What do we call the place where latitude and longitude lines cross?
The latitude and longitude of a place are known as its co-ordinates.
What is the latitude and longitude cross called?
It's an intersection. Some people call it a confluence.
What do astronomers call latitude and longitude?
When astronomers are working with geographic maps, they call latitude "latitude"and longitude "longitude".When they're working with celestial maps, they refer to the analogous celestial coordinatesas "Declination" and "Right Ascension".
What do you call the intersection of latitude and longitude?
the middle of the earth or a dlido
What do you call the lines that make up the grid on your maps?
Those are called latitude and longitude lines. Latitude lines run east-west, measuring north and south of the Equator. Longitude lines run north-south, measuring east and west of the Prime Meridian. Together, they help determine specific locations on a map.
What is the latitude and longitude point for Philadelphia?
Well, what 'point' do you want to call the location of Philadelphia, realizing that every point on Earth has a different set of latitude/longitude coordinates, and realizing how many different points there are in Philadelphia ? The center of the Logan Square fountain is located at 39.95794° north latitude 75.17059° west longitude, whereas the west end of Runway-9R at Philadelphia International Airport is located at 39.86083° north latitude 75.27509° west longitude. Other spots around town have somewhat different coordinates. .
What is the another name for a parrallels of longitude?
There are no parallels of longitude, because longitudinal lines aren't parallel. We call them "meridians". Lines of latitude ARE parallel, and so the expression "45th parallel" would be an accurate description.
What do you call lines that run east and west north and south of the equator?
Lines of longitude run vertically from the north pole to the south pole. The Prime Meridian (zero longitude) runs through the Greenwich Observatory, London, England. Lines that run parallel to the Equator (zero latitude) are lines of latitude.
Why do you call it only latitude and longitude why not anything else?
Other labels were suggested for those place-coordinates. One after another, the forms were filled out and submitted, and rejected and returned by the authorities. "Temperature", "color", "altitude", "beauty", "fortitude", "voltage", "amplitude", and "steadfastness" were all taken, and it was finally necessary to settle for "latitude" and "longitude", although they were far from the first choices, and everybody in the nautical business would have much preferred words with more pzazz.
What do you call 0 degrees latitude and longitude?
The point where the equator crosses the prime meridian is known as the Null Island, with coordinates (0, 0). It is a fictional island and serves as a placeholder for data where coordinates are invalid or not available.
Why don't we use latitude and longitude for celestial coordinates?
We more or less do, we just call them declination and right ascension instead. The two concepts are mathematically equivalent.
What do you call zero latitude?
I call it the latitude of any point on the equator.
