Answer:

C. An imaginary line that splits Earth in half between the North Pole and the South Pole

Explanation:

The 0-degree latitude line is the equator. It is the only line of latitude that is a great circle. The equator divides the earth equally between the North Pole and the South pole.

Places above the equator are the northern hemisphere whereas, those below fall into the southern hemisphere.

The equator is the only known great circle.
All other lines of latitudes are small circles.
Most places along the equator usually have the sun overhead and receive direct insolation.

Other choices are wrong;

The northernmost point on earth is the north pole
An imaginary line that runs through Greenwich in London is the Prime meridian
The southernmost point of Earth is the south pole.

How do you know that the season where you live has changed, say from winter to spring or from summer to fall? List four evidence

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Why do we have seasons?

The Earth is tilted 23.5 degrees on its axis, which affects the distribution of the sun’s energy across the surface of the planet. As the Earth orbits the sun every 365 ¼ days, the axis is always pointing in the same direction into space, with the North Pole toward Polaris, the North Star. Around June 22, the northern hemisphere is angled towards the sun, and receives the most direct radiation and the most energy. This is the start of astronomical summer in the northern hemisphere and winter in the southern hemisphere.

I hope this helps...
