The question is somewhat vague, but I think you may be asking: Why are
different lines of latitude marked with different numbers ?
I'd compare that to the question: Why are different marks on the ruler marked
with different numbers ?
The reason is because both of them are systems invented to help you measure
things. The marks on the ruler help you estimate the length of things that you
place the ruler on, by showing you where a few exact lengths are. And the
horizontal lines on a map or globe help you estimate the latitude of places on
the Earth, by showing you where a few exact latitudes are.
What else can I help you with?
How is the lines of latitude and longitude different?
The 'latitude' of a location is its angle north or south of the equator. The 'longitude' of a location is its angle east or west of the Prime Meridian.
What line of latitude?
Each line of latitude is an imaginary east-west circle that connects all locations on Earth that are at the same latitude. Lines of different latitudes are different size circles.
What is parallel or lines of latitude location?
They are the horizontal lines on a map.
Do lines of latitude help us determine absolute location?
Yes, lines of latitude help determine absolute location by providing a measure of how far north or south a point is from the equator. Latitude lines run east-west and are usually expressed in degrees, allowing us to pinpoint a specific location on Earth's surface.
What do these lines of latitude and longitude make?
a location.
How do you use longitude and latitude to find a location?
You find the lines of latitude and longitude and find the place that they intersect, which is your location.
When it comes to lines what indicates a location?
latitude and longitude
How do you use lines of latitude and lines of longitude to find an absolute location on a map?
Lines of latitude indicate a location's distance north or south of the Equator, while lines of longitude show its distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. By identifying the intersection of specific latitude and longitude lines, you can pinpoint an absolute location on a map. The coordinates (latitude and longitude) provide a precise geographical reference for any point on Earth.
What lines on maps are used to determine location?
Latitude and Longitude
How are lines on the globe used to indicate location?
Latitude and Longitude :)
What if globes had only latitude lines or only longitude lines?
If globes only had latitude lines, it would be difficult to determine a location's east-west position. If globes only had longitude lines, it would be challenging to determine a location's north-south position. Both latitude and longitude lines are necessary for accurately pinpointing a location on the Earth's surface.
How can you tell the difference between latitude lines and longitude lines?
Latitude lines run parallel to the equator and measure a location's distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run perpendicular to the equator and measure a location's distance east or west of the prime meridian. Latitude lines are represented by horizontal lines on maps, while longitude lines are represented by vertical lines.
