What latitude is the tropic of cancer located at?
The Tropic of Cancer is the line that joins all points on the earth whose latitude is 23.5 degrees north.ALL longitudes on earth have a point on the Tropic of Cancer.
Where do the zero degree line of latitude and the zero degree line of longitude meet?
Are you asking "Where is the point located whose coordinates are 0° latitude 0° longitude ?" ? That point is at sea in the Gulf of Guinea, about 385 miles south Accra, Ghana.
What is another name for 0 degrees latitude besides equator?
The Prime Meridian is the line whose longitude is defined as zero. The equator is the line whose latitude is defined as zero.
Is a city located 120 degrees E next to the east of the prime meridian or equator?
Any point whose longitude is "120 degrees E" is 120 degrees to the east of the Prime Meridian.
An observer at a latitude of 79 Degrees North sees the Sun at the zenith at noon on which days?
An observer at latitude 79°, whether north or south, can never see the sun at his zenith. That's only possible for observers whose latitude is less than 23.5°, either north or south.

Is Kansas a longitude or latitude?
Every point on Earth has both a latitude and a longitude.Any point whose latitude is anything between 37° and 40° North,and whose longitude is anything between 95.3° and 102° West,is somewhere in Kansas.
What is the name of the substance whose melting point is 69 degrees?
Biphenyl (C6H5)2 has a melting point of 69.2 degrees Celsius
What state is southern border whose latitude is 35 degrees north?
Could be Tennessee or North Carolina.
Is there a place on the globe with no latitude and longitude?
There is no place on Earth whose latitude and longitude can't be measured,but there is a point where both of those measurements are zero.The point is at sea in the Gulf of Guinea, off the coast of western Africa,about 385 miles south of Accra, Ghana.The coordinates of that point are Latitude 00 00' 00.0" / Longitude 00 00' 00.0".
As an observer on a ship at sea at which latitude does the north star appear closest to the horizon?
I'm assuming that you mean "How far from the NCP is something whose declination is 50 degrees N?" In that case, the best way to visualize it is by looking at a globe of earth. The north pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. Something that's 50 degrees N latitude is therefore 40 degrees BELOW the north pole (the UK fits this description). Likewise, something with a declination of 50 degrees N is 40 degrees away from the NCP.
An observer at a latitude of 79 Degrees North sees the Sun at the zenith at noon on which days?
An observer at latitude 79°, whether north or south, can never see the sun at his zenith. That's only possible for observers whose latitude is less than 23.5°, either north or south.
What is the measure of the angle formed by two tangents drawn to a circle from an external point if they intersect a minor arc whose measure is 80 degrees?
100 degrees
Do lines of longitude give how far east or west a place is?
Yes, how far east or west from a point of origin. And the measure of distance is in degrees (hours), minutes and seconds.The point of origin is Prime Meridian, the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England, whose measure is 0 degrees. The distances are measured in degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian. The furthest one can go from the Prime Meridian is 180 degrees, which is exactly on the other side of the world from Greenwich.I live in the S.F Bay Area, which is located at 121 degrees 53 minutes west. Your mileage may vary.Lines of latitude determine distance from the Equator. By identifying one's latitude and longitude one can learn their exact position on the earth, which is what GPS devices will tell you.
