In order to travel through all possible latitudes, you'd have to travel all the way

between the Earth's poles. That's half-way around the globe, or 180 degrees.

How many parallels can br drawn on a globe at an interval of 10 degrees?

A globe can have parallels drawn at 10-degree intervals ranging from 0 degrees at the Equator to 90 degrees at the poles. Since there are 180 degrees of latitude (90 degrees north and 90 degrees south), this results in a total of 19 parallels in each hemisphere, plus the Equator, making 39 parallels in total.


How many degrees of arc of latitude on a globe?

That's exactly the same as asking "How many different lengths are there on a piece of rope ?" There's no limit to the possible number of different latitudes. If you name two different latitudes, then no matter how close together they are, I can always name a new one that's in between yours.


How many parallels and meridians can be drawn on an globe at an interval of 10 degrees?

On a globe, there are 18 parallels (lines of latitude) that can be drawn at 10-degree intervals from the equator at 0° up to the poles at 90° north and 90° south. For meridians (lines of longitude), there are 36 that can be drawn at 10-degree intervals, ranging from 0° to 360°. Thus, in total, there are 54 lines (18 parallels and 36 meridians) on the globe at 10-degree intervals.


Is it true that there are 181 latitudes?

There are an infinite number of different latitudes, just as there are an infinite number of differentlengths, weights, distances, speeds, and periods of time.If you only count the latitudes given by whole numbers, then you have all of the north latitudesfrom 1 to 90 degrees (90 of them), plus all the south latitudes from 1 to 90 degrees (90 more),plus zero latitude (the equator), for a total of 181 different whole-number latitudes.


How many parallel can be drawn on globe at interval of 15 degree on globe?

Going from 0 to 90 both north and south, 0, 15,30,45,60,75,90 would be 13 total. You can only count 0 once.

What is the total interior angle of aregular polygon if t equals 20 triangles can be drawn inside the polygon?

The total angles will be 3600 degrees, because each triangle will have 180 degrees total.

How many latitudes and longitudes are there on a map?

It would depend on the specific map. On a globe, there are an unlimited number of specific latitudes between 0 and 90 degrees north (equator to North Pole) and 0 and 90 degrees south (equator to South Pole). Longitudes range from 0 to 180 east and 0 to 180 west from the Prime Meridian, with 180 east and 180 west being the same line (on which the International Date Line is based). The total circumference of the planet is 360 degrees, and it would appear as a circle viewed from above either of the poles. Each degree of longitude is about 111.32 kilometers wide at the equator. Degrees can be divided further into minutes and seconds, or to any accuracy of decimal degrees.


How many degrees of latitude between north and south pole?

Latitudes range from zero at the equator to 90° N at the north pole, and from zero at the equator to 90° S at the south pole. That's a total of 180° from one pole to the other ... exactly as you'd expect for a trip half-way around the globe.


How many latitudes are there in total?

there are 181 latitudes.90 latitudes above equator+90 latitudes below the equator +equator.90+90+1=181


How many latitude are on a globe?

That's like asking: "How many lengths are on a ruler?" Latitudes span a range of 90° south to 90° north, for a total range of 180°. There are an infinite number of possibilities between those limits.


What is total number of degrees of longitude east or west of the prime meridian?

Whether you travel 180 degrees East of the Prime Meridian or 180 degrees Westof it, you arrive at the same place either way . . . half-way around the globe.


How many 1 degree latitude lines can fit on a globe?

The angle between the north pole and the south pole ... the total range of latitude ... is 180 degrees.
