How many longitudes are there?
The same as the total number of different lengths that can be measured on a3-foot ruler. If you name two longitudes, then no matter how close togetherthey are, I can always name another longitude that's in between yours. Sothere's no limit to the number of different longitudes that we can name.
Do the longitudes intersect each other?
If they did, then you'd have two different longitudes at the same point, which isgenerally a no-no.The only places where that happens is at the north and south poles, where all longitudesconverge (meet, come together).
What is the time difference between two latitudes?
there is no time difference between any two locations separated by x-amount of latitude as long as they are on the same longitude. When they are on different longitudes and separated by latitude count the number of longitudes between the locations to get the time difference
What is the total degrees of longitude around the world?
The same as the total number of different lengths that can be measured on a3-foot ruler. If you name two longitudes, then no matter how close togetherthey are, I can always name another longitude that's in between yours. Sothere's no limit to the number of different longitudes that we can name.
How two coastal cities have the same latitude and elevation but are located near different oceans?
Easy, if their longitudes are different. Examples: -- San Francisco and Virginia Beach VA have about the same latitude. -- HongKong and Havana, Cuba have about the same latitude. -- San Diego, Charleston SC, and Casablanca, Morocco have about the same latitude.

Why are longitudes called meridians of longitudes?
as all the places on the same longitude have their noon at the same time

Why length of longitudes the same?
Every meridian of longitude connects the same two points . . . the north and south poles.
Why is it not the same time everywhere on earth?
It is not the same time everywhere on earth because of the position of the sun. Because the Sun can not be on all sides of the earth at once, time must be different, other wise in a foreign country like Japan it would be 9:00 am and be dark as night but to them it would be morning. So to control this times are different.
Which two cities in western hemisphere have the same longitude?
For ANY city in the western hemisphere that you can name,there are one or more others at the same longitude.For example,Lima, PeruBuenaventura, ColombiaSpanishtown, JamaicaLas Tunas, CubaNew Bern, North CarolinaWaverly, VirginiaWashington, DCWestminster, MarylandWilliamsport, PennsylvaniaGeneva, New YorkNapanee, OntarioBeattyville, Quebecare all in the western hemisphere, and ALL have the same longitude.This list alone gives you 66 possible answers to the question. and itonly uses one longitude. Technically, there are an infinite number ofother longitudes in the western hemisphere, but even if you only wantto examine longitudes that are 1/2 degree apart, that still gives you359 different longitudes to look at in the hemisphere.
Why are the lines of longitudes equal?
Every meridian of longitude has nominally the same length, because they all connect the same two points ... the north and south poles.
What are 3 qualities of the lines of longitude?
-- they are semi-circles -- they are not parallel -- they join the north and south poles -- they are perpendicular to the equator -- the higher the latitude, the closer together any two longitudes are -- at the poles, all longitudes are the same point -- for every longitude west, there is an equal longitude east
