What is the imaginary line that runs through India?
Many imaginary lines run through India. Latitudes and longitudes for instance.
A measurement of something's ability to do work?
The measurement of one's ability to do work, in scientific terms, is energy.
Recording the location of a star requires a measurement of?
Recording the location of a star requires a measurement of altitude, azimuth, and time.
What is the unit of measurement for the length of a whiteboard?
A metre.
What is ancient measurement system?
The ancient measurement system of which applied to early greeks, romans, egyptians, arabs, and parts of Gaul and Spain; Is Shinto.
How many longitudes are?
There are 360 longitudes
Where can one find more information about longitudes?
A longitude is a geographic measurement used to find a location on a map. You can find more information on this topic on the website wikipedia, this gives a more detailed explanation.
Why are longitudes called meridians of longitudes?
as all the places on the same longitude have their noon at the same time
Where do longitudes meet?
At the poles.
How many longitudes are there?
The same as the total number of different lengths that can be measured on a3-foot ruler. If you name two longitudes, then no matter how close togetherthey are, I can always name another longitude that's in between yours. Sothere's no limit to the number of different longitudes that we can name.
What longitudes and latitudes is Afghanistan between?
to the nearest minute between longitudes 60e31 & 74e53 & between latitudes 29n22 & 38n29
Why are latitudes concentric but longitudes meet at the poles?
Latitudes are parallel to the equator. Longitudes converge like elastics on a soccer ball.
Who created the latitudes and the longitudes?
ptolemy
Why are longitudes parallel?
They aren't, latitudes are.
Why are latitudes and longitudes always expressed in angles?
1). They are both intervals on the curved surface of a sphere, so units of linear measurement would not do the job. 2). In the case of longitude, all longitudes merge (come together) at the north and south poles. So the distance represented by 1 degree of longitude is not the same distance everywhere. It depends on your latitude.
Do the longitudes intersect each other?
If they did, then you'd have two different longitudes at the same point, which isgenerally a no-no.The only places where that happens is at the north and south poles, where all longitudesconverge (meet, come together).
How are longitudes?
They're all well, thank you.
