Is the equator located at o longitude o latitude or 180 longitude?
The equator is 0° latitude.
What is the number of 1 degree latitude and longitude lines that can be drawn on a globe?
90 degrees north latitude and 90 degrees south latitude are the maximum values; they represent the exact locations of the pole. Zero degrees is the equator. 180 degrees longitude is the exact limit of longitude; it represents the originally defined location of the International Date Line, exactly opposite the Prime Meridian. Oh. On second reading (and some editing of the question) I finally grasped the question. Latitude: the equator is one. Then there is one to eighty nine in the north, and again in the south. 90 degrees north and south are points, not lines. That makes 179 lines of latitude. Then you have the Prime Meridian (one); and 179 degrees east, and again west. That's 359. Then there is 180 degrees which makes 360 lines of longitude. 179 plus 360 equals 539 lines total.
Hurricanes are pacific ocean storms?
Technically, the term hurricane applies to an intense tropical cyclone in the northern hemisphere occurring either in either the Atlantic Ocean or in the Pacific Ocean east of 180 degrees longitude. Intense tropical cyclones in the west of the line and north of the equator are called typhoons while those south of the equator are simply called cyclones.
Which 2 hemispheres does the US lie in?
North & West Western Hemisphere, because it is west of the Prime meredian and Northern Hemisphere because it is located above the Equator. Strange as it may seem, there is also a tiny part of the USA in the Eastern Hemisphere. It's the western portion of the Aleutian chain of islands that dangles from the "chin" of Alaska, and keeps going, across the meridian of 180 longitude into the eastern hemisphere. It's all part of the state of Alaska, and part of the US.
What is the maximum number of 1 degree longitude lines that can be drawn on a globe?
Looking at a sphere, the Earth, from the side, i.e. - the equator, eliminating each 'pole' position, which would appear as 'points', as opposed to 'lines', lines drawn at one degree intervals from top (North) to bottom (South), would number 178; given that there are 180 degrees from North to South.
Is the equator located at o longitude o latitude or 180 longitude?
The equator is 0° latitude.
Is the equator located at 0 longitude 0 latitude or 180 longitude?
The equator is located at 0 latitude. Fullstop. Being a parallel it spans the whole range in longitude, from 0 to 180 and back again.
Is the equator located at 0 longitude 0latitude or 180 longitude?
The equator is defined as the zero reference line of latitude.
Is the equator located at 180 degree longitude?
The equator is mapped out to be positioned as the 0º line of latitude.
How is longitude and latitude measured?
Longitude and latitude are measured in terms of degrees, minutes and seconds. Longitude has 360 degrees, while latitude 180 degrees of latitude.
What is 180 latitude?
The maximum degree of latitude is 90 degrees north and south, so 180 degrees latitude does not exist. If you meant 180 degrees longitude, then the answer would be that the International Date Line, a major line of longitude, is located there.
Is the equator located at 0 degrees longitude 0 degrees latitude or 180 degrees longitude?
No. Believe the accepted is Zero(0). Hence the North Pole is at +90, and the South Pole is at -90. Or 90N and 90S. Latitude Lines are accepted to be measured in Degrees/minutes. Therefore if a radius "line" at the Equator is "lifted" 1.0 degree in a Northerly direction, the point of the line at the circumference at 1.0 degree North. If one were to draw a line from that point around the entire perfect sphere(which the Earth is not), then a line of Latitude could be referenced as 1.0 Degree North Latitude.
What lines of latitude and longitude dived the earth into hemisphere?
The Equator and the Prime Meridian (and by extension, its counterpart at 180 degrees.)
Where does longitude and latitude cross?
"Crossing the Line" is associated with crossing the equator at 0 degrees latitude, not longitude. If you cross the equator (0 degrees latitude) at 0 or 180 degrees longitude, there is an additional status included.
What is the name for 0 longitude?
Prime Meridian. 180 longitude is the Iinternational Date Line, and the equator is 0 degrees latitude
How many degrees of longitude are between north and south pole?
The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles. There are 180 degrees of latitude between the North and South Poles, and 90 degrees of latitude between each pole and the Equator.
What is located at 5 degrees south latitude and 250 degrees east longitude?
The maximum degree of longitude is only 180.
