45th parallel north
The
45th parallel north
is a
circle of latitude
that is 45
degrees
north
of the
Earth's
equatorial plane
. It crosses
Europe
,
Asia
, the
Pacific Ocean
,
North America
, and the
Atlantic Ocean
. The 45th parallel north is often called the halfway point between the
Equator
and the
North Pole
, but the true halfway point is actually north of the 45th parallel because the
Earth
is
oblate
, that is, it bulges at the equator and is flattened at the poles.
