All of the meridians of longitude converge (come together)at the same point,
at the north and south poles. So the distance between them depends on
how far you are from the equator.
On the equator:
180° of longitude is 1/2 the circumference of the earth, roughly 12,450 miles.
At the poles:
Any range of longitude is zero distance.
In between the equator and the poles, the number of miles straight east-west
between any two longitudes will be:
(number of degrees between them) x (cosine of the latitude) x (691/6)
What else can I help you with?
East longitude ranges from blank degrees to blank degrees?
East longitude ranges from 0 degrees to 180 degrees.
What a the biggest numbers in longitude?
The largest possible values for longitude range from -180 degrees to +180 degrees. This means that the biggest numbers in longitude are 180 degrees east and 180 degrees west, which actually represent the same line on the opposite sides of the Earth. Longitude measures the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian, which is at 0 degrees.
How many degrees of longitude are between north and south pole?
The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles. There are 180 degrees of latitude between the North and South Poles, and 90 degrees of latitude between each pole and the Equator.
What is the maximum value for longitude?
180
What are the divisions of longitude?
The divisions of longitude are measured in degrees. The Earth is divided into 360 degrees of longitude, with the Prime Meridian (0 degrees longitude) serving as the starting point. Longitudes range from 0 degrees to 180 degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian, with 180 degrees being the International Date Line.
How many degress of longitude is the earth divided?
360 degrees. Longitude runs from 180 degrees East to -180 degrees West.
How many degrees is the maximum for longitude?
180
What is the Diff of longitude if from 0 degrees to 180 degrees?
The difference between those two positions is 180 degrees in longitude.
East longitude ranges from blank degrees to blank degrees?
East longitude ranges from 0 degrees to 180 degrees.
How many degrees of longitude separate Las Vegas from the International Date line which is at 180 and ordm longitude?
Las Vegas is located at approximately 115 degrees west longitude. To find the degrees of longitude that separate it from the International Date Line at 180 degrees, you subtract 115 from 180, resulting in a difference of 65 degrees. Therefore, there are 65 degrees of longitude between Las Vegas and the International Date Line.
How many degrees of longitude are there to the east and west prime meridian?
180 degrees in each direction.
What a the biggest numbers in longitude?
The largest possible values for longitude range from -180 degrees to +180 degrees. This means that the biggest numbers in longitude are 180 degrees east and 180 degrees west, which actually represent the same line on the opposite sides of the Earth. Longitude measures the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian, which is at 0 degrees.
How many degrees of longitude are there between the prime meridian and the section of the International Date Line that lies directly on a line of longitude?
180 degrees
How many degrees of longitude are there between the prime meridian and the selection of the international date line that lies directly on a line of longitude?
180 degrees
What is the largest number of degrees of longitude?
+180 degrees.
What is max degrees east longitude?
180 degrees
What country does the 30 degrees north latitude cross 70 degrees east longitude?
That point is in Pakistan, about 180 miles east of Quetta.
