What else can I help you with?
Imaginary lines used to measer distance north and sounth of the equator are lines of what?
it is longitude
What distance are lines of longitude used to know?
None. The distances between the lines of longitude are a meaningless concept. These lines measure angular distance around the world around the equator. Each degree of longitude is approx 111 km at the equator and 0 km at the poles.
What are sets of numbers that show where lines of longitude and latitude meet are called?
Sets of numbers that show where lines of latitude and longitude meet are called coordinates. Coordinates are used to specify exact locations on the Earth's surface.
Imaginary lines used to measure distance north and south of the Equator are lines of?
longitude and latitude we use these as coordinates to find certain places on the globe
Lines of the globe?
The lines on a globe refer to latitude and longitude lines that help locate points on Earth's surface. Latitude lines run east-west and measure a point's distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run north-south and measure a point's distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. These lines intersect at specific points to create a grid system used for navigation and mapping.
What is loditude?
Latitude and Longitude. Both are imaginary lines that circle the earth and are used to measure distance and position. Lines of Latitude run east and west and lines of longitude run north and south. By intersecting two lines you can give an accurate position anywhere on the earth.
What is the lines of latitude and Meridian of longitude?
Lines of latitude are imaginary lines that run north and south around the Earth. Meridian of longitude are imaginary lines that run east and west around the Earth. These lines work together to show locations on a map or globe.
What do lines of latitude measure on earth?
Lines of latitude and longitude are used to form a grid encompassing the globe so that any position can be identified and located. Latitude is used to measure distance north and south of the equator, while longitude is used to measure distance east and west of the prime meridian.
What colour is used for the lines of longitude?
The lines of longitude are represented in green on most maps and globes.
Imaginary lines on the earth's surface running north to south and used to measure distance east to west?
Meridians of constant longitude.
What is the logic behind lines of latitude and longitude?
Lines of latitude and longitude are imaginary lines used to locate points on the Earth's surface. Latitude lines run east-west and measure the distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run north-south and measure the distance east or west of the prime meridian (which runs through Greenwich, England). Together, these lines create a grid system that allows for precise navigation and location identification on Earth.
What Lines connecting points to the same longitude are called?
Lines connecting points to the same longitude are called meridians. These lines run from the North Pole to the South Pole and are used to measure the Earth's longitudinal coordinates. Each meridian is defined by its angular distance east or west of the Prime Meridian, which is set at 0 degrees longitude.
