Looking at a sphere, the Earth, from the side, i.e. - the equator, eliminating each 'pole' position, which would appear as 'points', as opposed to 'lines', lines drawn at one degree intervals from top (North) to bottom (South), would number 178; given that there are 180 degrees from North to South.

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.


Why does horizontal scale of a mercator projection increase with latitude?

The vertical (or latitude) scale increases with latitude, keeping the hoizontal (longitude) constant. This is in order to make the lines of longitude parallel on the chart, instead of, in reality, converging toward the poles. This allows courses to be plotted and drawn on the chart, as straight lines crossing the lines of longitude at the same angle. Known as 'plane sailing'. ie. it is on a plane (flat surface) not a globe.


What line of latitude passes through Louisiana?

Any/All of them between roughly 29.91°N to 30.17°N do. Any number of 'lines'may be drawn through New Orleans, at any latitude within that range. There isno standard set of 'lines' that everyone must refer to.


When should Gentamycin peak and trough level be drawn?

Trough levels are typically drawn 30 minutes before the infusion of gent and peak level drawn 30 minutes after the infusion is complete. Usually this is done with the 3rd or 4th dose of gent.

What is drawn on the 180degrees longitude line?

The 180 degrees longitude line, also known as the International Date Line, is a navigational line used to mark the change of one calendar day to the next. It is not physically drawn on maps or globes, but rather serves as a demarcation for time differences between different regions of the world.

How many parallels and meridians can be drawn on an globe at an interval of 10 degrees?

On a globe, there are 18 parallels (lines of latitude) that can be drawn at 10-degree intervals from the equator at 0° up to the poles at 90° north and 90° south. For meridians (lines of longitude), there are 36 that can be drawn at 10-degree intervals, ranging from 0° to 360°. Thus, in total, there are 54 lines (18 parallels and 36 meridians) on the globe at 10-degree intervals.


How do you determine the number of segments that can be drawn connecting each pair of points?

If there are n points then the maximum number of lines possible is n*(n-1)/2 and that maximum is attained of no three points are collinear.

What is the maximum current that can be drawn from a voltage source?

The maximum current that can be drawn from a voltage source is dependent on the impedance of that source, the impedance of the connections to the source, and the energy available from that source.
