If you travel 10 degrees of longitude along the equator the distance traveled will be very diffrent from the distance traveled through 10 degrees of longitude at 60 degrees n latitude why?

Yes, because lines of longitude converge at the poles. The distance between longitude lines will always decrease the further you are from the equator. Lines of latitude remain equidistant.
This is why no map is always accurate. Think of peeling an orange and try laying it flat on the table.

∙ 12y agoBecause all meridians of longitude converge at the north and south poles.
So the distance between any pair of them depends on your position north
or south of the equator, i.e. your latitude.

How far offshore is 100 miles in longitude?
Given a starting point at 0 degrees longitude on the equator, a distance of 100 miles east or west is approximately 1.4 degrees.However, the lines of longitude are closer together towards the poles and furthest from each other along the equator. So, if you start from Greenland with a latitude of 75 degrees and travel 100 miles east or west then you travel 5.7 degrees in longitude. As you approach the poles, all lines of longitude converge into a single point so traveling from the equator to the poles increases the number of degrees in a given distance traveled on the globe.
If you started at the prime meridian on the equator and traveled 690 miles to the east and then turned around and traveled 207 miles to the west at what line of longitude would you be?
you would most likely be on the longitude
What changes with latitude?
-- the distance from the equator -- the distances from the north and south poles -- the speed of the ground toward the east as the Earth rotates -- on the average, the apparent local acceleration of gravity -- the total distance around the Earth traveled in one day -- the position of the celestial poles in the sky -- the paths of the stars during the night -- the total portion of all the stars and constellations that's visible in a night or a year -- the highest altitude in the sky that the Sun ever reaches during the year -- the highest altitude in the sky that the moon ever reaches -- the distance that one degree of longitude covers on the ground from your latitude -- the amount of the total night sky that never sets as seen from your latitude -- the length of the longest day of the year -- the length of the shortest day of the year -- the difference between them -- the broad, very-long-term-average climate, especially the temperature, although there are great differences in climates even at the same latitude -- my desire to live at that latitude (directly proportional)
How do you calculate RF Value?
The Rf value is the "ratio to the front." Hence the R and the f. It is defined as the ration of the distance traveled by a spot (measured from the center) to the distance traveled by the solvent.
At 120kph what distance is traveled in 45 minutes in km?

What continent would you be on if you traveled to 20 degrees south latitude and 60 degrees west longitude?
It is South America, specifically the northern part of Paraguay.

What is the distance traveled by an object divided by the time in which the distance was traveled without identifying the direction traveled?
Speed describes the distance traveled by an object divided by the time in which the distance was traveled, if the direction is not specified.
What are distance traveled and time traveled and rate of travel related?
Rate of travel = (distance traveled) divided by (time traveled)
The latitude of your campus is about 43.5 degrees North What is the distance traveled by the Science Building in one day in space as a result of the Earth's rotation?

What is the formula for distance traveled?
distance traveled = speed multiplied by time taken.
Does the Upright Exercise Bike record the distance traveled?
Yes, the bike can record distance traveled.
If you started at the prime meridian on the equator and traveled 690 miles to the east and then turned around and traveled 207 miles to the west at what line of longitude would you be?
you would most likely be on the longitude
Which word most likely means a measure of distance traveled?
Displacement means a measure of distance traveled.
Is speed the distance that has been traveled?
No. The average speed would be the distance traveled divided by the elapsed time.
Which of the following do you calculate when you divide the total distance traveled by the total traveled time?
Speed = Distance/Time
What is the longitude and latitude of Mt mitchell and the person it is named after?
The summit of Mount Mitchell, in Clackamas County, Oregon, roughly 45 miles southeast of the center of Portland, is located at 45° 06' 29.41" north latitude 121° 58' 39.25" west longitude. Zebulon Melchizedek Mitchell, who traveled with Lewis and Clark and expired just as the expedition approached the Cascade Range in central Oregon, was interred on the trail by his comrades, and rests at 44° 58' 20" north latitude 121° 47' 17" west longitude, at an elevation of -6 AGL.
