How many degrees of longitude do you have east and west of the equator?

∙ 13y ago
The equator is a latitude reference, not a longitude reference. There is some point
on the equator with every possible longitude.
The reference for longitude is the Prime Meridian. Longitudes are measured
east of it up to 180°, and west of it up to 180°.

How many degrees of latitude are there between 45 degrees east and 40 degreeseast?
There are 180 degrees of latitude between 45 and 40 degrees east longitude. However, if you meant how many degrees of longitude are there, there are 5 degrees of longitude between 45 and 40 degrees east longitude.
How many degrees does the equator have?
The Equator is the latitude line with a given value of 0-degrees. There Equator runs completely around the Earth. There are 360-longitude lines that intersect the Equator.
How many kilometers in 23 degrees?
It is like asking how many apple in 1kilogram rice !Degrees of Longitude or Latitude?longitude is about 111 km per degree at the equator and roughly zero at the poles latitude is always very close to 111 kmSo at the equator moving east or west north or south 23 degrees will travel very close to 2560 km
Which is longitude and which is latitude?
Lines of latitude are imaginery lines that run around the earth parallel to the equator and tell you how many degrees north or south of the equator you are. The equator being zero degrees, the North Pole being 90 degrees North Latitude, the South Pole being 90 degrees South Latitude. Lines of longitude are imaginery lines that run from the north pole to the south pole and tell you how many degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian you are. The Prime Meridian is based on Greenwich, England. An easy way to rember is that the latitude lines are like the steps on a ladder, and the longitude lines are very long.
How many degress of longitude is the earth divided?
360 degrees. Longitude runs from 180 degrees East to -180 degrees West.
How many degrees of longitude are there between 15 east and 45 east?

What is the difference between latitude and parallels longitude and meridians?
Latitude refers to the angular distance of a location north or south of the equator, measured in degrees. Parallels are lines of latitude that run parallel to the equator. Longitude refers to the angular distance of a location east or west of the Prime Meridian, measured in degrees. Meridians are lines of longitude that converge at the poles.
How many degrees are the longitude lines in each hemisphere?
one degree, about 111 kilometers at the equator.
How many degrees are east of the prime meridian?
!80 degrees east of Greenwich and then one crosses over to West Longitude
What is the starting line for determining longitude?
The starting point for latitude is the equator. For longitude it is the prime meridian. Try and not get confused because some people think that it is the prime meridian for both but it is not. Hope this helps!
How many degrees of longitude are between north and south pole?
The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles. There are 180 degrees of latitude between the North and South Poles, and 90 degrees of latitude between each pole and the Equator.
How many total degrees in the equator?
360 degrees. From Greenwich (London) 180 degrees west and 180 degrees east.
