Circles of latitude
Following are circles of latitude between the 45th parallel north and the 50th parallel north :
46th parallel north [ edit ] In the United States , the parallel defines part of the border between Washington and Oregon . In the Kazakhstan , the parallel defines part of the border between Karaganda Region , South Kazakhstan Region and Jambyl Region . The 46th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 46 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane . It crosses Europe , Asia , the Pacific Ocean , North America , and the Atlantic Ocean .
At this latitude the sun is visible for 15 hours, 45 minutes during the summer solstice and 8 hours, 38 minutes during the winter solstice .
Starting at the Prime Meridian and heading eastwards, the parallel 46° north passes through:
47th parallel north [ edit ] The 47th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 47 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane . It crosses Europe , Asia , the Pacific Ocean , North America , and the Atlantic Ocean .
At this latitude the sun is visible for 15 hours, 54 minutes during the summer solstice and 8 hours, 31 minutes during the winter solstice .[ 1] θ Scorpii and thus of the 'tail' of the constellation Scorpius .
Starting at the Prime Meridian and heading eastwards, the parallel 47° north passes through:
48th parallel north [ edit ] The 48th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 48 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane . It crosses Europe , Asia , the Pacific Ocean , North America , and the Atlantic Ocean .
In Canada the parallel forms part of the border between Quebec and New Brunswick .
Ships heading north along the coast of Washington toward the Strait of Juan de Fuca must make radio contact with Canadian Coast Guard vessel traffic service upon crossing the 48th parallel.
At this latitude the sun is visible for 16 hours, 3 minutes during the summer solstice and 8 hours, 22 minutes during the winter solstice . If the latitude in the northern hemisphere is 48o50' or smaller, it is possible to view both astronomical dawn and dusk every day of the month of July. At the latitude of 48°33′38.58804" North, which is about 62.3 km (38.7 mi) north of this parallel, is the parallel where twilight /nighttime boundary on the June Solstice.[ 2]

49th parallel north [ edit ] The 49th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 49° north of Earth 's equator . It crosses Europe , Asia , the Pacific Ocean , North America , and the Atlantic Ocean .
The city of Paris is about 15 km (9 mi) south of the 49th parallel and is the largest city between the 48th and 49th parallels. Its main airport, Charles de Gaulle Airport , lies on the parallel.
Roughly 2,030 kilometres (1,260 mi)[ 3] Canada–United States border was designated to follow the 49th parallel from British Columbia to Manitoba on the Canada side, and from Washington to Minnesota on the U.S. side, more specifically from the Strait of Georgia to the Lake of the Woods . This international border was specified in the Anglo-American Convention of 1818 and the Oregon Treaty of 1846, though survey markers placed in the 19th century cause the border to deviate from the 49th parallel by up to 810 metres (2,660 ft).
From a point on the ground at this latitude, the sun is above the horizon for 16 hours, 12 minutes during the summer solstice and 8 hours, 14 minutes during the winter solstice .[ 4]
This latitude also roughly corresponds to the minimum latitude in which astronomical twilight can last all night near the summer solstice. All-night astronomical twilight lasts from about June 9th to July 2nd ."49°00'N, 45°00'E — Sunrise, Sunset, and Daylength, June 2024" ."49°00'N, 45°00'E — Sunrise, Sunset, and Daylength, July 2024" .midnight on the summer solstice, the altitude of the sun is about −17.56°."Planets Visible in the Night Sky in 49°00'N, 45°00'E" .
Slightly less than one-eighth of the Earth's surface is north of the 49th parallel.

50th parallel north [ edit ] The 50th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 50 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane . It crosses Europe , Asia , the Pacific Ocean , North America , and the Atlantic Ocean .
At this latitude the sun is visible for 16 hours, 22 minutes during the summer solstice and 8 hours, 4 minutes during the winter solstice .[ 6] astronomical twilight , a condition which lasts throughout the month of June.

Sakhalin island between 1905 and 1945. The area south of the 50th parallel line was under Japanese controlFrom the signing of the 1875 Treaty of Saint Petersburg until the Russo-Japanese War which broke in 1904, the Russian Empire had full control of Sakhalin island . As a result of the 1905 Treaty of Portsmouth that brought an end to the Russo-Japanese War , the portion of the island south of the 50th parallel line became Japanese territory, part of Karafuto Prefecture . However, following the month long Soviet–Japanese War during the summer of 1945, the entire island was reunified under Soviet control.[ 9]
