What is the distance between two longitudes at the equator?
At the equator, the circumference of the Earth is 40,075.16 km ( 24,901.55 miles). Divide that into 360 equal pieces to get the distance for each one degree of longitude. A degree of longitude at the equator is equal to 111.32 km.
Does one degree of longitude equal 270 km?
The distance represented by one degree of longitude varies according to distance from the equator. That's because the meridians of longitude are equally distributed around the equator but all converge to a single point at the north and south poles. The greatest distance between any two meridians of longitude, then, is the distance between the points where they cross the equator. Along the equator, one degree of longitude covers about 111.1 kilometers.
What is distance between Acapulco and the Equator?
Acapulco, located in Mexico, is approximately 16.8 degrees north of the Equator. Given that each degree of latitude is roughly 69 miles (111 kilometers), the distance from Acapulco to the Equator is about 1,160 miles (1,860 kilometers).
How far is Singapore from the ocean?
About 200km north. 1 degree north from the equator.
How many miles is it between two parrallels 1 degree apart if the approximate miles from the equator is 6200?
The distance between two parallels (lines of latitude) that are 1 degree apart can be calculated using the approximate circumference of the Earth at the equator, which is about 24,901 miles. Since there are 360 degrees in a circle, the distance between each degree of latitude is approximately 24,901 miles divided by 360, which equals about 69.17 miles. Therefore, the distance between two parallels that are 1 degree apart is approximately 69 miles.
What is the distance from Vietnam to the equator?
Vietnam is of S-shape country that lies between the Equator (0 degree) and the Cancer circle (23.5 degree north)
The distance covered by a degree of longitude?
All longitudes converge (meet, come together) at the north and south pole. A drawing ofthe globe with some of the meridians added looks like the drawing of a peeled orange, andthe distance between two meridians depends on how far from the equator you measure it.One degree of longitude measured along the equator represents a distance of about 69.1 miles (111 km),and it shrinks steadily to zero at the poles.In general, it's(distance measured at the equator) multiplied by (cosine of the latitude where you measure it)
Is 89 degree north closer to the equator than is 40 degree south?
No, 40oS is closer. The number of degrees is the angle/distance from the equator. North/South is simply the direction in which you are moving away from the equator.
What is distance in degree north and south of the equator?
That's latitude. The distance to the north or south pole from the equator is 90° Therefore, the distance from the north pole to the south pole, in degrees, is 180°. The distance in degrees to a certain location from the equator is referred to as the latitude. For instance, I am at about 49° latitude, or at a 49° angle from the equator if you were positioned at the center of the earth. Each degree of latitude is about 69 miles (111 km).
Where is equator?
The equator is on the 0 degree latitude that is between the north and south poles. So obviously it is between the poles.
If it is approximately 6200 miles from the equator to the North or south pole how many miles is it between two parallels 1 degree apart?
90 degrees from the equator to either pole, so 6200 divided by 90 is...68.8888888888888888888888888888888888...
Is peru located between the equator and the 10 degree south latitude line?
Yes, Peru is located between the Equator and the 10 degree south latitude line. It lies mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, with its northernmost regions crossing the Equator.
