Latitude is the distance east or west from a given point on earth as measured pole to pole it is noted by meridians?

No. The question confuses elements of multiple definitions.-- Latitude is a measurement north or south, not east or west.-- Latitude and longitude "distances" are measured from reference lines, not points.-- "Pole to pole" is a north-south measurement, not east-west.-- Longitude, not latitude, is noted in meridians.We'll try to unravel the confusion with the following twostatements:-- Latitude is the angle north or south, as measured from the earth's equator.It is noted by "parallels", drawn parallel to the equator.-- Longitude is the angle east or west from an agreed zero-line. It is noted by the meridians,lines drawn pole-to-pole. The zero-line, called the "Prime Meridian", is the one that passesthrough Greenwich, a suburb of London.


Is the distance north and south of the equator it is noted by?

The distance north and south of the equator is measured in degrees of latitude. The equator is designated as 0° latitude, with measurements increasing to 90° north and 90° south.


What is the distance between franz Joseph land and the north pole?

Franz Josef Land is an archipelago located in the Arctic Ocean, and its northernmost point is approximately 900 kilometers (about 560 miles) from the North Pole. The exact distance can vary slightly depending on which specific island or point within Franz Josef Land is measured. This remote region is one of the northernmost territories of Russia and is noted for its harsh polar climate and unique wildlife.


How long would it take to get to mercury by jumbo jet?

Assuming the speed of the jumbo jet was 550 mph and that Earth and Mercury were at their smallest distance (the distance changes with the orbit) of about 48 million miles we can conclude:Time = Distance / SpeedTime = (48,000,000 mi) / (550 mi / hr)Time =~ 87,300 hours =~ 3640 days =~ 10.0 yearsIt should be noted: that an assumption was made that this was even possible (no atmosphere, escape velocity of the earth, etc.)In reality the answer here is, it wouldn't be able to make it.


Is mercury or the moon closer to earth's size?

Mercury is larger than the moon and so is closer in size to Earth than the moon is. It should be noted that Mercury is closer in size to the moon than it is to Earth.

What is radio echo method?

Radio echo method is used for measuring the distance of heavenly bodies. Radio signals are sent towards a planet. These signals are reflected back from the surface of the planet. The time (t) taken for the signal in going to the planet and coming back to earth is noted. The signal travels through a velocity (c).The distance (s) of the planet from Earth is given by,s = ct/2


How is the speed of a javelin measured?

Assuming the speed is at its greatest at the moment it leaves the throwers hand, 2 (3 dimensional) ordinates a short distance apart are noted and the time taken between them noted also, then speed = distance / time.
