What is the latitude and longitude of Gemini?
The system of latitudes and longitudes is a method used to locate points on the Earth's surface. There is a similar coordinate system used to locate objects in the sky, but it's not latitude/longitude.
How is a degree if longitude or latitude further subdivided?
Longitude and latitude are given in degrees, each degree is 60 minutes, each minute is 60 seconds.A coordinate might be written similar to 65° 32' 15" (degree °, minute ', second ").
Large geographic areas that have similar climates and ecosystems?
Biomes
How does the lines if longitude look?
Peel an orange. The lines between the sections of the orange are similar to the pattern of longitude lines on the globe.
What does geographic boundary mean?
A border that follows a river or mountain range or similar natural feature.
What system is the celestial coordinate system most similar to?
The celestial coordinate system is exactly analogous to the terrestrial positioning system based on latitude and longitude. Terrestrial latitude ---> celestial 'declination'. Terrestrial longitude ---> celestial 'right ascension', where one 'hour' = 15 degrees.

How is a coordinate plane similar to a coordinate system?
The coordinate system can be in any number of dimensions whereas the coordinate plane is a 2-dimensional concept.
Which soil horizon is chemically most similar to the underlying bedrock or unaltered sediment?
C-Horizon
How are lines of latitude and longitude similar?
they are always equal
Large geographic areas that have similar climates and ecosystems?
Biomes
What is the longitude and latitude of constellation Gemini?

How do latitude and longitude help identify your exact location on earth?
Latitude is a geographic coordinate that specifies the north-south position of a point on the Earth's surface, while longitude specifies the east-west position. Lines of latitudes are horizontal lines parallel to the equator and longitude (or meridians) are vertical lines. Latitude and longitude are used in a map grid system.Latitude and longitude are similar to large cities having streets running in one direction (e.g., East-West) and avenues running perpendicular (e.g., North-South) such that if you know a street number and avenue intersection you can find any places relative to any intersection (e.g. 5th Avenue and East 75th Street).Latitude and longitude use the same concept such that knowing the coordinates can locate an exact point on the planet. Latitude and longitude is easier than streets and avenues because latitude and longitude is consistent across the planet, while streets and avenues are not. In addition, you can add decimal places to the coordinates to get more a precise location to map down to a single point plus or minus a centimeter or even smaller if needed.

What is the midpoint of (3 5) and (-6 -6)?
The x-coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the x-coordinates of the two given points. Similar for the y-coordinate.
