The 45th parallel north is often called the halfway point between the equator and the North Pole, but the true halfway point is 16.0 km (9.9 mi) north of it (approximately between 45°08'36" and 45°08'37") because Earth is an oblate spheroid; that is, it bulges at the equator and is flattened at the poles.

In Africa, the parallel defines most of the border between Egypt and Sudan.The eastern part of the border is disputed. The 22nd parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 22 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane.
The division of Earth by the Equator and the prime meridian Map roughly depicting the Eastern and Western hemispheres. In geography and cartography, hemispheres of Earth are any division of the globe into two equal halves (hemispheres), typically divided into northern and southern halves by the Equator and into western and eastern halves by the Prime meridian.
Countries and territories that are intersected by the equator (red) or the Prime Meridian (blue), which intersect at "Null Island". The equator during the boreal winter, spanning from December to March. The equator is the circle of latitude that divides Earth into the Northern and Southern hemispheres.
The 37th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 37 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane.It crosses Europe, the Mediterranean Sea, Africa, Asia, the Pacific Ocean, North America, and the Atlantic Ocean.
The 42nd parallel north defining borders between states in the United States Crossing the parallel in Girard, Pennsylvania. The parallel 42° north forms most of the New York–Pennsylvania border, although due to imperfect surveying in 1785–1786, this boundary wanders around on both sides of the true parallel.
The 38th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 38 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane.It crosses Europe, the Mediterranean Sea, Asia, the Pacific Ocean, North America, and the Atlantic Ocean.
