What are two uses of the lines of longitude?
equator and hemisphere
How many degrees are the longitude lines in each hemisphere?
one degree, about 111 kilometers at the equator.
How many lines of latitude and longitude are there in each hemisphere?
there are ninety lines in each hemisphere There are 90 degrees of latitude in the northern Hemisphere, and another 90 in the southern one. There are 180 degrees of longitude in the eastern Hemisphere, and another 180 in the western one. In each hemisphere, you're free to draw as few or as many lines in that range of numbers as you want to see. There's no standard set of 'lines' that everybody must use. Some maps and globes have more lines on them, some have fewer, some don't have any at all. Would you go into the hardware store and ask the man "How many lines are there on the tape measure ?" ?
Which lines of latitude and longitude divide the earth into hemisphere?
The equator (0° latitude) divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. The Prime Meridian (0° longitude) divides the Earth into the Eastern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere.
What are the longitude lines in the eastern hemisphere labled?
Longitude lines in the eastern hemisphere are labeled with an E for east, indicating their position relative to the Prime Meridian. The Prime Meridian, located at 0 degrees longitude, serves as the starting point for measuring eastward and westward distances on the globe.
How do lines of latitude and longitude determine what hemisphere a place is located in?
Lines of latitude measure the distance north or south of the equator, dividing the Earth into Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Lines of longitude measure the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian, dividing the Earth into Eastern and Western Hemispheres. By using the intersection of these lines, we can determine which hemisphere a place is located in.
What lines mark the boundaries of the western hemisphere?
The Prime Meridian, which is 0 degress longitude.
How many hemispheres are in the world?
There are four hemispheres on Earth: Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, Eastern Hemisphere, and Western Hemisphere. These divisions are based on lines of latitude and longitude that run across the Earth's surface.
What longitudes begin just to the east of the prime meridian and continue eastward to 180 degrees longitude?
It is known as the Eastern Hemisphere, with lines of longitude easterly from the Prime Meridian (zero longitude) to the Datum Line of 180 degrees longitude. In the opposite direction from the Prime Meridian is the Western Hemisphere. To the north of the Equator is the Northern Hemisphere, and to the south of the Equator is the Southern Hemisphere.
How many lines of of Longitude West are there on the Earth?
Locations in the western hemisphere are described with a range of 180 degrees of"west longitude" ... exactly what you'd expect for 1/2 of a sphere. Within that range,you're free to draw as few or as many 'lines' on your map as you feel you need.
How many lines of longitude go through russia?
5 or 6 lines of longitude
What does the prime meridian separate?
The prime meridian separates the Eastern Hemisphere from the Western Hemisphere on Earth. It is the line of longitude designated as 0°, from which all other lines of longitude are measured.
