Which was more difficult to determine latitude or longitude?

Longitude because you needed a chronometer and it hadn't been invented yet.


Which was more difficult to determine latitude or longitude and why?

Longitude was historically more difficult to determine than latitude because longitude is determined by measuring time differences between a reference point (such as Greenwich, England) and the observer's location, which required accurate timekeeping devices. Latitude, on the other hand, can be determined by measuring the angle of the North Star or the sun relative to the horizon.


Why is determining latitude easier than longitude?

Longitude proved more difficult to determine because longitude was based in the concept of time, making clocks an important variable in navigation. The time and distance in addition to the use of the sextant for latitude proved more difficult than measuring the latitude.


Why do scientists use latitude and longitude and not kilometres?

longitude and latitude are more scientific words so it makes them seem smarter


What is the latitude and longitude of the tropical rain forest?

There are manytropical rainforests, and they each take up more than one latitude and longitude.


How do global positioning systems use elevation on earths system to find latitude and longitude?

GPS receivers do not 'use' elevation for anything. They use the signals from several satellites simultaneously to calculate the latitude, longitude, and elevation of the receiver's location. It takes a minimum of three satellites to calculate the latitude and longitude, a minimum of four satellites to calculate the latitude, longitude, and elevation, if more satellites can be found the latitude, longitude, and elevation calculations can be refined more accurately.

What unit do geographers use to measure map locations?

The unit of measurement that is used to determine absolute location in geography is the latitude and longitude system. This form of measurement uses degrees and minutes to measure the specific location of places.


Does lines of meridian help us determine absolute location?

Yes, lines of longitude (meridians) help determine absolute location on Earth by providing a reference point based on the Prime Meridian (0°) and the International Date Line (180°). Longitude lines run north-south and intersect with latitude lines to pinpoint exact locations using degrees of latitude and longitude.


What is the location of aisa where the lines of latitude and longitude meet?

You'll have to be more specific. Every latitude crosses all longitudes, and every longitude crosses all latitudes.
