Circumference of the earth at particular latitude can be determined using the formula, Circumference of the earth = 2*PI*r*cos(Φ0) where r = radius of the at particular latitude r = R * (1 - ((1 / 298.25722356) * (0.5 - 0.5 * COS (2 * Φ0)))) R= radius of the earth at equator Φ0= latitude
A degree of Latitude is 69 miles or 110kms
Latitude is the measurement of degrees from the equator to the pole so that the pole has a latitude of 90 degrees. Co-latitude is the measurement of degrees from the pole to the equator so that the equator has a latitude of 90 degrees. Also the sum of latitude and co-latitude is always 90 degrees.
0 degrees latitude is called the Equator. 0 degrees longitude is called the Prime Meridian
0 degrees latitude at the equator.
As the Equator is an imaginary line at the greatest circumference of the Earth it's co-ordinate is 0 degrees
Earth's Circumference at the Equator: 24,901.55 miles (40,075.16 km) (from about.com); 0 degrees latitude is the equator.
The unit of measure used to determine absolute location is degrees and minutes of latitude and longitude. The Earth has 360 degrees at the equator.
A degree of Latitude is 69 miles or 110kms
40 degrees. The equator is zero latitude.
Latitude is the measurement of degrees from the equator to the pole so that the pole has a latitude of 90 degrees. Co-latitude is the measurement of degrees from the pole to the equator so that the equator has a latitude of 90 degrees. Also the sum of latitude and co-latitude is always 90 degrees.
0 degrees latitude is called the Equator. 0 degrees longitude is called the Prime Meridian
0 degrees latitude at the equator.
As the Equator is an imaginary line at the greatest circumference of the Earth it's co-ordinate is 0 degrees
The line of latitude at 0 degrees is the equator. 0 degrees= middle both ways.To remember longitude from latitude and latitude from longitude remember this:longitude: LONG... up and down... North and Southlatitude: lat.. flat... side to side... East and West
The equator is 90 degrees of latitude from both poles.
The Tropic of Capricorn is at just under 23.5 degrees south latitude. There are 90 degrees of latitude from the equator to the pole, which is one quarter of the earth's circumference. Since the earth's circumference is about 25,000 miles, one quarter of it is about 6,250 miles. The distance from the equator to the tropic is therefore approximately 6,250x23.5/90 = 1,630 miles (2,630 km). The distance from the equator to the Tropic of Cancer, at 23.5 degrees north latitude, is the same.
Zero degrees latitude is the Equator.
