What is the widest state east to west?
Several sources found on the internet, among them the Hawaii state tourist board, Yahoo, and the US States Almanac, all agree that Hawaii is the widest state on an east-west axis. However, as the global divisional point between east and west is 180° longitude. And that Alaska spans across the 180° longitude line; if you are to measure FROM the "eastern" most point of Alaska (at 180° longitude) TO the "western" most point of Alaska (also at 180° longitude) at approximate the 50th parallel; then you have a measurement of approximated 17,000 miles -- clearly making Alaska the widest state as measured FROM east TO west.
What is the degree of longitude equivalent to east of 5 degrees west longitude?
The degree of longitude east of 5 degrees west is 4 degrees west longitude.
Is Peru east or west of the 60 degree west meridian?
East
Idaho is it east or west of the 100 degree longitude?
The eastern state boundary of Idaho is at 111.05° west longitude. That's 11° west of 100° west longitude, and 149° east of 100° east longitude. The state's western boundary is 5.96° west of there.
Distance east and west from the prime meridian?
The longitude of a location is its angle east or west of the Prime Meridian.
Is longitude around the globe or east and west?
Lines of longitude run north-south and measure east-west.
How far you are east or west?
You can measure east and west using longitude
Is Malaysia located east or west of 105 east longitude?
West
How would you describe the location of the US with latitude and longitude?
The 48-states that compose the continental United States is located between the longitude of west 125 on the west coast and west 67 on the east coast. The Longitude in the north is 49N and south is 24N. Alaska is further to the north-west and Hawaii in the Pacific (155W).
Is longitude east to west of the prime meridian?
The Prime Meridian, which passes through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England, is the zero point for the measurement of longitude. East of there, into Europe and on into Asia, it's "east longitude"; to the west, through Ireland, across the Atlantic and across the Americas, it is "west longitude". They meet each other at the 180 degree mark, which is pretty much in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. So if you are sailing west from Hawaii toward the Philippines, your longitude will increase. At some point you're going to cross 179 degrees 59 minutes of west longitude, sail another mile or so to 180 degrees of longitude (which is neither east nor west, or perhaps it's both!) and then sail another mile to 179 degrees, 59 minutes EAST longitude. From then on into Asia, your longitude will steadily decrease.
Can you convert decimal degrees east to decimal degree west?
Subtract the east longitude from 360, and you'll have the west longitude.
What does longitude mmean?
you find a location with latitude and longitude. longitude is east and West.
