The Equator is the latitude line with a given value of 0-degrees. There Equator runs completely around the Earth. There are 360-longitude lines that intersect the Equator.
There's no such point with that description. -- Two different latitudes are specified. The equator is zero, and "20N" is not on the equator. -- The longitude isn't given at all.
Given a starting point at 0 degrees longitude on the equator, a distance of 100 miles east or west is approximately 1.4 degrees.However, the lines of longitude are closer together towards the poles and furthest from each other along the equator. So, if you start from Greenland with a latitude of 75 degrees and travel 100 miles east or west then you travel 5.7 degrees in longitude. As you approach the poles, all lines of longitude converge into a single point so traveling from the equator to the poles increases the number of degrees in a given distance traveled on the globe.
The special name given to lines of latitude is "parallels," and the special name given to lines of longitude is "meridians." These lines form a grid system that helps in locating any point on the Earth's surface.
It does. It is the plane angle, measured at the centre of the earth, between the given position and the equator due south or north of that position. The third dimention is not necessary until longitude is added.
The Equator is the latitude line with a given value of 0-degrees. There Equator runs completely around the Earth. There are 360-longitude lines that intersect the Equator.
As Sweden is a country and occupies a significant area, no single latitude and longitude coordinates can be given.

The 0 degrees latitude line is called the equator.

Yeahh. You always do latitude, then longitude. =)
Longitude is the angular distance measured east or west of the Prime Meridian, which runs through Greenwich, England. Latitude is the angular distance measured north or south of the Equator. Together, they form a coordinate system that allows for precise location determination on Earth.
You can calculate the longitude of a place when time is given using the Greenwich solar time.
The difference between any meridian and the equator:-The Equator is an imaginary line of latitude (it goes round the middle of the Earth in the plane in which the Earth spins) it is also a "Great Circle" in that the plane of the equator passes through the middle of the Earth.Meridians are imaginary lines of longitude (they pass through the North and South Poles of Earth and are therefore at 90 degrees to the plane in which the Earth spins). Meridians/lines of longitude are also "Great Circles".The difference between the prime meridian and the equator:-The Equator is 0 degrees latitude while the Prime Meridian is 0 degrees longitude.
What is the difference between longitude and latitude? Given it's longitude and latitude, can you locate the area?
