle the Earth in an east-west direction. They are parallel.

They are different lengths, eg:

the equator is 40,075 km long
the Antarctic circle is 17,662 km long
the South Pole is 0 km long

<h3>Important lines of latitude:</h3>

the equator (0°)
the Tropic of Cancer (23.5° north)
the Tropic of Capricorn (23.5° south)
the Arctic circle (66.5° north)
the Antarctic circle (66.5° south)
the North Pole (90° north)
the South Pole (90° south)

Latitude and longitude make up the grid system that helps us identify absolute, or exact, locations on the Earth's surface. You can use latitude and longitude to identify specific locations. Latitude and longitude are also helpful in identifying landmarks.

________________________________

Latitude plays an important role in determining the climate of a region. The Earth is spherical in shape, and the curvature increases with the latitude. The amount of solar energy and heat received from the Sun decreases as we go to higher latitudes or as we go away from the Equator toward the poles.

Explanation:

Compromise is defined as an agreement, usually when settling a dispute, reached by each side making concessions.
