In which way is latitude measured on a map or globe?
Latitude is measured on a map or globe in degrees, with the equator being 0 degrees and the North and South Poles being 90 degrees north and south, respectively.
How is distance measured from the Equator?
Distance from the Equator is measured using lines of latitude. The Equator is designated as 0 degrees latitude, and distances are measured in degrees, minutes, and seconds north or south of the Equator.
What on a globe are measured in what?
On a globe, locations are measured using latitude and longitude. Latitude lines run horizontally and measure distances north or south of the equator in degrees, while longitude lines run vertically and measure distances east or west of the Prime Meridian. Each degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles apart, while the distance between longitude lines varies based on the latitude. Together, these coordinates help pinpoint exact locations on Earth.
What unit would you use to measure a globe?
The radius of a sphere would be measured in some unit of length, depending upon how large the sphere is. If the globe is a planet, I would use kilometers.
Which is used to measure distances in degrees from the prime medirian?
The measurement used to determine distances in degrees from the prime meridian is called longitude. Longitude lines run vertically from the North Pole to the South Pole and are measured in degrees, with the prime meridian at 0 degrees. Distances east and west of the prime meridian are expressed in degrees up to 180 degrees in either direction.
How many degrees of longitude of arc on the globe?
All the way around anything that's measured in angles is typically 360 degrees, and the earth is no exception.
What are the paralles of latitude?
The angular distance north or south of the earths equator, measured in degrees, along a meridian, as on the map or globe.
How many meridians can be drawn on a globe at an interval of 10 degrees?
A globe can have 36 meridians drawn at 10-degree intervals. This is because meridians are lines of longitude that extend from the North Pole to the South Pole, and they are measured from 0 degrees (the Prime Meridian) to 360 degrees. Dividing the 360 degrees by 10 degrees gives 36 meridians.
How are distances of planets measured?
they are measured in AU
How do you measure interstellar distances in EVE online?
Long distances are measured in AU in Eve Online. For short distances, it is measured in KM.
How are distances to ballpark fences measured?
The distances are measured from the tip of home plate to the bottom of the fence.
What units are distances to stars measured in and why?
Usually such distances are measured either in light-years, or in parsecs.
