What else can I help you with?
Where can you see latitude and longitude?
You can see latitude and longitude on maps and globes, since they are imaginary lines that cannot be seen on the surface of Earth.
What two location on globe only list latitude lines but not longitude lines?
The north and south poles are at 90° latitude, and ALL longitudes meet there so longitude at the poles is irrelevant. Honestly, it's much easier to discuss these things if you forget about "lines".
North Pole and South Pole line is longitude or latitude?
Both poles are noted as 90 degrees. At the poles, all lines of longitude meet. You could say that the poles, then, are indicated as 90 degrees of latitude, but since there is no longitude, latitude can be assumed.
What is the point called when latitude and longitude lines touch?
There is no term for where "latitude and longitude meet" since they are not absolutely defined points or lines; instead, they are coordinates which must be used in tandem to define a point and can vary over any part of the earth's surface (or any object which is given a system of latitude and longitude).
How can you find your approximate latitude and longitude at sea?
You can find your approximate latitude using a sextant to measure the angle of the sun or the North Star above the horizon. For longitude, you need an accurate clock to determine the time difference between noon at your location and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) since Earth rotates 15 degrees longitude per hour. By combining your latitude and longitude measurements, you can plot your position on a nautical chart.
What is the Longitude or latitude that passes through north pole?
The North Pole is located at a latitude of 90 degrees North. Since all lines of longitude converge at the poles, every line of longitude (from 0 degrees to 180 degrees East and West) passes through the North Pole. Thus, while the latitude at the North Pole is fixed, the longitude can be considered variable.
Where is longitude and latitude at on a worlds map?
Clever. That's a lot like asking "Where in my body am I ?" Since the system of latitude and longitude is a system invented for the purpose of describing locations on the surface of the earth, and is uniquely and exhaustively appropriate to that purpose, the complete answer consists of two parts: 1). The world is located at every imaginable and every possible latitude and longitude. 2). Every latitude and longitude is a location somewhere in the world.
Which capital city is located at 15 degrees latitude and 100 degrees longitude?
Since you did not specify the directions of the latitude and longitude lines, the best assumption would be 15 degrees north latitude and 100 degrees east longitude. However, there is no capital city located there, and none at the other combinations. It is actually Chainat province in Thailand.
How are the lines of latitude and longitude alike?
A few similarities include:-- Both are sets of imaginary lines. You may be standing exactly on one, ordriving, sailing or flying over it, but you see no line there.-- Both are loci (locuses) of constant angles. One is a locus of constant latitude,the other is a locus of constant longitude.-- Both are markers of angles corresponding to the familiar, ordinary, everydaypolar coordinate system.-- Both are almost universally misunderstood.-- There is no limit to the number of either set. There are potentially an infinite numberof longitude lines, since a line may be drawn at any longitude. And there are potentiallyan infinite number of latitude lines, since a line may be drawn at any latitude.-- Every member of one set intersects ALL of the members of the other set.-- Both may or may not be printed on any given globe or map. It's the publisher's choice.-- When they are printed on a map or globe, the interval between lines is also completelyup to the publisher.A few differences include:-- All longitude lines intersect, but no latitude lines intersect.-- Latitude lines are complete circles, but longitude lines are semi-circles.-- Latitude lines are all parallel, but no two longitude lines are parallel.-- All longitude lines are 1/2 of a great circle of the Earth, but only one latitude line(the equator) is a great circle of the Earth.-- All longitude lines are the same length, but for each latitude line, there is onlyone other that has the same length.-- Longitude lines are all centered on the Earth's center, but latitude lines are allcentered somewhere on the Earth's axis.
What single figure is the latitude and longitude coordinate of the south pole?
The south pole is defined as 90° south latitude.ALL longitudes converge there.
What is the point called at which lines of latitude and longitude cross?
The absolute location. There was never much need to find a name for such a place, since every parallel of latitude crosses every meridian of longitude, and every meridian crosses every parallel.
Where lines of latitude and longitude intersect is called?
Oh, dude, that's an easy one. When lines of latitude and longitude intersect, it's called a coordinate or a point. So, like, when you're looking for a specific location on a map, you use those coordinates to pinpoint where you need to go. It's like playing a giant game of Battleship, but with real places.
