What are sets of numbers that show where lines of longitude and latitude meet are called?
Sets of numbers that show where lines of latitude and longitude meet are called coordinates. Coordinates are used to specify exact locations on the Earth's surface.
Which lines meet at the poles latitude or longitude?
longitude
Where do the zero degree line of latitude and the zero degree line of longitude meet?
Are you asking "Where is the point located whose coordinates are 0° latitude 0° longitude ?" ? That point is at sea in the Gulf of Guinea, about 385 miles south Accra, Ghana.
Where do the 55th latitude and 55th longitude meet?
The 55th latitude and the 55th longitude meet in the country of Russia. The name of the town in Russia where they meet is Bashkortostan.
What and the Prime meridian meet at 0 degrees latitude and longitude?
The equator and the Prime meridian meet at zero degrees latitude and longitude.
This is formed when the latitude and longitude lines meet?
Grid
Where do longitude and latitude lines meet?
Every point on Earth has a latitude and a longitude. No two points have the same set of two numbers.
Where do lines of longitude converge (meet)?
-- All lines of longitude meet at the north and south poles. -- No two lines of latitude ever meet or cross each other. -- Every line of longitude crosses every line of latitude. -- Every line of latitude crosses every line of longitude. -- There are an infinite number of each kind, so there are an infinite number of places where a line of longitude crosses a line of latitude. (That's kind of the whole idea of the system.)
How many degrees is one mile?
One degree is 69.11 statute miles, corresponding to0.01147 degree (52.1 seconds) per mile.BUT ...This is true for latitude anywhere on Earth, but it's only true for longitudealong the equator.All meridians ("lines") of longitude meet and merge at the north and southpoles. So as you get farther from the equator, one degree of longitude marksless distance.For longitude anywhere on Earth . . .Distance for one degree = 69.11 miles times cosine(latitude) .Degrees per mile = 0.01447 divided by cosine(latitude) .
Where lines of latitude and longitude intersect is called?
From largest to smallest, the labels are:Degrees (°)Minutes (')Seconds (")The numbers are always followed by a hemispheric notation, either N for Northern or S for Southern (longitude) and E for Eastern or W for Western hemisphere (latitude).
All lines of latitude meet at what line?
Lines of constant latitude are parallel. No two of them meet anywhere.All lines of constant latitude cross all lines of constant 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.
