What woild be the line of longitude for a place that is west of the prime meridian and halfway between the prime meridian and the 80 line of longitude?
The line of longitude for a place that is halfway between the prime meridian and the 80th line of longitude and west of the prime meridian would be -40 degrees longitude. The prime meridian is at 0 degrees, and halfway between 0 and 80 is 40 degrees. Since the location is west of the prime meridian, the longitude would be measured as negative.
Is 120 degrees west longitude parallel to the prime meridian?
Meridians are not parallel. They join at the poles. Parallels of latitude is a common phrase. Meridians of longitude look parallel on the the map, but they're not on the globe.
The parallel that divides earth into hemispheres is the?
The Prime Meridian, it is located at 0 degrees latitude.
What is the line of latitude for a place tha is halfway between the equator and the northpole?
45 N latitude.The 45th Parallel is the midway point between the Equator and the North Pole... but the true halfway point is actually 16.2 kilometers (10.1 miles) north of the 45th parallel because the Earth is oblate.
What is the name of the parallel that is located at 0 degrees longitude?
All parallels, or latitudes, cross 0 degrees longitude. 0 degrees longitude is the prime meridian. 0 degrees latitude, or parallel, is the equator
Is San Francisco on the 40th parallel?
San Francisco is between the 38th parallel and the 37th parallel. It is also located on about the 122nd meridian west.
What is the difference in longitude from the prime meridian to 35 degrees east?
35 degrees
Name the parallel located at 0 degrees?
There are 2: The Equator & the Prime (Greenwich) Meridian.
Is the Tropic of Cancer is a meridian?
No. It's a parallel of latitude, roughly 23.5 degrees north of the equator.
Between which two parallel and which two meridian is the tip of Africa located?
It is located between 30 degrees east and 15 degrees east latitude/parallel and 30 degrees south and 45 degrees south longitude/meridians. You can use a map with medians and parallels on it to answer the question. There are pictures of those maps in Google maps if you want to know how to do it.
Is the tropic of cancer a meridian of longitude?
No. It's a parallel of latitude, roughly 23.5 degrees north of the equator.
What woild be the line of longitude for a place that is west of the prime meridian and halfway between the prime meridian and the 80 line of longitude?
The line of longitude for a place that is halfway between the prime meridian and the 80th line of longitude and west of the prime meridian would be -40 degrees longitude. The prime meridian is at 0 degrees, and halfway between 0 and 80 is 40 degrees. Since the location is west of the prime meridian, the longitude would be measured as negative.
What is the difference between lines of longitude and lines of latitude?
Firstly, different maps or atlases draw lines of latitude and longitude in varying degrees apart. Although most maps have differences of 10 degrees apart, atlases can be as close as 1 or 2 degrees. Secondly, you might be referring to the major lines of latitude and longitude, such as the Equator and the Prime Meridian. Some maps that are very small only show the major lines of latitude and longitude. The difference between the equator and the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn is 23.5 degrees, while the difference between the equator and the Arctic and Antarctic Circles is 66.5 degrees. The difference between the Prime Meridian and the International Date Line is 180 degrees.

Is the equatator a parallel or a meridian?
The equator is the parallel of zero latitude.
What is properties of parallel and meridian?
Parallels Parallels are circles that are parallel to the equator. They are measured in degrees north or south of the equator, with 0° latitude being the equator itself. The distance between two adjacent parallels decreases as you move towards the poles. The equator is the longest parallel, while the poles are the shortest. Parallels are used to determine latitude, which is the measure of how far north or south a location is from the equator. Meridians Meridians are semi-circles that run from the North Pole to the South Pole. They are measured in degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian, which is the meridian that passes through Greenwich, England. The distance between two adjacent meridians is the same everywhere on Earth. The Prime Meridian is the longest meridian, while the 180° meridian is the shortest. Meridians are used to determine longitude, which is the measure of how far east or west a location is from the Prime Meridian.
What is the natural border of Kansas and Nebraska?
The 40th Parallel, the 6th Principal Meridian, is the borderline for the states of Kansas and Nebraska.
