All the way around anything is a trip of 360 degrees.
If you do it again, your total doubles to 720 degrees.

What is the name of the parallel that is located at 0 degrees longitude?
All parallels, or latitudes, cross 0 degrees longitude. 0 degrees longitude is the prime meridian. 0 degrees latitude, or parallel, is the equator
If you travel 10 degrees of longitude along the equator the distance traveled will be very diffrent from the distance traveled through 10 degrees of longitude at 60 degrees n latitude why?
Yes, because lines of longitude converge at the poles. The distance between longitude lines will always decrease the further you are from the equator. Lines of latitude remain equidistant.This is why no map is always accurate. Think of peeling an orange and try laying it flat on the table.
How far offshore is 100 miles in longitude?
Given a starting point at 0 degrees longitude on the equator, a distance of 100 miles east or west is approximately 1.4 degrees.However, the lines of longitude are closer together towards the poles and furthest from each other along the equator. So, if you start from Greenland with a latitude of 75 degrees and travel 100 miles east or west then you travel 5.7 degrees in longitude. As you approach the poles, all lines of longitude converge into a single point so traveling from the equator to the poles increases the number of degrees in a given distance traveled on the globe.
What is the location of the equator in latitude and longitude?
Zero degrees latitude, any longitude.
Where can we find the equator and the prime meridian?
they are
What are the lines of longitude at and degrees?
The answer is equator

What is the location of the equator in latitude and longitude?
Zero degrees latitude, any longitude.
What longitude and latitude line is at 0 degrees?
its the equator
What is the of the imaginary line at 0 degrees longitude?
Equator
Latitude and longitude is measured in what?
latitude is degrees north or south of the equator and Longitude is degrees east or west of Greenwich
Where can we find the equator and the prime meridian?
they are
What lines are located at 0 degrees latitude and longitude?
The Equator is 0 degrees latitude, and the Prime (or Grenwich) Meridian is 0 degrees longitude.
What is latitude qnd longitude?
Latitude: The distance in degrees from the equator. Longitude: The distance in degrees east or west of the prime meridian.
