What lines makes up earths grid system?
Lines of latitude and the lines of longitude.
What coordinate system do you use to determine the location of a point on the earths surface?
Longitude and Latitude
What lines make up the earths''grid'' system?
Lines of latitude and the lines of longitude.
Is a method of finding latitude longitude and elevation of points on earths surface using a network of satellites?
Global Positioning System
What imaginary lines form the earth's grid system?
The imaginary lines that form the earths grid system are called latitude and longitude lines. Latitude lines go horizontally from east to west, where longitude lines go vertical from north to south.
What lines are part of a grid system on the map?
Latitude and longitude
How do global positioning systems use elevation on earths system to find latitude and longitude?
GPS receivers do not 'use' elevation for anything. They use the signals from several satellites simultaneously to calculate the latitude, longitude, and elevation of the receiver's location. It takes a minimum of three satellites to calculate the latitude and longitude, a minimum of four satellites to calculate the latitude, longitude, and elevation, if more satellites can be found the latitude, longitude, and elevation calculations can be refined more accurately.

What is the buoy located in O Latitude 0 Longitude?
That is the center of the coordinate system, which uses latitude and longitude.
How do you figure the latitude and longitude of the moon?
The system of latitude and longitude is used to describe the location of points on the surface of the earth. Celestial objects don't have latitude and longitude. There is a similar system defined in the sky. Those coordinates are called Right Ascension and Declination.
What is the location on earth that does not have a latitude or longitude?
There is no such location. Every point on Earth has a latitude and longitude, otherwise that system wouldn't be much good for navigation.
Whose system in latitude and longitude helped in mapmaking?
hipparchus
