Is the equator located at 0 longitude 0 latitude 180 longitude?
The equator is located at 0 degrees latitude and does not have a fixed longitude. It circles the Earth halfway between the North and South poles.
What is the number of 1 degree latitude and longitude lines that can be drawn on a globe?
90 degrees north latitude and 90 degrees south latitude are the maximum values; they represent the exact locations of the pole. Zero degrees is the equator. 180 degrees longitude is the exact limit of longitude; it represents the originally defined location of the International Date Line, exactly opposite the Prime Meridian. Oh. On second reading (and some editing of the question) I finally grasped the question. Latitude: the equator is one. Then there is one to eighty nine in the north, and again in the south. 90 degrees north and south are points, not lines. That makes 179 lines of latitude. Then you have the Prime Meridian (one); and 179 degrees east, and again west. That's 359. Then there is 180 degrees which makes 360 lines of longitude. 179 plus 360 equals 539 lines total.
How many degrees in the globe?
A globe typically shows the Earth's surface in a spherical form, so it consists of 360 degrees of longitude and 180 degrees of latitude, totaling 64,800 square degrees.
What are the right and left lines on a globe?
The right line on a globe is the Prime Meridian, located at 0° longitude, and the left line is the International Date Line, roughly at 180° longitude. The Prime Meridian represents the starting point for measuring longitude, while the International Date Line marks where the date changes as you travel east or west across it.
What are the two coordinate systems on locating places?
Rectangular : two distances (preferably at right angles) and polar : a distance and a direction. There are two systems currently in use. One is referred to as Geographic Information System (GIS), which is a very complex system which you might envision as cutting say a 2 inch square section out of a basket ball or soccer ball, then flattening this piece out. A flattened out portion of the Earth is then flattened and represented on a map. You can imagine how the edges of the ball get distorted as they want to stay curved (actually spherical). The second coordinate system is the more commonly used Latitude and Longitude. The numbers you see represented when using your GPS (Global Position System).
Is the equator located at 0 longitude 0 latitude or 180 longitude?
The equator is located at 0 latitude. Fullstop. Being a parallel it spans the whole range in longitude, from 0 to 180 and back again.
Is the equator located at 0 longitude 0latitude or 180 longitude?
The equator is defined as the zero reference line of latitude.
Is the equator located at 180 degree longitude?
The equator is mapped out to be positioned as the 0º line of latitude.
Is the equator located at 0 longitude 0 latitude 180 longitude?
The equator is located at 0 degrees latitude and does not have a fixed longitude. It circles the Earth halfway between the North and South poles.
What is 180 latitude?
The maximum degree of latitude is 90 degrees north and south, so 180 degrees latitude does not exist. If you meant 180 degrees longitude, then the answer would be that the International Date Line, a major line of longitude, is located there.
How is longitude and latitude measured?
Latitude is measured as the angle between the point and the equator, ranging from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles. Longitude is measured as the angle between the point and the prime meridian, ranging from 0° to 180° east or west. These measurements help pinpoint a specific location on Earth's surface.
Is the equator located at 0 degrees longitude 0 degrees latitude or 180 degrees longitude?
No. Believe the accepted is Zero(0). Hence the North Pole is at +90, and the South Pole is at -90. Or 90N and 90S. Latitude Lines are accepted to be measured in Degrees/minutes. Therefore if a radius "line" at the Equator is "lifted" 1.0 degree in a Northerly direction, the point of the line at the circumference at 1.0 degree North. If one were to draw a line from that point around the entire perfect sphere(which the Earth is not), then a line of Latitude could be referenced as 1.0 Degree North Latitude.
What lines of latitude and longitude dived the earth into hemisphere?
The Equator and the Prime Meridian (and by extension, its counterpart at 180 degrees.)
How many degrees of longitude are between north and south pole?
The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles. There are 180 degrees of latitude between the North and South Poles, and 90 degrees of latitude between each pole and the Equator.
Where does longitude and latitude cross?
"Crossing the Line" is associated with crossing the equator at 0 degrees latitude, not longitude. If you cross the equator (0 degrees latitude) at 0 or 180 degrees longitude, there is an additional status included.
What is located at 5 degrees south latitude and 250 degrees east longitude?
The maximum degree of longitude is only 180.
Why do all cities in the US have a north latitude and a west longitude?
Not all cities in the US have a north latitude and west longitude. The latitude and longitude of a location are specific coordinates that pinpoint a place on the Earth's surface. Cities can have different combinations of latitude and longitude depending on their location relative to the equator and prime meridian.
