In some states, the police can give the victim (or person believed to be the victim) an Emergency Protection Order (EPO). An EPO is a short-term protection order typically given to a victim by the police or magistrate when his or her abuser is arrested for domestic violence. The EPO s generally for limited period, such as three or seven days. This permits the victim time with an EPO in place to request a longer-term protection order.
Since the earth's axis is tilted 23 Â½ degrees, then on this particular day, the sun's rays are striking the earth directly at a latitude approximately 23 Â½ degrees north of the equator (that is, the sun's rays are coming in at an angle of 90 degrees here; this is the subsolar point).
Between the equator and the North, pole there are 90 parallel lines of latitude and the north pole itself is Latitude 90 degrees north of the equator. Between the equator and the south pole there are also 90 equally spaced parallels and the south pole is Latitude 90 degrees south of the equator. The lines of longitude run from pole to pole and intersect the equator at right angles. Here too the lines, or degrees, are about 69 miles apart.
