Why do longitude lines converge while latitude lines do not?
Longitude lines show the number of degrees east and west of the Prime Meridian. They are farthest apart at the equator and converge to a single dot at the north and south poles. Latitude lines show distance north and south from the equator. Because they are parallel to the equator, they never converge. Latitude at 90o north and south can be shown only as a dot, not a line.
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 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.
What is the space between two lines of latitude called?
There is no standard set of "lines". They may be printed at different intervals on different maps and globes. We have no way of knowing what the interval is on the map or globe that you're looking at, and it may be different on the next one you see.
Are longitude and latitude measures used in space travel?
Longitude and latitude are angles involved in the description of locations on thesurface of the Earth, and now in the age of space exploration, on the surface ofother bodies where a coordinate system has been defined. Wherever you're talkingabout, though, these quantities refer to the surfaces of spheres, and not to thespace between them.
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.
What is the relative location from Greensboro NC to the space needle in Seattle Washington?
48 latitude 122 longitude
What is the latitude and longitude for space coast?

A names an exact location in space?
Coordinates, latitude and longitude, or address.

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.
