The same as the total number of different lengths that can be measured on a

3-foot ruler. If you name two longitudes, then no matter how close together

they are, I can always name another longitude that's in between yours. So

there's no limit to the number of different longitudes that we can name.

The same number as there are possible lengths on a ruler ... an infinite number.

Longitudes range from zero to 180° east, and from zero to 180° west, but

there's no such thing as the smallest jump between two longitudes.

If you give me two longitudes, then no matter how close together they are,

I can always name another one that's in between them. So there are an

infinite number of different longitudes in between ANY two longitudes.

Why are latitudes concentric but longitudes meet at the poles?

Latitudes are parallel to the equator. Longitudes converge like elastics on a soccer ball.


Do the longitudes intersect each other?

If they did, then you'd have two different longitudes at the same point, which isgenerally a no-no.The only places where that happens is at the north and south poles, where all longitudesconverge (meet, come together).


Who drew latitudes and longitudes on the Earth?

What is the country in 90 to 45?

I tried. Believe me, I tried. But I finally had to give up trying to figure out whether 90 and 45 are latitudes or longitudes, and if they're latitudes, whether they're north or south latitudes, and if they're longitudes, whether they're east or west longitudes.
