<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.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • • ⭐︿︿︿︿︿︿︿︿︿︿︿︿︿ • •⭐

Greek mythology is one of the most

$\red{☆}$ interesting when investigating the history of their gods. Today we bring you that of Prometheus, one of the titans that, although it may surprise, has no equivalent in the Roman pantheon. He was famous for being the friend of mortals, his arrival of fire being his. This made Zeus angry, as fire was a good of the gods, punishing him for all eternity.

$\purple{☆}$ Zeus went to Hephaestus to start his revenge. He ordered him to create a woman out of clay, which he gave life to once he was finished. Hermes, the messenger of the gods, by order of Zeus brought this new creature before Epimetheus, the brother of Prometheus. The woman was Pandora, bearer of a box that kept all the evils that existed.
$\green{☆}$ Epimetheus, despite his brother's warnings, fell in love with her, who opened the box, releasing everything that was inside. In this way Zeus avenged himself on Prometheus and the human being, who indirectly entered into this divine dispute.

$\orange{☆}$ The punishment of Prometheus But not content with it, Zeus still had one last torture in store for Prometheus. He called again Hephaestus to chain the titan on top of a mountain, where an eagle (symbol of Zeus) lived. The eagle ate the liver of Prometheus who, being immortal, regenerated the organ. He was like this for a long time, until Heracles freed him by killing the bird.
$\pink{☆}$ Zeus did not retaliate against him, letting him go. As a token of gratitude, he told Heracles where he could obtain the golden apples of the Hesperides. Thus the history of the 12 tests was enlarged. Despite his release, the titan had to carry the rest of the time with a ring attached to the rock to which he was chained.
