The same as the total number of different lengths that can be measured on a
3-foot ruler. If you name two longitudes, then no matter how close together
they are, I can always name another longitude that's in between yours. So
there's no limit to the number of different longitudes that we can name.

The line of longitude marked o degrees on the world map from which longitude east and west are measured?
the prime meridian
How many degrees of longitude would you cross to cover the whole world?
This may shock you, so you'd be wise to take it sitting down:East-west angles are described as angles of longitude. The Earth is a sphere.A trip around the entire Earth is a circle. In an east or west direction, such atrip covers 360 degrees of longitude. In a north or south direction, it covers360 degrees of latitude.
How many degrees of longitude do you need to travel across to pass through one hour of time?
The Earth rotates at the rate of roughly 15 degrees of longitude per hour.
What is one hour division of longitude?
There are 360 degrees of Longitude around the Earth.The Earth rotates through all of those 360 degrees in a 24 hour period.360 degrees of rotation (in 24 hr) / 24 hours = 15 degrees of Longitude per Hour.
If you travel around the world at the equator how many miles will you have to travel?
If you go all the way around exactly once, and return exactly to your starting point, you've covered 360 degrees of longitude.
How many degrees of longitude would you cross to travel halfway around the world?
180 degrees because a whole circle is 360!!!
Where is latitude 61 degrees N - longitude 140 degrees w?
penut world
How long is 38 degrees from N to S?
If it's 38 degrees latitude, then the answer is "there is no North or South dimension to latitude - other than whether you're referring to a hemisphere. Latitude lines runs east-west." If it's 38 degrees longitude, then the answer is "half way around the world," as are all meridians of longitude. Specifically, it's around 12,420 statute miles in a perfect circle world.
Why is 180 degrees not a designed east or west?
Because it's both. 180° east longitude and 180° west longitude are both the same line, exactly halfway around the world from the Prime Meridian.
The line of longitude marked o degrees on the world map from which longitude east and west are measured?
the prime meridian
What city is 54 degrees north latitude and 25 degrees east longitude in Europe?
the world of ninjas
Which place is used as standard all over world?
0.00 Degrees latitude, 0.00 degrees longitude.

How many degrees of longitude do you need to travel across to pass through one hour of time?
The Earth rotates at the rate of roughly 15 degrees of longitude per hour.
Why there are 360 meridian longitude?
Because there are 360 degrees in a circle. The world is assumed to be a globe that is formed from 360 degrees.
What is the latitude and longitude of International date line?
The degrees are 180 degrees north and all degrees west, it goes across the whole world.
What the biggest numbers you can find for a line of longitude?
If two travellers 'A' and 'B' started from the Prime Meridian (zero longitude). 'A' travelled to the West, and ''B travelled to the East, they will meet on the other side of the World at 180 degrees longitude. Therefore, the biggest number is 180 degrees longitude. The International Date Line roughly follows the 180 degrees longitude north-south line on the Earth.
