-- On a globe or a world map, find South America.
-- Look at its upper-left corner, where it hooks onto a skinny connection to North America.
-- The spot where that skinny connection hooks onto the round shoulder of South America
is in Colombia. From there, a short distance into South America in every direction, you can
find the borders where Colombia ends.
What else can I help you with?
How do you find the latitude using the northern star?
No
How do you find longitude and latitude?
You find latitude by finding the place on the map and see what line it is between or on. The same with longitude. You can also find the latitude and longitude of an address using Google maps.
Does using latitude and longitude help find any location on earth?
Yes.
Can you find the exact location of a place on a globe by using only the latitude?
Yes, the North Pole and the South Pole are both zero degrees latitude and longitude.
When using latitude and longitude to find places on earth what do you use as your starting point?
The equator is the zero reference line for latitude, and the Prime Meridian is the one for longitude.
Is it possible to find the absolute location or relative location of North America using a picture map?
No, because there are no lines of latitude or longitude on a picture map. It would be hard to figure out where a city actually is without them.
How do you find the latitude of northern hemisphere?
To find the latitude in the northern hemisphere, you can use a GPS device or online map tools that provide latitude information based on your current location.

How can you determine your latitude in the northern hemisphere just by using a star?
To determine your latitude in the northern hemisphere using a star, measure the angle between the horizon and the star using a sextant. This angle is called the star's altitude. If you know the star's declination (which is constant), subtract it from 90 degrees minus the star's altitude to find your latitude.
Can you find the north pole and south pole using only the latitude?
Sure, they're both at 90 degrees.
Can you find latitude using the length of day?
The length of day alone does not provide enough information to determine latitude. The length of day varies with latitude, but other factors such as time of year and location also influence it. To find latitude, you typically need additional information like the altitude of the sun at noon or the angle of the shadows cast by objects.
What does latitude and latitude enable one to find?
longitude and latitude let someone find their exact location upon the earth
