Distance (angular) from the poles (or the equator).
One degree of latitude is equivalent to approximately 111 kilometers or 111,000 meters.
The latitude of Old Forge is 43.71N. The longitudeis -74.974W
The smallest line of latitude is the Equator, which is at 0 degrees latitude. It divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
The Equator is the longest circle of latitude
The latitude and longitude of Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland is approximately 63.63° N latitude and 19.62° W longitude.
The declination of a celestial object is the exact equivalent of latitude.
One degree of latitude is equivalent to approximately 111 kilometers or 111,000 meters.
No. The latitude of Canada ranges from 43 to 83 degrees north whereas the latitude of the eastern coast of US ranges from 25 to 47 degrees north.
Five minutes of latitude is equivalent to approximately 926 meters. This is based on the fact that one degree of latitude is about 111 kilometers, and since there are 60 minutes in a degree, each minute of latitude corresponds to about 1.85 kilometers or 1850 meters. Therefore, multiplying by 5 gives the distance.
One nautical mile is equivalent to one minute of latitude and 1.1508 statute miles.
In latitude, 1 second is equivalent to roughly 30.8 meters. In latitude, 1 second is equivalent to roughly 30.8 meters along the equator, and it shrinks steadily to zero at the poles. In general, it's 30.8 meters multiplied by the cosine of the latitude where it's being measured.
The latitude of Melbourne, Australia is approximately 37.8136° S. In the USA, this latitude is closest to the city of San Francisco, California, which is located at approximately 37.7749° N.
One nautical mile is equivalent to one minute of latitude. In terms of degrees, one nautical mile is approximately 1/60th of a degree of latitude.
At 30 degrees N latitude, you are 30 degrees north of the equator. Each degree of latitude is equivalent to about 69 miles, so at 30 degrees N latitude, you would be approximately 2,070 miles north of the equator.
[45° 15'] = 45.25°
1.1508 statute miles and one minute of latitude is equal to 1 nautical mile.
1.1508 statute miles and one minute of latitude is equal to 1 nautical mile.
