Is a method of finding latitude longitude and elevation of points on earths surface using a network of satellites?
Global Positioning System
What is the method for finding latitude and longitude longitude and elevation of points on earths surface by using networks of satellites called?
The network of satellites operated and maintained by the USA is the Global Positioning System (GPS). There are other systems, comprised of other constellations of satellites, and operated and maintained by other countries.
What is the Network of parallels and meridians on the globe is called?
You mean latitude and longitude?
What is a network of imaginary lines?
A grid. One system is called longitude and latitude
The network of lines of latitude and longitude that make up the coordinate system of earth?
grid system
A system of satellite tracking that establishes the latitude and longitude of a person or object?
Global Positioning System (GPS) is a system of satellite tracking that uses a network of satellites to determine the latitude and longitude of a person or object on Earth. It provides accurate and real-time information about the location, speed, and altitude of the target. GPS is widely used in various applications, including navigation, transportation, and outdoor activities.
What kind of network is a terrestrial network?
It depends on the specifics of the network. If it involves satellites, no. If there are no satellites, then yes.
The global positioning system uses a network of satellites to determine the latitude longitude and elevation of a specific area.?
It's all down to timing ! Ground stations 'decode' the amount of time it takes for a signal to 'bounce' from the satellite to the Earth. This pinpoints the location of each GPS satellite - and thus the necessary calculations produce the coordinates
What is a network of imaginary lines called?
A network of imaginary lines is called a grid or a system of coordinates. It is commonly used in mapping, navigation, and plotting locations on a map or graph.
How gps works without internet?
GPS does not use internet, it uses a constellation of US Airforce satellites that transmit coded radio messages. A GPS receiver picking up the radio messages from at least 4 of these satellites can decode them and determine latitude, longitude, altitude, and UTC time with great accuracy.
How do lines of latitude and longitude divide the world into grids?
On maps, lines of latitude divide the Earth into "rings" of mainly 18 parts with each "ring" having 10 degrees latitude. Lines of longitude then cut across the lines of latitude and thus forming grids. There are mainly 36 lines of longitude spaced at 10 degrees longitude apart. In the end, there are 648 grids on a map if split up in this way.
What network makes GPS possible?
The network of 36 satellites orbiting Earth for the purpose does.
