Every point on Earth has a latitude and a longitude. Together, the pair

of numbers is different from the numbers of any other point on Earth.

What major city is located near 40 degrees north latitude,90 degrees west longitude?

What capital city is near the absolute location of 40 degree north 90 degree west?

The only one we could find is Springfield, Illinois, about 23 miles southeast of that point. You may call that "near". We wouldn't want to walk it. Considering that latitude and longitude are perfectly capable of describing a point to within a few feet, we feel that you could easily have called it a lot closer.


Which lines-latitude or longitude- are always the same distance no matter where they are?

It's longitude Longitude goes vertically from one point and down so it is always going to be the same distance...Latitude goes horizontally so it isn't the same distance. HOPE THIS HELPED!


What are latitude and longitude lines?

Lines of latitude and longitude are imaginary lines on maps of the world. Latitude is measured by degrees north or south of the equator and lines of latitude are parallel to each other. Lines of longitude are drawn so that they cut through both north and south pole, so each is progressively closer to the next as they get closer to the poles and maximum distance apart at the equator. The line of longitude that passes through Greenwich in London (UK) is called the prime meridian and other lines of longitude are referred to it, so New York (USA) is about 74º west and Melbourne (Australia) is about 145º east.


What city has this longitude 36 north and latitude 140 E?

Tokyo, Japan is located at about 36 north, 140 east. Actually, there is a smaller city, Mitsukaido, Japan, which is closer, but Tokyo is the largest nearby city.Note: The question is in error. The correct question is What city has latitude 36 north and longitude 140 east? This is because latitude goes north and south, while longitude goes east and west.


What is the area of the square of one degree latitude and longitude?

That depends on where you are on Earth, specifically, your latitude. All meridians of longitude converge (meet, come together) at the north and south poles, so any two of them get closer and closer together as you get closer to either pole. One degree of longitude is about 69 miles along the equator, but only 48.8 miles at latitude 45°, 17.9 miles at latitude 75°, and about 6 miles at latitude 85°. So as you get farther from the equator, your 1° x 1° square is getting progressively skinnier. Here's the area of your square at a few different latitudes. Each square is 1 latitude degree tall and 1 longitude degree wide, and the indicated latitude goes straight across its middle: On the equator . . . . . 4,760 square miles 30° . . . . . 4,150 square miles 45° . . . . . 3,375 square miles 60° . . . . . 2,400 square miles 85° . . . . . 415 square miles
