What is total number of longitudes?

Answer 1

That's exactly the same as asking "How many different lengths are there on

a piece of rope ?"

There's no limit to the possible number of different measurements. If you name

two different measurements, then no matter how close together they are, I can

always name a new one that's in between yours.

'Latitude' on Earth covers a range of 180 degrees, from -90 at the south pole

to +90 at the north pole.

'Longitude' covers a range of 360 degrees, being the angle that you can travel

in an east or west direction, from the place you start, all the way around the Earth

to the place you started from. Just like any other circle.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

The range for latitude is 180 degrees .

That is, 90 degrees N - 0 degrees - 90 degrees S

The latitude at the Equator is 0 degrees

The range of Longitude is 360 degrees,

That is, 180 degrees E - 0 degrees - 180 degrees W

The Longitude at the Meridian is 0 degrees

Answer 4

That's a lot like asking "How many lengths are there on a ruler ?", and equally impossible to answer.

-- Latitudes and longitudes are angles.

-- Just as you'd expect, going all the way around the Earth in any direction is a trip of 360 degrees.

-- From the north pole to the south pole is halfway around theEarth, so it covers 180 degrees of latitude.

-- From a spot on the equator all the way around the Earth to the same spot covers 360 degrees of longitude.

Answer 5

That's like asking "How many different lengths can you measure with a ruler?"

-- There are 360 degrees of longitude all the way around the Earth. Starting from

the official zero line, they're numbered from zero to 180 in each direction.

-- Latitudes range from negative 90 degrees at the south pole, to zero at the

equator, and then to positive 90 degrees at the north pole.

Answer 6

There are an infinite number of latitudes and longitudes.

The question is a lot like asking "How many lengths are there on a ruler ?"

All the way around the Earth in an East or West direction takes you through
360 degrees of longitude. All the way around the Earth in a North or South
direction takes you through 180 degrees of latitude twice. You're free to draw
as few or as many marks as you want within those ranges. But no matter how
close together your marks are, there are always more numbers between them.

Answer 7

That's exactly the same as asking "How many different lengths are there on

a piece of rope ?"

There's no limit to the possible number of different measurements. If you name

two different measurements, then no matter how close together they are, I can

always name a new one that's in between yours.

'Latitude' on Earth covers a range of 180 degrees, from -90 at the south pole

to +90 at the north pole.

'Longitude' covers a range of 360 degrees, being the angle that you can travel

in an east or west direction, from the place you start, all the way around the Earth

to the place you started from. Just like any other circle.
