How do you calculate seconds of latitude and longitude into meters?
At the equator 1° of latitude or longitude is equal to about 111 kilometers (69 miles). This remains the same for latitude (north-south) measurements, but the longitude lines get closer together as you move poleward.
How do you calculate area using longitude and latitude?
Go to itouchmap.com. Click on latitude & longitude. Feed the points. Next, click plat size. Mark the same points. Join all these points. You will find area & perimeter. (Be aware that you can get the answer that way, but you still don't know how to calculate it, and without a computer and an internet connection, you're still lost.)
Can you convert decimal degrees east to decimal degree west?
To convert decimal degrees east to decimal degrees west, you can subtract the east longitude from 360. For example, if the longitude is 80 degrees east, to convert it to degrees west, you would do: 360 - 80 = 280 degrees west.
Well hello. How are you?
At the equator, both longitude and latitude measure approximately 60 nautical miles. This converts to 69.046767 statute miles. Both latitude and longitude degree lengths change with respect to latitude; latitude however changes very minimally between the equator and the poles, the distance only changes by about 75 meters between 0 degrees (the equator) where the degree length is 110574 meters, and 90 degrees (the north pole) the degree length of latitude is 111694 meters (note: miles = meters/1609.344) Longitude however changes quite a lot from the equator to the poles, at 90 degrees the degree length of longitude is 0, where as at the equator it is 111320m. There are a number of ways of finding the degree length, for close enough approximations it is usually said that the degree length of latitude does not change, lets say it's=111132m (it's that around 45 degrees of latitude), and degree length of longitude is then computed as: L - latitude in radians Longitude = 111132*cos(L) (note: here that since its a trig function you have to convert degrees to radians, which can be done with radians = degrees*pi/180) A much more close approximations for arcdegree lengths, based on an ellipsoid earth are: (Radii based on WGS-84 ellipsoid, used by all current GPS devices) E - equatorial radius - 6378137 P - polar radius - 6356752.314 L = latitude in radians Latitude = (pi/180)*((PE)2/((E*cos(L))2+(P*sin(L))2)3/2) Longitude = (pi/180)*cos(L)*(P2/((E*cos(L))2+(P*sin(L))2)1/2)
The process by which mapmakers convert the location of map points to numbers for use in computer mapping is called?
The process by which mapmakers convert the location of map points to numbers for use in computer mapping is called digitizing.
How do you convert Longitude and latitude easily into Grid references?
To convert longitude and latitude into grid references, you first need to determine the coordinate system being used, typically the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) or a local grid system. For UTM, you can use the latitude and longitude to find the corresponding UTM zone and then calculate the easting and northing values. Alternatively, for a local grid system, you may need a specific conversion tool or software that aligns the geographic coordinates with the grid references. Online converters and mapping software can simplify this process significantly.
How can you convert Latitude and Longitude to an Address?
This website allows you to input Latitude and Longitude and to convert this to the nearest UK postcode. http://streetmap.co.uk/newdefaulte2.htm
What is distance measured in degrees east or west of the prime meridian?
The Prime Meridian is defined as zero degrees of longitude. The distance in miles between degrees of longitude depends on the latitude; one degree of longitude equals the cosine of the latitude * 60 nautical miles. Note: If you're using Excel or some other spreadsheet program, be sure to convert degrees into radians before calculating the cosine of the latitude.
How do you convert latitude and longitude from coordinates to decimals?
To convert the number of hours, directly put it into the decimal without change; To convert the number of minutes to decimals, divide by 60: Decimal value = Minutes/60; To convert the number of seconds to decimals, divide by 3600: Decimal value = Seconds/3600 Complete formula: Decimal value = Degrees+(Minutes/60)+(Seconds/3600)

If the Greenwich Hour Angle (GHA) of the sun is 173deg the Local Hour Angle (LHA) is 358deg ... What is the longitude?
To find the longitude, you can use the formula: Longitude = GHA - LHA. In this case, GHA is 173° and LHA is 358°. So, Longitude = 173° - 358° = -185°. Since longitude values range from -180° to 180°, you can convert -185° to 175° (by adding 360°), indicating that the location is at 175° E longitude.
Can you convert decimal degrees east to decimal degree west?
To convert decimal degrees east to decimal degrees west, you can subtract the east longitude from 360. For example, if the longitude is 80 degrees east, to convert it to degrees west, you would do: 360 - 80 = 280 degrees west.
How much does one change longitude at the equator by walking due east one mile assuming the earth to be a sphere of radius 3956 miles?
Circumference = 2 pi RFraction of the circumference in 1 mile = [ 1 / (2 pi R) ]Angle = (360 degrees) x fraction of the circumferenceWe know it'll be tiny, so let's right now change to seconds of longitude (3,600 seconds = 1 degree).IF we accept the stated figure for the radius of the earth, then ...Angle = (360 x 3600) / (2 pi R) = 1,296,000 / (7,912 pi) = 52.14 seconds of longitude
How do you find the intersection point of four GPS coordinates?
To find the intersection point of four GPS coordinates, first convert the latitude and longitude of each point into a suitable coordinate system, such as Cartesian coordinates. Then, you can use methods like least squares fitting or trilateration to determine the point that best represents the intersection of the four locations. This process often involves solving a system of equations to minimize the distances from the intersection point to each GPS coordinate. Finally, convert the resulting intersection point back into latitude and longitude for practical use.
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.
How do you convert degrees into miles?
1 foot = 0.3048 meter 1 international nautical mile = 1.1508 statute miles = 1.852 kilometers = .99933 U.S nautical mile (obsolete) 1° latitude = 69.047 statute miles = 60 nautical miles = 111.12 kilometers For longitude the conversion is the same as latitude except the value is multiplied by the cosine of the latitude. i got this off a website and it worked for me :]
