Lines of latitude, which run east and west around the Earth, are labeled north of the equator. Some of the key parallels include:
Tropic of Cancer: This is located approximately 23.5 degrees north of the equator.
Arctic Circle: This is located at approximately 66.5 degrees north of the equator.
90th Parallel North: This is the North Pole, located at 90 degrees north of the equator.
These lines help define important geographic regions and climates based on their distance from the equator.
