How many miles apart are 175 west longitude and 179 east longitude?
There is no way to tell. Their precise latitude locations would enable this computation. Note that unlike N and S latitude lines, which have a fixed distance between degree lines, the spacing between longitude lines varies greatly with latitude. Close to the poles, there is practically no distance between 175° W and 179° E -- at the equator, the lines are separated by about 360 nautical miles, which is about 414.3 miles or 666.7 kilometers.
How many longitude lines are there between each meridian line?
"Lines of longitude" are conceptual, not physical; there can be as many as we want. For example, there are 3600 "seconds of longitude" between each degree of longitude. That's 60 minutes of arc per degree, and 60 seconds of arc per minute.
How many lines of longitude go through russia?
5 or 6 lines of longitude
How many lines are on the east longitude are there?
360 lines i think... There are 12 lines of East longitude. 360 is WAY off.
How many straight lines miles lie between Amarna and Thebes?
About how many straight line miles between Amarna and Thebes
How many named lines of longitude are there?
Two of them.
How many lines on longitude?
it depends on what your trying to get.
How many miles from mo to NJ?
About 910 driving miles between the two state lines.
How many miles are between two degrees?
Is it longitude or latitude? Each degree of separation between latitude lines (this is as you travel due North or due South) is about 69 miles. This would also be true of degrees longitude only at the Equator. As you move toward one of the poles, longitude degrees get smaller, until you are at a pole, and you could walk a small circle around the pole in a few feet, and cover all 360 degrees. See related link.
Which direction does longitude lines travel in?
If you have a map or globe with some longitude lines printed on it, you'll find that they stay where they are and do not move from day to day. Regardless of how many there may be on your particular map or globe, each of them joins the north and south poles, and has the same length ... about 12,500 miles.
How many miles does one degree of longitude cover?
That's going to depend on how far you are north or south of the equator. The distance between any two meridians of longitude is maximum along the equator, and it shrinks to zero at the poles, where all meridians of longitude converge (come together). One degree of longitude represents about 111.2 km (69.1 miles) on the equator. Anywhere else on earth, it would be 111.2 multiplied by the cosine of your latitude.
Is latitude and longitude lines measured in Florida?
Florida does have Longitude and Latitude lines, and while they are documented on maps of this area and in many other ways the measurements were done many many years ago.
