Circles of latitude between the 5th parallel north and the 10th parallel north

Following are circles of latitude between the 5th parallel north and the 10th parallel north:

6th parallel north

The 6th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 6 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane. It crosses Africa, the Indian Ocean, Southeast Asia, the Pacific Ocean, South America, and the Atlantic Ocean.
Damage from the 2004 [Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami] was concentrated at this latitude.

7th parallel north

The 7th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 7 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane. It crosses Africa, the Indian Ocean, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Pacific Ocean, South America, and the Atlantic Ocean.

Around the world

Starting at the Prime Meridian and heading eastwards, the parallel 7° north passes through:

8th parallel north

The 8th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 8 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane. It crosses Africa, the Indian Ocean, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Pacific Ocean, Central America, South America, and the Atlantic Ocean.
The parallel defines part of the border between Somalia and Ethiopia. The Eight Degree Channel in the Indian Ocean is named after the parallel.

Around the world

Starting at the Prime Meridian and heading eastwards, the parallel 8° north passes through:

9th parallel north

The 9th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 9 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane. It crosses Africa, the Indian Ocean, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Pacific Ocean, Central America, South America, and the Atlantic Ocean.

Around the world

Starting at the Prime Meridian and heading eastwards, the parallel 9° north passes through:

10th parallel north

The 10th parallel north is a circle of latitude that is 10 degrees north of the Earth's equatorial plane. It crosses Africa, the Indian Ocean, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, the Pacific Ocean, Central America, South America, and the Atlantic Ocean.
At this latitude the sun is visible for 12 hours, 43 minutes during the summer solstice and 11 hours, 33 minutes during the winter solstice.
On 21 June, the maximum altitude of the sun is 103.44 degrees and 56.56 degrees on 21 December. In this case an angle larger than 90° means that the culmination takes place at a maximum altitude of 76.56 degrees in the opposite cardinal direction. In the northern torrid zone, the Sun remains in the south during winter, but can reach over the zenith to the north in midsummer.
A section of the border between Guinea and Sierra Leone is defined by the parallel.
The Ten Degree Channel in the Indian Ocean is named after the parallel.
