The Philippines is located approximately between 5°N and 20°N latitude. Therefore, the distance from the equator varies between about 5 to 20 degrees north. This geographic position places the country in a tropical climate zone, with significant impacts on its weather and biodiversity.
Sri Lanka is approximately 400 miles from the Equator.
Manila, Philippines, is located at approximately 14.6 degrees north latitude. The distance from the equator to a point on the Earth's surface can be calculated using the formula that 1 degree of latitude is roughly equal to 69 miles. Therefore, the distance from the equator to Manila is about 1,010 miles (14.6 degrees x 69 miles per degree).
The Philippines have only two seasons and not four like the other countries because the Philippines is located near the equator. Since the the part where the equator is found is hot and the Philippines is located near the equator, the Philippines is considered as a tropical country which is ideal for us. This is because the spot where the Philippines lies is not very hot and not very cold. Meaning if it is not really cold and not really hot obviously the other seasons cannot happen in the Philippines like winter. this is because it is not cold enough in the Philippines to form snow like the other countries.
No, it measures degrees. Longitude can measure time, but not from the equator but from the prime meridian
The equator represents the zero degree line of latitude.
Ramon Ang studied at Far Eastern University in the Philippines, where he earned a degree in mechanical engineering.
The number of miles in one degree of latitude depends on how far you are from the equator.
The Philippines lies between about 10 and 15 degrees north of the Equator.
The Equator is the name of the zero degree latitude line. It divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
