How does latitude afect climate?
Latitude affects climate because of the shape and tilt of the earth. for most of the year the tropical latitudes receive the most sunlight, and their for have a warmer over all climate. the further north or south you get of the equator the less sunlight the region receives depending on the time of year (in summer your hemisphere is tilted toward the sun, whilst in winter your hemisphere is tiled away from the sun). Because there is less sunlight in the extreme north and south of the planet the overall climate is colder the closer you get to the poles. it is easier to eplain in person so if this doesn't make sense try finding someone who does know and ask them to explain. there are some websites that give good visuals but it has been years since I learned that stuff.
Can you use the word equator in a sentence?
The equator is an imaginary line dividing the earth into northern and southern hemispheres. Here are some sentences.When you cross the equator for the first time, sailors have a special celebration for you.Countries that are near the equator are usually hot.Can you find the equator on this globe?
What is the geographic definition of minutes?
time
What does latitude control?
Latitude influences climate by affecting the angle and intensity of sunlight hitting the Earth's surface. It determines the length of daylight hours and the angle at which sunlight strikes, which in turn affects temperature and weather patterns. Additionally, latitude can also impact the distribution of ecosystems and the types of flora and fauna that can survive in a particular region.
Is the distance around the earth same at different latitudes?
Of course. The further away from the equator, the smaller the circle..or distance. The largest distance is always the equator...as this is the largest circumferance. from Newton.org.... "The circumference is given by 2 times pi times the radius, where pi is 3.14. The radius of the earth at the equator is about 6378 kilometers so the distance around the earth at the equator is 2 time 3.14 times 6378 which equals 40,074 kilometers. "
What do lines of latitude on a map measure?
No, it measures degrees. Longitude can measure time, but not from the equator but from the prime meridian
What are lines of latitude and what do they measure?
The lines of latitude are the North and South lines on the globe. They measure the time changes there are in areas.
What is 25 minutes to one?
A measure of time: in 25 minutes, the time will be 1 O'clock (am or pm).A measure of time: in 25 minutes, the time will be 1 O'clock (am or pm).A measure of time: in 25 minutes, the time will be 1 O'clock (am or pm).A measure of time: in 25 minutes, the time will be 1 O'clock (am or pm).
How do you convert miles to seconds?
The first thought would be that the question cannot be answered sensibly. A mile is a measure of distance, with dimensions [L]. A second is a measure of time, with dimensions [T]. The two measure different things and elementary dimensional analysis teaches that you cannot convert between measures with different dimensions such as these without additional information. However, in the world there are numerous measurements of distance. One measurement uses degrees of latitude and longitude, which divided up the surface of the Earth. A degree is divided up into minutes and seconds, 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in a degree. A degree of latitude is constant everywhere on the globe, being approximately 69 miles, and a minute of latitude is approximately 1.15 miles. That means that a second of latitude is approximately 0.02 miles, or just over 100 feet. A degree of longitude however varies in size approximately 69 miles at the equator. Because a degree of longitude varies as it moves away from the equator the minutes and seconds of longitude will decrease in size towards the poles.
When it is noon at prime meridian on the equator what is the time at 55 degrees north latitude on this same meridian?
noon
How far from zenith is the celestial equator when it crosses the celestial?
The angle between the celestial equator and your personal zenith is equal to the latitude of your location. (Whether it's north or south latitude doesn't matter, and neither does your longitude or the time of day or night where you are.)
What is the time difference between one degree of latitude?
4 minutes
What is latitude closely related to the greenwich climate time or the poles?
Latitude is closely related to the poles, as latitude lines are imaginary lines that measure the distance north or south of the Equator. The poles are located at latitudes 90 degrees north (North Pole) and 90 degrees south (South Pole). Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is a time system used as a reference point for time zones, which is related to the Prime Meridian but not directly to latitude.
Where can we find the equator and the prime meridian?
they are
Which factor is most important in determening climate?
Determining climate is based on a lot of things, but the most important is latitude. As you increase in latitude, the colder the climate typically gets. For example, the equator (lowest latitude) is hot, while the upper regions of Earth are colder.
How is temperature and latitude related?
In this case, we'll have to talk about the equator.Temperature gets warmer the closer you go to equator. The equator is at 0 degrees latitude. We're not talking about degrees in temperature, we are talking about GPS degrees.Most of the time, the smaller the # of the latitude, the warmer it may get. Since the equator always gets sunlight all year round, the closer you get to it, the warmer it'll get.In the Northern Hemisphere, you have to go south to get to the equator.In the Southern Hemisphere, you have to go north the get to the equator.
Can be measured in second or minutes?
Time or a small angle.A:Positions on a chart - in Latitude and Longitude - degrees, minutes and seconds -hehe
