Longitude and latitude are angles involved in the description of locations on the
surface of the Earth, and now in the age of space exploration, on the surface of
other bodies where a coordinate system has been defined. Wherever you're talking
about, though, these quantities refer to the surfaces of spheres, and not to the
space between them.

At what lines of latitude and longitude will you find the space needle?
Longitude: 0° 0' 0"Latitude: 47° 37' 13"
Can longitude and latitude lines measure altitude?

What is used to measure longitude and latitude?
by degree, each degree is broken up into 60 minutes and each minute is broken up into 60 seconds (remember minutes and seconds are used as measures of distance, rather than time when you are talking about longitude and latitude. To know your longitude at sea before the arrival of GPS equipment (which gets an instant reading from geostationary space stations) you had to calculate it from knowing your speed and how long you had been sailing.
How are right ascension an declination similar to latitude an longitude?
Right Ascension in space is equivalent to Longitude on Earth but it is measured in hours minutes and seconds rather than degrees, minutes and seconds. 1 hour of RA is equivalent to 15° of longitude. Declination in Space is equivalent to Latitude on Earth. Both are measure in degrees, minutes and seconds. Declination is measured from the Celestial Equator, + being north and - being south, just like Latitude.
Is the distance between any two meridians the same as you travel north or south of the equator?
Between the equator and either pole, no matter what interval you choose foryour display of the meridians of longitude, they all gradually converge, untilthey all meet in a single point at the pole. The space between any two meridians,at any latitude, is(the space between them at the equator) x (cosine of the latitude). But their behavior on both sides of the equator is perfectly symmetrical.That is, as you move farther from the equator, the meridians converge inthe southern hemisphere exactly as they do in the northern one.

What lines of latitude and longitude will you find the space needle?
On both of my best mapping resources, the Space Needle, in Seattle WA, is marked at 47.62039° north latitude 122.34927° west longitude.

Is there a place with no longitude or latitude?
Yes, an infinite number of them. Longitude and latitude only apply to points on the surface of the earth, or on the surface of the few other bodies in the solar system to which local coordinate systems have been assigned. The surface of any other body, or the space between solid bodies, are enormous regions without latitude or longitude.

What are coordinate?
Coordinates are numeral values within a plane or three-dimensional space that identify a point within that system. In geometry, Cartesian coordinates indicate values within a grid system of perpendicular axes. In geography, coordinates give latitude (North and South) and longitude (East and West). They show an exact place on the map and are traditionally expressed in degrees, minutes, and seconds (the angle from an arbitrary reference plane).
What is the maximun logitutde of earth?
On the Earth's surface, Longitude has a range of 360 degrees. It can go from 0 to 360 degrees or from -180 to + 180 degrees. Latitude goes from -90 degrees to +90 degrees. In space, the Earth's longitude measures its annual progress round the Sun. The Sun appears to follow a path called the ecliptic, as a result of the Earth's orbit. In fact the ecliptic defines the plane of the Earth's orbit. When the Earth's longitude on the ecliptic is 100 degrees, it defines the true moment of the start of the New Year, usually on Jan 1.
What time can you see the space station from earth today?
It depends on your location. Check on the Internet for specific times at your latitude and longitude. There are some nice iPhone apps that will give you a list for your location.
Can you measure altitude in miles?
No. Latitude and longitude are angles.
