Lines of longitude are not parallel. They all converge at both the North Pole and the South Pole. Therefore there is no numeric constant to this value. The maximum distance represented by one degree of longitude, measured along a line of latitude (that is, parallel to the Equator), would be approximately 40,076 km divided by 360, or 111.3 km (69.2 mi).
What else can I help you with?
How many miles are in one degree?
One degree of latitude, and one degree of longitude along the equator only, is equivalent to roughly 69.1 miles (111 km). One degree of latitude, and of longitude on the equator only, is also equal to about 60 nautical miles.
How many meter in a toposheet make one degree?
That would depend if you are looking at degrees of latitude or degrees of longitude. One degree of longitude represents less distance nearer the poles than it does at the equator. One degree of latitude represents the same distance anywhere on earth.
Each degree of latitude or longitude is divided into 60 smaller units called?
Minutes & seconds
180 degrees longitude?
180 degree longitude or 0 degree longitude means the same thing. Now when someone crosses this line one has to make some changes in the time e.g when one crosses this line and moves towards east it will gain one day, if one crosses and moves towards the west then one losses one day
How many kilometers in a degree at the equator?
Earth's equatorial radius is 6,378 km, so its circumference is 40,074 km (2 x pi x 6378). Dividing its circumference by 360 yields 111.32 km per degree.
How many degrees are the longitude lines in each hemisphere?
one degree, about 111 kilometers at the equator.
What is distance per degree longitude at 10 degrees latitude in kilometers?
about 109.4
How many degree in Longitude east?
180
How many degree longitude is France?
france is at a longitude of 5 degree btw dont trust anything this website says
How many degrees in longitude is in four minutes?
There are 1 degree of longitude for every 15 minutes. Therefore, 4 minutes of longitude is equal to 1/15th of a degree.
How many seconds of longitude are in one degree?
1 degree = 3,600 seconds
Where is 45 degree longitude?
where is 120 degree longitude
Does each degree of longitude correspond to 111 kilometers at the North Pole?
No. All of the meridians of longitude converge at the poles. So the north pole is located at every longitude,and the distance between any two longitudes at the north pole is zero.The largest distance covered by a degree of longitude occurs along the equator, where the meridiansare spread farthest apart. That's where one degree of longitude traverses about 111.22 km. (rounded)
What is distance per degree longitude at 10 degrees latitude?
At 10 degrees latitude, the distance per degree of longitude is approximately 111.32 kilometers. This value gradually decreases as you move towards the poles.
How wide is 1 deg longitude?
That all depends on where you are relative to the equator and either one of the poles.The lines of longitude all come together at the north and south poles ... if you see a globe with longitude lines on it, it looks like the sections of an orange.At the equator, 1 degree of longitude is roughly 69 miles. From there, it tapers down to zero at either pole.Math: At any latitude, the distance covered by one degree of longitude is(about 69 miles) multiplied by (the cosine of the latitude).
How many longitude lines are there between each meridian line?
"Lines of longitude" are conceptual, not physical; there can be as many as we want. For example, there are 3600 "seconds of longitude" between each degree of longitude. That's 60 minutes of arc per degree, and 60 seconds of arc per minute.
Does one degree of longitude equal 270 km?
The distance represented by one degree of longitude varies according to distance from the equator. That's because the meridians of longitude are equally distributed around the equator but all converge to a single point at the north and south poles. The greatest distance between any two meridians of longitude, then, is the distance between the points where they cross the equator. Along the equator, one degree of longitude covers about 111.1 kilometers.
