"60°W" is 60 degrees west of the Prime Meridian.
"15°E" is 15 degrees east of the Prime Meridian.
If they're both at the same latitude, then "60°W" is four times as far from the Prime Meridian (in miles or km) as "15°E" is.
But if they're not at any particular latitudes, then it's quite possible for "15°E" to be farther from the Prime Meridian (in miles or km) than "60°W" is.

Is Greenland close to the Prime Meridian?
That depends on what you call 'close'. Greenland occupies the range of longitude between 12.14° and 73.02° west. So the only sure thing is that there are parts of Greenland that are 60 degrees closer to the Prime Meridian than other parts of it are.
What is label used on the map for the meridian of longitude that is 60 degrees east of the Prime Meridian?
That meridian has no special name. If it's shown at all on a map or globe, it'll be labeled "60".
Is the antarctic circle north south of the equator?

What Russian mountain chain is located near the meridian at 60 degrees east meridian?
The Urals. They are generally considered to be the dividing line between Europe and Asia.
What country is 60 degrees latitude 95 degrees longitude?
60 degrees latitude 95 degrees longitude? What is missing in the question is whether 60 degrees latitude is north or south of the Equator, and 95 is east or west of the Prime Meridian. I believe (by trial and error) the country is either Division No. 23, Manitoba, Canada (60 N 95 W). Or it could be Severo-Yeniseysky District, Krasnoyarsk Krai,Russia (60 N 95 E).

What longitude coordinate is closest to the prime meridian 60degrees south 75degrees north 60degrees west 75degrees west?
60 degrees south75 degrees northEach of these has a point on the Prime Meridian.But they are not longitudes.60 degrees west75 degrees westEach of these coincides with the Prime Meridian at the north and south poles.Elsewhere . . .60 degrees west . . . 60 degrees from the Prime Meridian everywhere except at the poles.75 degrees west . . . 75 degrees from the Prime Meridian everywhere except at the poles.So the winner of this whimsical and nearly meaningless contest is . . . 60 degrees west .
Is 15 47 60 prime or composite number?
47 is a prime, the other two are composite.
Why is fifteen not a factor of 60?
15 is a factor of 60.The proof: 15 x 4=60(It is, of course, not a prime factor.)
What is the prime gcf of 45 and 60?
The GCF is 15 The greatest prime factor in common is 5..
Is 60 closer to 50 or 75?
50 Beacuse it is only 10 away and 75 is 15 away from 60
What prime number between 40 and 60 is 4 greater than another prime?
40/4=10 60/4=15 Then the second prime are between 10 and 15, two prime numbers: 11 and 13 The prime number is between 44 and 52 : 47
What is the greatest common prime numbers between 45 and 60?
The prime numbers between 45 and 60 are 47, 53, and 59. The common factors of 45 and 60 are 1, 3, 5, and 15. The greatest common factor of 45 and 60 is 15.
A pair of number is 60 the prime factorization of one of the numbers is 3.5?
3 x 5 = 15 15 x 4 = 60
What is the HCF of 60 and 45?
To find the HCF of two numbers you first need to express them as the product of their prime factors. In this case you'd get: 45 = 3x3x5 60 = 2x2x3x5 The next step is to identify any common prime factors. In this case both numbers have a 3 and a 5 as a prime factor. Multiplying these together gives: 3x5 = 15 And so 15 is the HCF of 45 and 60.
Is 60 prime?
60 is not prime.Prime means that it is only divisabled my that number(in your case, 60) and one.60 is divisavble by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30 and 60.Very far away from prime
