If you start at the equator and travel 10 degrees NORTH latitude, approximately how many kilometers or miles north of the equator will you be? Take the circumference of the Earth o be 40,000 km (24,900 miles). Show your calculations.
24, 900/360=69.2 miles
40,000/360=111.1 km/degree=1111 km
If you travel west through 10 degrees of longitude along the equator, the distance traveled will be very different from the distance traveled through 10 degrees of longtitude at 60 degrees N latitude. Why?
Meridians converge toward the poles. And so are closer together at 60 degrees North than at 0 degrees.

Are all of the lines of latitude parallel to each other on both the globe and the Mercator projection?
Yes they are parallel to each other.
Do all parallels and meridians cross each other at right angles on both the globe and the Mercator?
Yes
On a globe, the meridians converge toward the poles. Describe the pattern of meridians on the Mercator.
They are all parallel to each other.
Is north always straight toward the top of the Mercator projection?
Yes
How would the North pole be represented of the Mercator projection?
A top edge or straight top.
Could a single graphic scale be used to measure distances on a Mercator projection? Explain.
No, distance scale changes toward the poles.
On an Eckert projection, do all of the parallels and meridians cross each other at right angles?
No, the lines curve.
How does the Eckert maintain equivalence in the high latitudes (what happens to the meridians?)
They curve or you can say meridians converge toward the poles.
What happens to the shape of Greenland on an Eckert projection?
It moves North and part of it looks cut off.
Is north always straight toward the top of the Eckert projection? Explain.
No, need to follow meridians around toward the North Pole.
What is the latitude of the vertical (direct) rays of the Sun?
23.5 degrees
What is the Latitude of the Tangent Rays in the Northern Hemisphere?
66.5 degrees
What is the Latitude of the Tangent Rays in the Southern Hemisphere?
66.5
Why is the June solstice associated with the Southern Hemisphere winter?
Because the sun is the lowest in the sky in the Southern Hemisphere.
Why does the equator receive equal day and night?
Because the circle of Illumination is bisecting all parallels which means that all latitudes are expecting 12 hours of day and night.
What happens to the length of day (the number of hours of daylight) as you move north of the equator?
the number of hours of daylight get longer.
Within which range of latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere is 24 hours of daylight experienced?
In the Arctic Circle area up North. or you can say 66.5 degrees north to north pole.
