Commercial satellites are in geosynchronous orbit around the equator. They are each at a particular longitude. The direction you need to point your dish then depends on where you are. In northern Canada, dishes point at a very shallow angle to the south. In California, they are pointing around 45 degrees up and some amount east or west. Find out the longitude of the satellite you want and then look up on the satellite company's website (or do an Internet search) for the angles to aim (one angle is skyward, the other north/south/east/west).
what is orions longitude hours with latitude
the prime meridian is the starting point when measuring the longitude
Zero degrees longitude is the prime meridian, the line of longitude that passes through Greenwich, England.
For Latitude, the Equator is the zero point. For Longitude, the Prime Meridian at Greenwich UK, is the starting point of zero.
The North and South Poles.
The Prime Meridian - in Greenwich, England - is where the starting point for measuring longitude is.
Using Berlin, Germany as a starting point, Germany's longitude is 13 deg. 24 min. E.
Greenwich, England is located exactly at 0 degrees longitude, and it is considered the starting point for measuring longitude around the world.
The middle line of longitude is the Prime Meridian, located at 0 degrees longitude. It is the starting point for measuring east and west distances around the globe.
The equator is the zero reference line for latitude, and the Prime Meridian is the one for longitude.
The Prime Meridian is a line of longitude that passes through Greenwich, England, and is used as the starting point for measuring longitude around the world.
Yes it is. It is the starting point to measure degrees East or West.
The coordinates of the starting point in Maine are 45.9044° N (longitude), 68.9213° W (latitude) and the coordinates of the ending point in Georgia are 34.6267° N (longitude), 84.1936° W (latitude).
