What else can I help you with?
Do you find any difference in the distance between the longitudes from the equator to the poles?
Yes you do. One degree of longitude spans about 69 miles along the equator, but no distance at all at the poles. The longitudes are evenly distributed around the globe, but they all converge (meet) at both poles. So it's easy to understand why they must draw closer and closer together as you move from the equator to either pole.
The distance between the longitudes decreases towards?
The distance between the longitudes decreases towards the poles. This is because the lines of longitude converge towards the poles, resulting in shorter distances between them as you move towards the North or South Pole.
Why are latitudes concentric but longitudes meet at the poles?
Latitudes are parallel to the equator. Longitudes converge like elastics on a soccer ball.
What are the coordinates for equator?
The equator is the line midway between the earth's poles, defined as 'zero degrees latitude'.All possible longitudes intersect the equator.
Why is there a difference in nautical miles 1 degree longitude between the equator and the poles?
Because all 360 degrees of longitude are evenly distributed around the whole Earth,but that whole distance around shrinks as you move from the equator to the poles.Along the equator, one degree of longitude is about 69 miles (111 km). That distanceprogressively shrinks as you move away from the equator, and exactly at the poles,it's zero! All longitudes converge (come together) at the poles.
How Distinguish between latitudes and longitudes?
Lines of latitude run parallel to the equator. Lines of longitude run vertically - passing through both poles.
What is the line between the two poles called?
The lines joining the two poles are longitudes.
The difference in temperature between the equator and poles?
It is more COLDER in the POLES and it is more WARMER by the EQUATOR.So therefore the temperature by the equator is warmer and the temperature by the poles is much colder.
How many miles in between the earth's longitudes?
It depends on what latitude you're on. At 90o latitude, there are 0 miles between them. At the Equator, there are slightly over 69 miles between the earth's longitudes per degree of arc.
Is there any difference between the value of g at the equator and the poles?
Yes, there is a difference in the value of acceleration due to gravity (g) at the equator and the poles. This is because the Earth is not a perfect sphere and has an oblate shape. At the equator, the centrifugal force due to the Earth's rotation reduces the effective gravity and makes g slightly smaller compared to the poles where this effect is minimal.
He didstance between two consecutive longitudes ar the poles?
zero
Where is equator?
The equator is on the 0 degree latitude that is between the north and south poles. So obviously it is between the poles.
