That's exactly the same as asking "How many different lengths are there on
a piece of rope ?"
There's no limit to the possible number of different measurements. If you name
two different measurements, then no matter how close together they are, I can
always name a new one that's in between yours.
'Latitude' on Earth covers a range of 180 degrees, from -90 at the south pole
to +90 at the north pole.
'Longitude' covers a range of 360 degrees, being the angle that you can travel
in an east or west direction, from the place you start, all the way around the Earth
to the place you started from. Just like any other circle.
The same as the total number of different lengths that can be measured on a
3-foot ruler. If you name two longitudes, then no matter how close together
they are, I can always name another longitude that's in between yours. So
there's no limit to the number of different longitudes that we can name.
The range for latitude is 180 degrees .
That is, 90 degrees N - 0 degrees - 90 degrees S
The latitude at the Equator is 0 degrees
The range of Longitude is 360 degrees,
That is, 180 degrees E - 0 degrees - 180 degrees W
The Longitude at the Meridian is 0 degrees
That's a lot like asking "How many lengths are there on a ruler ?", and equally impossible to answer.
-- Latitudes and longitudes are angles.
-- Just as you'd expect, going all the way around the Earth in any direction is a trip of 360 degrees.
-- From the north pole to the south pole is halfway around theEarth, so it covers 180 degrees of latitude.
-- From a spot on the equator all the way around the Earth to the same spot covers 360 degrees of longitude.
That's like asking "How many different lengths can you measure with a ruler?"
-- There are 360 degrees of longitude all the way around the Earth. Starting from
the official zero line, they're numbered from zero to 180 in each direction.
-- Latitudes range from negative 90 degrees at the south pole, to zero at the
equator, and then to positive 90 degrees at the north pole.

360
The same as the total number of different lengths that can be measured on a3-foot ruler. If you name two longitudes, then no matter how close togetherthey are, I can always name another longitude that's in between yours. Sothere's no limit to the number of different longitudes that we can name.

Antarctica has territory at EVERY longitude.
there is no time difference between any two locations separated by x-amount of latitude as long as they are on the same longitude. When they are on different longitudes and separated by latitude count the number of longitudes between the locations to get the time difference
Latitudes are parallel to the equator. Longitudes converge like elastics on a soccer ball.

The globe provides a visual representation of the Earth's geography, helping us understand the relationship between countries, continents, and oceans. It is useful for educational purposes, geography lessons, and gaining a better understanding of global events and issues by seeing the world in a 3-dimensional perspective.

europe
An infinite number
Antarctica has territory at EVERY longitude.
There are 360 longitudes
i have no idea :P
as all the places on the same longitude have their noon at the same time
Between any two points on Earth, no matter how close together they are, there are an infinite number of latitudes and an infinite number of longitudes.
At the poles.
there is no time difference between any two locations separated by x-amount of latitude as long as they are on the same longitude. When they are on different longitudes and separated by latitude count the number of longitudes between the locations to get the time difference
