The meridian of 90° east longitude crosses 1,765 miles of territory in Russia,

146 miles in Mongolia, 1,350 miles in China, 108 miles in Bhutan, 100 miles in

India, and 230 miles in Bangla Desh.

There are bound to be a few.

Distance east and west from the prime meridian?

The distance east or west from the Prime Meridian is measured in degrees, with 360 degrees in a full circle representing the Earth's circumference. The Prime Meridian itself is set at 0 degrees longitude, so any location east of it will have a positive longitude value, while any location west of it will have a negative longitude value.


Is 90 degrees west longitude east or west of the prime meridian?

Since the earth is a sphere (ball), you can reach any place on earth by traveling in either direction from any other place. To reach any west longitude from the Prime Meridian, heading west is the shorter way. To reach any east longitude from the Prime Meridian, heading east is the shorter way.


Is 180 degrees east is the longest longitude?

All meridians of longitude have the same nominal length. However, at any given longitude, the meridian of 180° East longitude is the one farthest from the Prime Meridian. Perhaps that's what you had in mind.


What is the error for 55 degrees east latitude and 32 degrees south longitude?

The error for 55 degrees east latitude and 32 degrees south longitude depends on the specific context or measurement being considered. If referencing a specific location or coordinate system, a calculation using that information would be needed to determine the error accurately.


What hemisphere is 170 degrees east in?

170 degrees east is located in the Eastern Hemisphere. This longitude is just west of the International Date Line, which is at 180 degrees. Therefore, any location east of this line, including 170 degrees east, is classified as being in the Eastern Hemisphere.

How far do line of longitude run east and west?

Every "line" of constant longitude joins the north and south poles, so the lines "run" north and south. Longitude numbers range from zero to 180 degrees east and from zero 180 degrees west. So all together, there are 360 degrees of longitude, which is exactly what you need if you want to use longitude to measure any place all around the Earth.
