How do you measure distance east and west of the prime meridian?
The longitude line measures the angle east or west of the prime meridian. If you want the actual distance you'd travel directly east or west until you hit the prime meridian, you must multiply this angle (converted to radians) by the radius of the earth, and then multiply by the cosine of the latitude angle, which gives the angle north or south of the equator.
How are latitude and longitude related?
Latitude gives the angle, and therefore the distance from, the equator, which is a north to south distance. Longitude gives the angle, and therefore the distance, from the arbitrary Prime Meridian, thus defining locations by their distances east to west. Latitude lines, such as the equator, run horizontally on maps. Longitude lins, such as the International Date line, run vertically.
How many odometer gives you 1kilometre?
An odometer isn't a unit of distance, it's an instrument used to measure distance.
What is the name of the famous site where the prime meridian passes thus beginning the time zones?
Greenwich in southeast London gives its name to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
Method to measure the distance to nearby stars directly?
For nearby stars, the parallax method gives the most accurate measure of distances.For nearby stars, the parallax method gives the most accurate measure of distances.For nearby stars, the parallax method gives the most accurate measure of distances.For nearby stars, the parallax method gives the most accurate measure of distances.
How do you measure force and distance?
Force can be measured using a dynamometer or force sensor, which typically measures in units of Newtons. Distance can be measured using tools such as rulers, tape measures, or laser distance meters, with units typically in meters or centimeters. Multiplying force by distance gives work, a measure of energy transfer.
How do you tell if an ukulele is soprano concert tenor or baritone size?
The way to tell the difference is to measure the distance between the nut and the bridge. The video below gives you the specifics and how to measure.
Why are longitude and longitude are on the map?
For the same reason there are numbers on the front doors of houses. The system of latitude and longitude angles gives every point on Earth an 'address' of two numbers. They tell exactly where the spot is, and make it possible to find that exact spot, even if there's nothing there, and nothing but water for a thousand miles around it in every direction.
What does mass x distance equal?
Multiplying mass by distance gives you the concept of torque. Torque is a measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate around an axis. It is often represented mathematically as torque = mass x distance.
Which way do meridians run and what do they measure?
Lines of latitude run laterally across the earth from east to west. They measure the degrees of arc north and south of the equator which is at 0 degrees. Washington, DC, lies about 38 degrees North.
How long does it take to get to from Sydney to Paris by boat?
Assuming that the distance may be around half terrestrial meridian; the boat's speed around 20 knots (miles/hour), then simple arithmetic gives us 26 days.
Differences between parallels and meridians?
-- Parallels are associated with latitudes. Meridians are associated with longitudes. -- Parallels are parallel, and no tweo parallels intersect. All meridians intersect all other meridians, at two places. -- Every point on a parallel has the same latitude. Every point on a meridian has the same longitude. -- Every parallel in the same hemisphere has a different length. Every meridian on Earth has the same length. -- Every parallel is a full circle. Every meridian is a semi-circle. -- Every parallel crosses all longitudes. Every meridian crosses all latitudes. -- The distance between two parallels is the same at every longitude. The distance between two meridians depends on the latitude where it's measured. -- To cross all parallels, you only have to travel 12,000 miles. To cross all meridians, you have to travel 24,000 miles.
