Longitude and latitude are angles involved in the description of locations on the
surface of the Earth, and now in the age of space exploration, on the surface of
other bodies where a coordinate system has been defined. Wherever you're talking
about, though, these quantities refer to the surfaces of spheres, and not to the
space between them.
What else can I help you with?
At what lines of latitude and longitude will you find the space needle?
Longitude: 0° 0' 0"Latitude: 47° 37' 13"
What is used to measure longitude and latitude?
by degree, each degree is broken up into 60 minutes and each minute is broken up into 60 seconds (remember minutes and seconds are used as measures of distance, rather than time when you are talking about longitude and latitude. To know your longitude at sea before the arrival of GPS equipment (which gets an instant reading from geostationary space stations) you had to calculate it from knowing your speed and how long you had been sailing.
How are right ascension an declination similar to latitude an longitude?
Right Ascension in space is equivalent to Longitude on Earth but it is measured in hours minutes and seconds rather than degrees, minutes and seconds. 1 hour of RA is equivalent to 15° of longitude. Declination in Space is equivalent to Latitude on Earth. Both are measure in degrees, minutes and seconds. Declination is measured from the Celestial Equator, + being north and - being south, just like Latitude.
Can longitude and latitude lines measure altitude?
No, longitude and latitude lines measure a location's position on the Earth's surface in terms of its east-west and north-south coordinates. Altitude, on the other hand, refers to the distance above sea level or a specific reference point. Altitude is measured using instruments such as altimeters or GPS devices.
What is Taurus the bull's longitude and latitude?
Taurus is not a physical entity with specific longitude and latitude coordinates. In astrology, Taurus is one of the twelve zodiac signs representing those born between April 20 and May 20. It is a symbol in celestial navigation rather than an actual location in space.

At what lines of latitude and longitude will you find the space needle?
Longitude: 0° 0' 0"Latitude: 47° 37' 13"
What lines of latitude and longitude will you find the space needle?
On both of my best mapping resources, the Space Needle, in Seattle WA, is marked at 47.62039° north latitude 122.34927° west longitude.
A names an exact location in space?
Coordinates, latitude and longitude, or address.
What is used to measure longitude and latitude?

What is the relative location from Greensboro NC to the space needle in Seattle Washington?
48 latitude 122 longitude
Is there a place with no longitude or latitude?
Yes, an infinite number of them. Longitude and latitude only apply to points on the surface of the earth, or on the surface of the few other bodies in the solar system to which local coordinate systems have been assigned. The surface of any other body, or the space between solid bodies, are enormous regions without latitude or longitude.
What is the latitude and longitude of the constellation Hercules?
The constellation Hercules is not a single point in space and does not have a specific latitude and longitude. Constellations are patterns of stars as seen from Earth and their positions are relative to our view.
The location of an object in space is called?
The location of an object in space is called its position. This can be described using coordinates such as latitude, longitude, and altitude in relation to a reference point.
How are right ascension an declination similar to latitude an longitude?
Right Ascension in space is equivalent to Longitude on Earth but it is measured in hours minutes and seconds rather than degrees, minutes and seconds. 1 hour of RA is equivalent to 15° of longitude. Declination in Space is equivalent to Latitude on Earth. Both are measure in degrees, minutes and seconds. Declination is measured from the Celestial Equator, + being north and - being south, just like Latitude.
What is the latitude and longitude of the constellation perseus?
The constellation Perseus does not have a fixed latitude and longitude as it is a celestial object located in space. Its position is measured in right ascension and declination coordinates. Perseus is located in the northern celestial hemisphere and can be seen from latitudes between +90° and -35°.
What are coordinate?
Coordinates are numeral values within a plane or three-dimensional space that identify a point within that system. In geometry, Cartesian coordinates indicate values within a grid system of perpendicular axes. In geography, coordinates give latitude (North and South) and longitude (East and West). They show an exact place on the map and are traditionally expressed in degrees, minutes, and seconds (the angle from an arbitrary reference plane).
