Which line on maps and globes is the starting place for meauring latitude?
The equator is the starting line for measuring lines of latitude
What is the terminal point for measuring latitude?
The starting point for measuring latitude is the equator... zero degrees. There are two terminal points of latitude: 90 degrees north (the true north pole, not the magnetic north pole), and; 90 degrees south (the true south pole, not the magnetic south pole). When measuring latitude the reference point is always the equator, and the numbers are given as (for example) North 40 degrees, 16 minutes, 13 seconds... or in the real world of sailboats & ships: "North 40 decimal 16 decimal 13".
Is it true that the equator is the starting line for measuring latitude in degrees north and south of the equator?
Yes it is.
What is the starting lines for measuring latitude and longitude?
Latitude is an angle measured north or south from the equator. Longitude is an angle measured east or west from the Prime Meridian
What is a a line of latitude called?
90 degrees. That far north of the equator brings you to the north pole, while that far south of the equator brings you to . . . . . wait for it . . . . . you guessed it . . . . . the south pole.

Do latitude units go east and west?
No. The latitude of a point on Earth is the angle on the surface starting at the equator and measuring north or south to the point of interest. All points on Earth that have the same latitude form a line that displays east-west on a map or globe.
What is the starting point for measuring longitude?
the prime meridian is the starting point when measuring the longitude
When measuring motion the starting point is called the?
reference point

What is the latitude of the nile river?
The latitude at the starting point of the Nile River is 31 degrees north. The latitude of the end point of the Nile is 7 degrees south.
When stating the absolute location of a place you always give the longitude first.?
False. When stating the absolute location of a place, latitude is always given before longitude. The format is typically latitude first, then longitude.
