What else can I help you with?
If scientists knew the latitude of a location on Earth and surface but not the longitude what could they determine about the location?
How far north or south of the equator the location lies.
What is the location on earth relative to equator?
The location of a place on Earth is described by its latitude and longitude coordinates. Latitude measures how far north or south a location is from the Equator, which is 0 degrees latitude. The Equator is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere.
How can you tell how far a place is from the equator?
The distance from the equator is the angle of latitude. The distance from equator can be measured as magnitude of the latitude.The equator is at zero degrees latitude and a location north of the equator has a positive latitude value from 0 to +90, whereas a location south of the equator has a negative latitude. For example, a one-degree distance from the equator represents a length of ~111 km (or 60 nautical miles).
What term is used to for the measure of the distance from the equator?
The term used to measure the distance from the equator is "latitude." Latitude is expressed in degrees, ranging from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles. It indicates how far north or south a location is from the equator.
What do lines of latitude on a map measure?
No, it measures degrees. Longitude can measure time, but not from the equator but from the prime meridian
What effects temperatures of places on Earth?
relative location to equator

How cold is the atlanic ocean?
Temperatures in the ocean vary on the location, depending on how far or close it is to the equator.
What lines run north and south but are measured by how far a specific location is from the equator?
lines of longitude

What is latitude equivalent to?
Distance (angular) from the poles (or the equator).
What do lines of latitude on a map measure?
No, it measures degrees. Longitude can measure time, but not from the equator but from the prime meridian
Is Rome hot because of the equator?
Rome is not located near the equator. It is not particularly hot due to its distance from the equator. Rome's climate is influenced more by its Mediterranean location, resulting in hot summers and mild winters.
What location has the greatest latitude north of the equator?
The North Pole is at 90° north latitude, which is as far north as you can go.
How far is France from the equator?
The distance of the Mediterranean region from the Equator is approximately 3350 kilometers. This is equal to about 2082 miles.
