10th parallel north (interactive map)

The10th parallel north is acircle of latitude that is 10degreesnorth of theEarth'sequatorial plane. It crossesAfrica, theIndian Ocean, theIndian subcontinent,Southeast Asia, thePacific Ocean,Central America,South America, and theAtlantic Ocean.

At this latitude thesun is visible for 12 hours, 43 minutes during thesummer solstice and 11 hours, 33 minutes during thewinter solstice.^[4]

On 21 June, the maximum altitude of the sun is 103.44 degrees and 56.56 degrees on 21 December. In this case an angle larger than 90° means that the culmination takes place at a maximum altitude of 76.56 degrees in the opposite cardinal direction. In the northern torrid zone, the Sun remains in the south during winter, but can reach over the zenith to the north in midsummer.

A section ofthe border betweenGuinea andSierra Leone is defined by the parallel.

TheTen Degree Channel in theIndian Ocean is named after the parallel.

Starting at thePrime Meridian and heading eastwards, the parallel 10° north passes through:
