What is the starting point for measuring latitude?
The starting point would be the equator. Lines of latitude run parallel to the equator.
Which line on maps and globes is the starting place for meauring latitude?
The Equator is the starting point for measuring latitude on maps and globes. It is located at 0 degrees latitude and divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
What is the starting lines for measuring latitude and longitude?
The starting line for measuring latitude is the Equator (0 degrees latitude), while the starting line for measuring longitude is the Prime Meridian (0 degrees longitude), which runs through Greenwich, England.
What and the Prime meridian meet at 0 degrees latitude and longitude?
The equator and the Prime meridian meet at zero degrees latitude and longitude.
What does the lines latitude run from?
Lines of latitude run east-west and measure the distance north or south of the equator. The equator is the starting point for measuring latitude, with 0 degrees at the equator and increasing to a maximum of 90 degrees at the poles.
What is the starting point for measuring latitude?
The starting point would be the equator. Lines of latitude run parallel to the equator.
What line is the starting point for latitude?
A latitude is measured in degrees from the equator to the north (or south) pole. I assume that you mean, "What is the line that forms the zero degrees latitude?" The answer is the Equator.
Which line on maps and globes is the starting place for meauring latitude?
The Equator is the starting point for measuring latitude on maps and globes. It is located at 0 degrees latitude and divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
What is the starting lines for measuring latitude and longitude?
The starting line for measuring latitude is the Equator (0 degrees latitude), while the starting line for measuring longitude is the Prime Meridian (0 degrees longitude), which runs through Greenwich, England.
The starting point for measuring latitude is?
the equator
What and the Prime meridian meet at 0 degrees latitude and longitude?
The equator and the Prime meridian meet at zero degrees latitude and longitude.
What does the lines latitude run from?
Lines of latitude run east-west and measure the distance north or south of the equator. The equator is the starting point for measuring latitude, with 0 degrees at the equator and increasing to a maximum of 90 degrees at the poles.
At what latitude does the equator lie?
The equator is an imaginary line equidistant from the poles, and is the starting point or 0° in latitude.
What is a famous latitude line?
a latitude line is a line going from east to west. Just like the equator. the equator is a latitude line measuring at ) degrees latitude.
What is the terminal point for measuring latitude?
The starting point for measuring latitude is the equator... zero degrees. There are two terminal points of latitude: 90 degrees north (the true north pole, not the magnetic north pole), and; 90 degrees south (the true south pole, not the magnetic south pole). When measuring latitude the reference point is always the equator, and the numbers are given as (for example) North 40 degrees, 16 minutes, 13 seconds... or in the real world of sailboats & ships: "North 40 decimal 16 decimal 13".
Is the equator the starting line for measuring longitude?
No. The equator is the main line of Latitude, and how we measure how far North or South we are. The equator is at zero degrees latitude... The North Pole is 90 degrees North; the South Pole is 90 degrees South. Logitude is a measurement about how far we are East or West from Greenwich, England.
What is a a line of latitude called?
A line of latitude is called a parallel. It represents the distance north or south of the equator and runs east-west around the Earth. The equator is the line of latitude that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
