0
-- The "Prime Meridian" marks zero longitude.
-- The "180th meridian" marks 180° longitude.
The International Dateline is either on or relatively near the 180th meridian
at any given latitude on it.
What else can I help you with?
What is the highest longitude lines?
The highest longitude lines are the prime meridian at 0 degrees longitude and the 180 degrees longitude line. These lines mark the starting point for longitude measurements to the east and west, respectively.
What is name of the imaginary line that divides Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres?
They are called the lines of longitude. Lines of longitude range from 0 degrees on the prime meridian to 180 degrees.
How many latitudutes and longitutues are there?
There are 180 lines of latitude, which include the equator and extend from 0° at the equator to 90° North and 90° South at the poles. For longitude, there are 360 lines, with the Prime Meridian at 0° and extending from 0° to 180° East and 180° West. Together, these lines create a grid that helps in pinpointing locations on Earth.
Does 90 degrees west longitude have a name?
No. 90 degrees longitude is not a major line of longitude. Only 0 and 180 degrees longitude, which are the Greenwich Meridian and the International Date Line respectively, are major lines of longitude.
What is the range along the lines of longitude?
Zero to 180
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.
How does longitude change as you travel west on your map?
As you travel west on a map, the longitude decreases. Longitude lines are measured in degrees, with the Prime Meridian at 0° longitude. Moving westward, each degree of longitude represents a movement from 0° toward 180°, resulting in negative values in the Western Hemisphere. For example, moving from 0° to 30° west means a change from 0° to -30° longitude.
What is the highest degree for the lines of longitude?
Longitude is labeled from zero (at the Prime Meridian) to 180 degreesin each direction, east and west, from it.
What is the range number along the lines of longitude?
Zero to 180 west and zero to 180 east.
What is the name of the numbers along the lines of longitude?
Zero to 180 east and zero to 180 west
The numbers along the lines of longitude range from what to what?
Zero to 180 east and zero to 180 west
What does the term line of longitude mean?
Lines of longitude, also known as meridians, are imaginary vertical lines that run from the North Pole to the South Pole, measuring the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian, which is designated at 0 degrees longitude. Each line is numbered in degrees, with values ranging from 0° at the Prime Meridian to 180° east and 180° west. Longitude helps in pinpointing specific locations on the Earth's surface and is essential for navigation and mapping.
