What else can I help you with?
When stating the absolute location of a place you always give the longitude first.?
The starting line for measuring latitude is what
Which is first laditue or longatude in plotting nombers?
It is customary to provide latitude first and longitude second when plotting locations. Latitude represents how far north or south a location is from the equator, while longitude represents how far east or west of the prime meridian a location is.
Does latitude or longitude go first when describing a location?
It makes no difference whatsoever.When coordinates are stated, latitude is commonly stated first. But it really doesn't matter at all.
Who discover latitude?
Hipparchus, a Greek astronomer who lived between 190 and 120 BC, was the first person to specify location by using latitude and longitude as coordinates.
When given latitude and longitude coordinates which is given first?
Typically, latitude is given first followed by longitude when providing coordinates. Latitude measures the north-south position, while longitude measures east-west. So the order is latitude, longitude. For example, 40.7128° N, 74.0060° W represents the latitude and longitude coordinates for New York City.
When given the location of a place on the globe which do you list first latitude or longeitude?
We typically list the latitude first, but some computer applications prompt you to enter the longitude first. In realty, it doesn't really make much difference.
Is longitude or latitude 1st?
When giving a position it is usual to give latitude first.
Do you look at the lines of latitude or the lines of longitude first when you are finding the coordinates?
It does not matter whether you look at the lines of latitude or longitude first. Usually coordinates are written latitude, then longitude. Good luck!
Help with longitude and latitude?
Well, what exactly do you need to know? Latitude is up and down (North and South) , and longitude is side to side (East to West). Just think of latitude fatitude for side to side, and LONGitude, for up and down. Latitude comes first.
Which technological development made it possible for sailors to find their latitude and longitude for the first time?
For latitude the sextant, and later for longitude, the marine chronometer.
How can we locate places on the map with the help of latitude and longitude for kids?
To locate places on a map using latitude and longitude, we first need to understand that latitude lines run horizontally and measure how far north or south a place is from the equator, while longitude lines run vertically and measure how far east or west a place is from the Prime Meridian. Each location is given a set of coordinates, like (latitude, longitude). For example, if we have the coordinates 40° N, 74° W, we find 40° N on the latitude lines and then move to 74° W on the longitude lines to pinpoint the exact location. Kids can use these coordinates to find cities, landmarks, or even their own homes on a map!
How do you use latitude and longitude coordinates to find an absolute location on a map?
First, look on the map to find the line of latitude that the coordinates reference. If the exact line of latitude isn't shown on the map, estimate it by looking at the lines that are available. Then look on the map to find the longitude line that the coordinates reference. Once you have found the two lines, follow them both towards the point where they intersect. That is the location the coordinates reference.
