First of all, for no particular reason, we're going to assume that you're talking about
the one in Massachusetts, and not the Boston in Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut,
Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Tennessee, Texas, or Virginia.
Boston is a big place, and every point has a different set of coordinates.
In Boston MA, the center of the intersection of Tremont, Beacon, and School St
is located at
42.35814° north latitude
71.06074° west longitude.
Now, knowing from personal experience that every place in Boston MA has
at least two names and every name has at least two places, we'll do something
special for you today that we don't ordinarily do: We'll give you the coordinates
of another place in Boston, to double the chances that you'll know where one
of them is.
The center of that big intersection near Brigham and Women's where Calumet St,
Tremont St, Francis St, and Route-9 all converge, is located at
42.33410° north latitude
71.10497° west longitude.
You can determine if your location is east or west longitude by looking at the numerical value of your longitude coordinates. If the value is positive (+) then you are in the eastern hemisphere, indicating east longitude. If the value is negative (-) then you are in the western hemisphere, indicating west longitude.
The degree of longitude equivalent to east of 5 degrees west longitude is 355 degrees. This is because there are 360 degrees in a full circle, so moving 5 degrees east from 5 degrees west would place you at 355 degrees longitude.
West
To convert decimal degrees east to decimal degrees west, you can subtract the east longitude from 360. For example, if the longitude is 80 degrees east, to convert it to degrees west, you would do: 360 - 80 = 280 degrees west.
Kyrgyzstan extends in longitude from about 69.27° east to about 80.29° east.So it's entirely west of the 90° east meridian.
Boston is further east than Miami. Boston is located at a longitude of around 71.0589° W, while Miami is located at a longitude of around 80.1918° W. Therefore, Boston is further east because the longitude of a location is measured in degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian, which runs through Greenwich, England.
Boston is located at approximately 71° West, and Nairobi, Kenya, is located at approximately 37° East, which is a difference of 108° longitude.
East
The eastern state boundary of Idaho is at 111.05° west longitude. That's 11° west of 100° west longitude, and 149° east of 100° east longitude. The state's western boundary is 5.96° west of there.
You can determine if your location is east or west longitude by looking at the numerical value of your longitude coordinates. If the value is positive (+) then you are in the eastern hemisphere, indicating east longitude. If the value is negative (-) then you are in the western hemisphere, indicating west longitude.
Lines of longitude run north-south and measure east-west.
The degree of longitude equivalent to east of 5 degrees west longitude is 355 degrees. This is because there are 360 degrees in a full circle, so moving 5 degrees east from 5 degrees west would place you at 355 degrees longitude.
You can measure east and west using longitude
West
To convert decimal degrees east to decimal degrees west, you can subtract the east longitude from 360. For example, if the longitude is 80 degrees east, to convert it to degrees west, you would do: 360 - 80 = 280 degrees west.
Kyrgyzstan extends in longitude from about 69.27° east to about 80.29° east.So it's entirely west of the 90° east meridian.
Malaysia is located east of 105 degrees longitude.
