The41st parallel south is acircle of latitude that is 41degreessouth of theEarth'sequatorial plane. It crosses theAtlantic Ocean, theIndian Ocean,Australasia, thePacific Ocean andSouth America.
At this latitude thesun is visible for 15 hours, 8 minutes during theDecember solstice and 9 hours, 13 minutes during theJune solstice.
Starting at thePrime Meridian and heading eastwards, the parallel 41° south passes through:
The42nd parallel south is acircle of latitude that is 42degreessouth of theEarth'sequatorial plane. It crosses theAtlantic Ocean, theIndian Ocean,Australasia, thePacific Ocean andSouth America.
At this latitude thesun is visible for 15 hours, 15 minutes during theDecember solstice and 9 hours, 7 minutes during theJune solstice.
The alcohol brand42 Below was named in part because the 42nd parallel South passes through New Zealand.
Starting at thePrime Meridian and heading eastwards, the parallel 42° south passes through:
The43rd parallel south is acircle of latitude that is 43degreessouth of theEarth'sequatorial plane. It crosses theAtlantic Ocean, theIndian Ocean,Australasia, thePacific Ocean andSouth America.
On December solstice thesun is at 70.83 degrees in the sky and on June solstice it is at 23.17 degrees.
At this latitude the sun is visible for 15 hours, 22 minutes during theSummer Solstice and 9 hours, 0 minutes during theWinter Solstice.
Starting at thePrime Meridian and heading eastwards, the parallel 43° south passes through:
The44th parallel south is acircle of latitude that is 44degreessouth of theEarth'sequatorial plane. It crosses theAtlantic Ocean, theIndian Ocean,Australasia, thePacific Ocean andSouth America.
At this latitude the sun is visible for 15 hours, 29 minutes during theDecember solstice and 8 hours, 53 minutes during theJune solstice.
Starting at thePrime Meridian and heading eastwards, the parallel 44° south passes through:
The45th parallel south is acircle of latitude that is 45°south of theEarth'sequator.
It is the line that marks the theoretical halfway point between theequator and theSouth Pole. The true halfway point is 16.2 km (10.1 mi) south of this parallel becauseEarth is not a perfectsphere, butbulges at the equator and isflattened at the poles.[3]
Unlike itsnorthern counterpart, almost all (97%) of it passes through open ocean. It crosses theSouth Atlantic Ocean, theIndian Ocean,Australasia (New Zealand and just south ofTasmania), theSouthern Ocean, andPatagonia.
At this latitude,daytime lasts for 15 hours, 37 minutes during theDecember solstice and 8 hours, 46 minutes during theJune solstice for the dates in 2024.[4] This holds true regardless of longitude. Themidday Sun stands 21.17° above the northern horizon at theJune solstice, 68.83° at theDecember solstice, and exactly 45.0° at eitherequinox.
Starting at thePrime Meridian and heading eastwards, the parallel 45° south passes through:
