When Line of latitude run in a north south direction but are measured in what degrees?
No line of latitude is a north/south line. A move to the north or south is a change of latitude.
Latitude is measured North and South of which imaginary line?
the equator
What is north andsouth line from which all other north and south lines are measured?
I'm not sure what you mean by a "north and south line". On the Earth's surface: -- The equator is the circle of zero reference for latitude, from which the north and south latitude of all places are measured. -- The Prime Meridian is the semi-circle of zero reference for longitude, from which the east and west longitudes of all places are measured.
Does latitude have to be measured straight north or south from the equator?
It does. It is the plane angle, measured at the centre of the earth, between the given position and the equator due south or north of that position. The third dimention is not necessary until longitude is added.
Does latitude run north to south or east to west?
latitude runs East to west. Longitude runs north to south. In other words, the lines of latitude are measured in degrees north and south of the equator and lines of longitude are measured in degrees east and west of the prime meridian.
Latitude is measured north and south from the?
latitude runs north to south and longitude runs to east to west so dont get it mix up
What is distance north or south of the equator called?
The distance north or south of the equator is measured in degrees of latitude. For example, the equator is measured at 0 degrees; Sydney Australia lies 33.51 degrees south of the equator; Helsinki Finland lies 60 degrees north of the equator.
What line is the starting point for latitude?
A latitude is measured in degrees from the equator to the north (or south) pole. I assume that you mean, "What is the line that forms the zero degrees latitude?" The answer is the Equator.
Is latitude another name of the equator?
No, latitude is not another name for the equator. The equator is a specific line of latitude at 0 degrees, and latitude refers to the angular distance north or south of the equator measured in degrees.
Is Wellington North or South of the 40 degrees S line of latitude?
The latitude at the center of Wellington is about 41.3° South. That's south of the 40 degrees South line of Latitude.
What is the minimum and maximum degrees measured in latitude?
Latitudes range from zero to 90 degrees.The equator is the line of zero latitude.The north pole is 90 degrees north latitude.The south pole is 90 degrees south latitude.
What way does a line of latitude go?
NortH and south
