what are the importance of latitude, longitude, prime meridians is the latitude and international dateline is longitude
to know absolute locations
to know absolute locations
Latitude and longitude are able to pinpoint a certain location on Earth accurately on a map.
In terms of the importance of the "first line of latitude", the equator has to come first.
shut up . . idiot
what is the importance of the Reactangular Coordinate System in our lives.
A meridian joins together all the places with the same longitude but different latitudes.
Lines of latitude allow any position north or south of the Equator to be found with reasonably accuracy. Which, along with lines of longitude, are extremely important in the navigation of shipping.
The Tropic of Capricorn is the southernmost latitude, about 23.4 degrees of latitude south of the equator, where the sun can ever be exactly overhead (at the zenith). Not surprisingly, this latitude corresponds to the 23.4 degree tilt in the earth's axis relative to the ecliptic, the plane of earth's orbit around the sun.
even though india is having same degree of longitude and latitude (apporox 30E and 30N) because of the spherical shape and longitudes meeting in the poles the north south of india is more than the east west of india by approx 300 kms
Latitude is the measurement of degrees from the equator to the pole so that the pole has a latitude of 90 degrees. Co-latitude is the measurement of degrees from the pole to the equator so that the equator has a latitude of 90 degrees. Also the sum of latitude and co-latitude is always 90 degrees.
