Q

The parallel of latitude at 23° 27' S is the __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• parallels of latitude and how they are measured north or south of the equator • the names and approximate latitudes of the major circles of latitude: Tropics and Polar Circles • which tropic or circle is associated with the southern hemisphere at about 23° 27'

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: which of these named lines is located around 23° 27' and in which hemisphere? • Separate the options into: tropics near 23° (both north and south) and polar circles near about 66° (both north and south). Which group does 23° 27' fit into? • Think about whether "ecliptic" is a line on the Earth’s surface or something defined in space relative to the Sun and Earth’s orbit.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which named line is at 23° 27' SOUTH specifically, not north. • Confirm that the Arctic Circle is a high-latitude circle near the North Pole, not near 23°. • Check whether the ecliptic is a terrestrial latitude line or an orbital plane in astronomy.
