Geocache Description:


EN

Please stop if you go from Bucharest to Brasov. DO NOT stop if you move in the other direction.

The 45th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 45 degrees north of Earth's equator. 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 16.0 km (9.9 mi) north of the 45th parallel because Earth is an oblate spheroid; that is, it bulges at the equator and is flattened at the poles.

At this latitude, the Sun is visible for 15 hours 37 minutes during the summer solstice, and 8 hours 46 minutes during the winter solstice. The midday Sun stands 21.6° above the southern horizon at the December solstice, 68.4° at the June solstice, and exactly 45.0° at either equinox.

Va rog sa opriti doar daca mergeti pe directia Bucuresti - Brasov. NU opriti daca circulati in cealalta directie.

Paralela 45 Nord este un cerc de latitudine a Pământului situat la 45 de grade Nord de planul ecuator (în emisfera nordică), însă nu la mijlocul distanței dintre Ecuator și Polul Nord, motivul fiind faptul că Pământul nu este o sferă perfectă ci este ușor bombat la Ecuator și turtit la poli din cauza forței centrifuge determinată de rotația Pământului în jurul propriei axe.
