If you are midway between the South Pole and the equator and one quarter the way around the earth to the west of the PM where are you?
N 45 degrees, 00 minutes, 00 seconds latitude; E 90 degrees 00 minutes 00 seconds longitude. You would be in north-central China, about 44 miles southwest of the nearest point on the border with Mongolia, and 145 miles northeast of Ürümqi.
Why is the phase in which half the moon is visible called a quarter moon?
Half of the Moon you cannot see because it faces away from Earth. Half of the side you could see is in darkness at "half Moon". That makes 3/4 of the Moon invisible and 1/4 visible. Hence "a quarter Moon" is visible. Another viewpoint: No, that's not really the answer. This is the answer: Let's start with "New Moon". Later, at "Full Moon", the Moon is halfway through its cycle of phases. Halfway between these two phases we see a half Moon. That's called the "first quarter" phase, because the Moon is a quarter of the way through its phases. So, that's why we see the half Moon at a "quarter" phase. It does cause confusion.
How many degrees on tropic of Capricorn?
The Tropic of Capricorn is at just under 23.5 degrees south latitude. There are 90 degrees of latitude from the equator to the pole, which is one quarter of the earth's circumference. Since the earth's circumference is about 25,000 miles, one quarter of it is about 6,250 miles. The distance from the equator to the tropic is therefore approximately 6,250x23.5/90 = 1,630 miles (2,630 km). The distance from the equator to the Tropic of Cancer, at 23.5 degrees north latitude, is the same.
Where is Texas related to the prime meridian?
The easternmost point of Texas - in the little bump into Louisiana - is at longitude 93 degrees 30 minutes west. The Prime Meridian is at zero, of course, and the scale goes to 180 degrees west. So Texas STARTS at just over one-quarter of the way around the world from Greenwich, England.
