Thank You and I did some more questions. Can you check them?
1. Is the Antarctic Circle north or south of the equator?
South of the equator
2. All lines of longitude are measured east and west of what imaginary line? The Prime Meridian.
Ms. Sue the 9th grade Algebra question I had the other day was not corrected by my teacher yet. When it is I will let you know if I got it right because I went with my answer I originally had gotten that was different from yours. Thanks Again!
Your geography answers are right.
My algebra knowledge is not nearly as good as my geography skills. Please let me know the problem and its answer when you get it corrected by the teacher.
Did you see Reiny's answer? He is a math teacher -- and therefore is answer is probably right.

1. Correct! The Antarctic Circle is indeed south of the equator. To determine this, you can visualize the globe and notice that the equator is an imaginary line that runs horizontally around the middle of the Earth. The Antarctic Circle, on the other hand, is a circle of latitude located at approximately 66.5 degrees South. Since it is below the equator, it is south of it.
2. Correct again! All lines of longitude, also known as meridians, are measured east and west of an imaginary line called the Prime Meridian. The Prime Meridian runs vertically through Greenwich, London, and serves as the starting point for measuring longitude. Meridians to the east of the Prime Meridian are measured in degrees east, while meridians to the west are measured in degrees west.
I'm glad I could help with your questions! If you have any more, feel free to ask.
