Why don't we use latitude and longitude for celestial coordinates?
We more or less do, we just call them declination and right ascension instead. The two concepts are mathematically equivalent.
What is the point called when latitude and longitude lines touch?
There is no term for where "latitude and longitude meet" since they are not absolutely defined points or lines; instead, they are coordinates which must be used in tandem to define a point and can vary over any part of the earth's surface (or any object which is given a system of latitude and longitude).
Is the location of a place compared to another place?
Yes, the location of a place can be compared to another place in terms of relative distance, direction, and position on a map or in relation to landmarks. Comparing locations helps to understand spatial relationships and can be useful for navigation and determining proximity.
How do you calculate time from latitude?
Every latitude extends all the way around the Earth, and is unrelated to the time at any place.If you were to consider longitude instead, the difference in solar time between two longitudes is(longitude #1)degrees minus (longitude #2)degrees/15 hours.
Does the temperature increase or decrease when you get to the south?
If you are North of the equator.....If you travel north, latitude increases,If you travel south, latitude decreases.If you are South of the equator.....If you travel north, latitude decreases,If you travel south, latitude increases.
What is the latitude and longitude of the constellation Pisces?
The terms "latitude" and "longitude" only apply to terrestrial navigation here on the surface of the Earth. In Astronomy, the terms "right ascension" and "declination" are used instead. The RA of Pisces is 1 hour and the declination is +15 degrees.
What is the latitude and longitude of the far north west corner of Oregon?
The Oregon/Washington border on the west coast is in the middle of the Columbia River where it meets the Pacific Ocean, so it's hard to pin down an exact point. The closest we can read it is 46.262998° north latitude 124.067246° west longitude. but those coordinates could be off by 100-ft or more. You should not use these figures for purposes of precise navigation, and should consult a competent, licensed land surveyor instead.
What is the latitude and longitude of Ottowa?
I was not able to find a place called "Ottowa", so I've selected Ottawa instead. Thecenter of the intersection of Main St and Columbus St in Ottawa IL is located at41.3457° north latitude88.8412° west longitude.Other spots around town have different coordinates.
What would happened if there was not DNS in internet?
Instead of having nice, easy to read, web addresses (google.com), you would have to remember a computer's IP Address (74.125.224.72). Basically, DNS tells yours computer that when you enter Google.com, it needs to connect to 74.125.224.72. It's like remember a houses address instead of it's latitude and longitude. DNS is just a system that relates the two.
Why does horizontal scale of a mercator projection increase with latitude?
The vertical (or latitude) scale increases with latitude, keeping the hoizontal (longitude) constant. This is in order to make the lines of longitude parallel on the chart, instead of, in reality, converging toward the poles. This allows courses to be plotted and drawn on the chart, as straight lines crossing the lines of longitude at the same angle. Known as 'plane sailing'. ie. it is on a plane (flat surface) not a globe.
How do you get latitude and longitude on Google Maps?
you get a decent GPS and put in the longitude and latitude of the place you want to go to. then you go in the direction that the GPS tells you until you are right on top of the coordinates you put in.
What is the longitude and latitude location of Miami?
Since the question is somewhat stingy with its information, we had to make someassumptions.1). We assumed that it's not referring to Miami in Manitoba, Arizona, Iowa, Indiana,Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas, or West Virginia, and we went instead withMiami, Florida.2). Miami, Florida is a big place. We assumed that the individual who posted the questionwill be satisfied with the coordinates of the point in downtown Miami near City Hall, at theeast end of Flagler Street, the zero of north/south address numbering.The intersection of E. Flagler St. and N/S Biscayne Blvd. is located at25° 46' 26.7" north latitube80° 11' 14.1" west longitubeThe numbers will change as soon as you go 30 feet from that spot.
