Going from 36 degrees north to 36 degrees north isn't going north or south, it's standing still, because you don't head north and you don't head south when you're just standing there.

In which direction would you travel if you were going from 40 N latitude 100 W longitude to 40 N latitude 90 W longitude?
France is 80 n latitude 140 w longitude
What way is the equator going latitude or longitude?
Latitude
In which direction would you travel going from 32 N Latitude and 94 W Longitude to 30 N Latitude and 94 W Longitude?
At the equator, one minute of longitude equals 1 nautical mile. From 10W to 40E would be 50 degrees, times 60 minutes per degree, so 3000 NM or 3452 statute miles.
What is the latitude and longitude of a port city with the latitude and longitude of 60 degrees north 24 degrees east?
Its latitude is going to be 60 degrees north, and its longitude will be 24 degrees east.
What are the lines on the globe called?
The key lines are latitude and longitude. These are based on specific points. The equator is the latitude around the center of the earth. Longitude is measured from the Prime Meridian, which goes through the Greenwich Observatory in England.The Tropics and the Arctic/Antarctic Circle are also key.
Why use longitude and latitude?
you need to know so that you know where a place is or where your going
What direction would you travel in going from Europe to Australia?
you would have to travel northwest.
Which direction would you travel going from 40 N latitude, 100 W longitude to 40 N latitude, 90 W longitude?
Since the earth is a sphere (ball), there are always at least two different directions you can take to get from anywhere to anywhere. But the shortest way to get from 40N 100W to 40N 90W is along the short path of the great circle. You head out in the direction slightly north of east, on a bearing of roughly 86.4 degrees. In that direction, it's a trip of 529.14 miles. That's the route that a rubber band would take on a globe if you stretched it tight between those two points.
How would knowing your latitude and longitude help you find your way at sea?
Knowing where you are is only one part of getting to where you're going. -- If you know your own latitude and longitude, AND the latitude and longitude of where you want to go, then you can calculate the DIRECTION you need to sail in order to get there by the shortest route, and exactly how far that is. -- If you only know your own latitude and longitude and nothing else, then perhaps the most useful application of that knowledge takes place when you need to radio the Coast Guard and ask them to come out and rescue you. If you can give them that information, then they don't have to hunt for you when they get to the general area.
