The parallels are imaginary circles 

[?] to the Earth’s axis. As their name indicates, they are

parallel to each other. They measure [?] degrees.

The [?] is the largest of the parallels and divides the Earth into two [?]: Northern and Southern.

They have the following CHARACTERISTICS:

-They are parallel to each other

-Their number is [?].
-They have the direction of East-West.
-They are divided by the [?] at a right angle.
-They have a circumference of [?] degrees.

PRINCIPAL PARALLELS:

In the Northern Hemisphere:

The Tropic of [?]: 23° 27 'N.

The [?] Circle: 66 ° 33 'N.

In the Southern Hemisphere:

The Tropic of [?]: 23 º 27 'S.

The  Circle: 66 ° 33 'S.

The meridians are maximum imaginary semicircles drawn from the North Pole to the South

Pole. They measure [?] degrees.

The reference meridian (0 degrees) is the [?], a name that comes from an astrological

observatory located near _______(London).

CHARACTERISTICS:

The number of meridians is [?].

Their [?] is N-S.

Their point of maximum separation at the [?] and they converge at the poles.

They divide parallels in [?] angles.

The arch of the parallels has a value of [?] degrees.

 Time zones are each one of the [?] spherical sectors into which the Earth is divided. They
divide the [?] º of the Earth’s sphere between [?] hours that complete a full turn around the
Earth’s [?].

Each time zone measures [?] º (360º / 24 hours = 15º). 15º = [?] hour.

To calculate the time zone somewhere in the world, the [?] meridian is used as a reference
point.
From that point, one [?] one hour for each time zone that is traveled through towards the East
and one subtracts an hour each time zone that is traveled across towards the [?].
