What coordinate measures the east-west positions of objects?
The coordinate that measures the east-west positions of objects is called longitude. Longitude is expressed in degrees, with the Prime Meridian at 0 degrees serving as the reference point. Locations east of the Prime Meridian are measured in degrees east (up to 180 degrees), while those to the west are measured in degrees west (also up to 180 degrees).
Is there 360 degrees of longitude on the globe?
Yes. 180 East and 180 West
What a the biggest numbers in longitude?
The largest possible values for longitude range from -180 degrees to +180 degrees. This means that the biggest numbers in longitude are 180 degrees east and 180 degrees west, which actually represent the same line on the opposite sides of the Earth. Longitude measures the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian, which is at 0 degrees.
What is the maximum value for longitude?
180

If you were to travel along the 210 longitude line from Antarctica which would you reach?
A longitude of 210 degrees means that you are measuring longitude from 0 to 360 degrees, which is fine, but very often people use -180 to +180 degrees, also called 180 degrees west to 180 degrees east instead. 210 degrees longitude is the same as 150 degrees west. You would pass French Polynesia and you would then make a landfall in Alaska in the USA which is in North America.
If a central angle measures 180 degrees what is it called?
An angle of between 90 degrees and 180 degrees is called an obtuse angle, an angle that is exactly 180 degrees is called a straight angle (because it creates a straight line), and an angle of more then 180 degrees is called a reflex angle.
