You will have traveled 20 degrees to reach +70 degrees latitude, and so you would have to travel another 160 degrees to reach the south pole.

What were the approximate latitude and longitude boundaries of the US before the lousisana purchase?

Latitude, 28(degrees) 56 N to 33(degrees) 01 N.Longitude, 88(degrees) 49 W to 94(degrees) 03 WAfter the Louisiana Purchase :- Latitude 28° 56′ N to 33° 01′ N- Longitude 88° 49′ W to 94° 03′ WSource(s):Both are same since it never shifted


Has Tampa ever hit 100 degrees?

Yes, Tampa has reached 100 degrees Fahrenheit before. The record high temperature for Tampa is 99 degrees Fahrenheit, recorded on June 5, 1985.


Why is the equator marked zero degrees?

It was zero degrees before people got together and gave it a name. Maybe wherethey got the name for it was when they realized that every point on the line is thesame distance from both the north and the south poles, so it's the line that equatesall of those distances.


How do you convert degrees to meters?

it is possible!!Degrees, Minutes and Seconds to Distance A degree of longitude at the equator is 111.2 kilometers. A minute is 1853 meters. A second is 30.9 meters. For other latitudes multiply by cos(lat). Distances for degrees, minutes and seconds in latitude are very similar and differ very slightly with latitude. (Before satellites, observing those differences was a principal method for determining the exact shape of the earth.)for more details, fallow this link i found!http://www.uwgb.edu/dutchs/UsefulData/UTMFormulas.htm#Spreadsheet


What is the degree of the equator?

The equator is at '0' degrees latitude. The degrees of latitude extend north and south of this . Did you know that when you cross the equator on a ship, there is a traditional 'Crossing the line' ceremony carried out by sailors of many countries. If you have never crossed before ,you are dunked in a tank (or sometimes even the ocean) , and then introduced to "King Neptune" -Ruler of the Deep. (Usually the Bosun or another senior crew member in suitable disguise. ) -On many shipping lines they actually even give you a certificate ! -I have 'crossed' 18 times and still find it amusing.

What is distance measured in degrees east or west of the prime meridian?

The Prime Meridian is defined as zero degrees of longitude. The distance in miles between degrees of longitude depends on the latitude; one degree of longitude equals the cosine of the latitude * 60 nautical miles. Note: If you're using Excel or some other spreadsheet program, be sure to convert degrees into radians before calculating the cosine of the latitude.

Can you go outside in Seattle at any time during the year and have the sun be directly over your head?

Absolutely not! No! The highest latitudes that the sun can ever appear directly over your head are 23.5 degrees north and 23.5 degrees south (namely the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn). Seattle is located at around 47.5 degrees latitude, so the sun will never be higher than 66 degrees above the southern horizon (at this altitude the sun still looks quite high in the sky, but Seattle is way too far north for the sun to appear directly overhead). If you want to see the sun directly overhead, travel to Honolulu (Hawaii) or Havana (Cuba), which are within the 23.5 degree limit but are fairly close to the United States. The sun should be directly overhead some time before and after the June solstice.

What is the latitude and longitude at source of the Huang He river?

According to China Exploration and Research Society (www.cers.org.hk), the Huang He source is 34 29 31.1N, 96 20 24.6E (2008). This is different from the source originally identified in the mid 1980s, before the availability of high resolution satellite images. The Wiki page on Yellow River geography has been edited to include this longitude and latitude.
