What is the total degrees of longitude around the world?
The same as the total number of different lengths that can be measured on a3-foot ruler. If you name two longitudes, then no matter how close togetherthey are, I can always name another longitude that's in between yours. Sothere's no limit to the number of different longitudes that we can name.
Where do you find the lines of longitude on the globe?
Look at a globe, or map of the world, or any large scale map (Not a road map or street plan) and there are horizontal lines (marked in degrees) & these are Latitude. The vertical lines are Longitude & they show the degrees that anywhere in the world is either East or West of Greenwich (The Prime Meridain) which is in London, England. The reason that Longitude is measured from Greenwich is because that was the HQ of the Admiralty (The British Royal Navy) when Longitude measurement was first established. Latitude had been known for centuries because itn depends entirely where the sun is in relation to the horizon in any given place. Longitude was different to measure: you need to know direction, speed & time difference & a correlation of these 3 things will tell you where you are in relation to another place. 180 degrees East & West of Greenwich is where the International Date Line runs from Pole to Pole through the Pacific Ocean
How many degrees of longitude do you need to travel across to pass through one hour of time?
The Earth rotates at the rate of roughly 15 degrees of longitude per hour.
If you were to travel along the 330 degrees longitude line from Antarctica which continent would you reach?
A longitude of 210 degrees means that you are measuring longitude from 0 to 360 degrees, which is fine, but very often people use -180 to +180 degrees, also called 180 degrees west to 180 degrees east instead. 210 degrees longitude is the same as 150 degrees west. You would pass French Polynesia and you would then make a landfall in Alaska in the USA which is in North America.
What is the latitude of Sydney?
33 degrees 50'S. latitude and longitude of sydney: -33.867387,151.207629 latitude : -33.867387 longitude : 151.207629 (Values are in decimal degrees) yep thats right. =)

What city is 54 degrees north latitude and 25 degrees east longitude in Europe?
the world of ninjas
Which place is used as standard all over world?
0.00 Degrees latitude, 0.00 degrees longitude.
How many degrees of longitude do you need to travel across to pass through one hour of time?
The Earth rotates at the rate of roughly 15 degrees of longitude per hour.
Why there are 360 meridian longitude?
Because there are 360 degrees in a circle. The world is assumed to be a globe that is formed from 360 degrees.
What is the latitude and longitude of International date line?
The degrees are 180 degrees north and all degrees west, it goes across the whole world.
What is each degrees in the earths Circumference dived into?
In the measure of any angle one degree is divided into 60 minutes, each minute subdivided into 60 seconds. Thus there are 3600 seconds in one degree, and 360 degrees in a full circle. In world navigation latitude and longitude are measured in degrees, divided as above.
What the biggest numbers you can find for a line of longitude?
If two travellers 'A' and 'B' started from the Prime Meridian (zero longitude). 'A' travelled to the West, and ''B travelled to the East, they will meet on the other side of the World at 180 degrees longitude. Therefore, the biggest number is 180 degrees longitude. The International Date Line roughly follows the 180 degrees longitude north-south line on the Earth.
How many degrees of longitude would you cross to travel halfway around the world?
180 degrees because a whole circle is 360!!!
What is the longitude called that splits hempispheres apart?
