lines of latitude
At a guess at the rather obscure question: Lines of latitude measures the degrees north or south of the Equator.
Lines of longitude
lines of latitude
The horizontal lines on a map or globe that indicate distance north or south of the Equator.
The angular distance north or south of the earths equator, measured in degrees, along a meridian, as on the map or globe.
Yes, you've got the right idea, but they're only horizontal if you're holding your map the right way.
lines of latitude
The lines that run east and west are called latitude lines. The lines that run north and south are called longitude lines. Together, they form a grid that can be used to locate any point on the Earth.
how far north or south a point is from the equator....
North and South.
Lines of longitude
The map scale is a part of the map that is used to measure distance. The map scale can often be found in or around the map legend.
distance
lines of latitude
The horizontal lines on a map or globe that indicate distance north or south of the Equator.
The lines on a map that form a grid system are called latitude and longitude lines. Latitude lines run horizontally and measure distance north and south of the equator, while longitude lines run vertically and measure distance east and west of the Prime Meridian.
Using a ruler which marked by Centimeters will more helpful to measure the distance of a map.
The straight-line distance is 1741.4 miles. This is the true straight line distance which accounts for the curvature of the earth, NOT the straight line drawn on a map.
