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.

Smallest unit of latitude and longitude?

The smallest unit of latitude and longitude is one minute, which is further divided into seconds. One minute of latitude is approximately equal to one nautical mile. One minute of longitude varies in distance based on the latitude but is also approximately one nautical mile at the equator.


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.)

What is the exact location of tokyo in terms of latitude and longitude?

-- The point between the two tall towers of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building is 35.6896° north latitude 139.6917° east longitude. -- The center of the field at the National Olympic Stadium is located at 35.6780° north latitude 139.7149° east longitude. -- The north end of Runway-17 at the Chofu commuter airport 3.1 km west of the center of Tokyo is located at 35.6756° north latitude 139.5264° easy longitude, -- and the south end of the same runway, only 930 meters away, is located at 35.6676° north latitude 139.5294° east longitude. It should be evident that it's virtually impossible to state the "exact" latitude and longitude of any place comprised of more than one dimensionless point.


How many meters in 1 second of longitude?

The distance of one second of longitude varies depending on the latitude due to the curvature of the Earth. At the equator, one second of longitude is approximately 30.87 meters, but this distance decreases as you move toward the poles. At higher latitudes, the distance can be significantly less, approaching zero at the poles where all lines of longitude converge.

How do you calculate seconds when given meters per second?

You can't convert between seconds, and meters/second. If you have a problem that involves speeds, use the formula: distance = speed x time.


What is the velocity of a car that travels -50 meters per second in 5 seconds then 10 meters in 5 seconds?

To find the average velocity of the car over the entire 10 seconds, we calculate the total displacement and divide it by the total time. The car travels -50 meters in the first 5 seconds and 10 meters in the next 5 seconds, resulting in a total displacement of -50 + 10 = -40 meters. The total time is 10 seconds. Therefore, the average velocity is -40 meters / 10 seconds = -4 meters per second.
