No. It's about 69 miles along the equator, and tapers uniformly toward the poles,

where all of the meridians of longitude converge in a single point.

The length of a degree of longitude is the same at any latitude true or false?

False.


How many feet are in one degree of latitude at 43 degrees longitude?

At 43 degrees latitude, one degree of latitude corresponds to approximately 364,570 feet. The length of a degree of latitude varies slightly depending on the specific location on Earth due to its non-perfectly spherical shape.


Why is the distance on a map showing 1 degree of longitude smaller than 1 degree of latitude yet both represent the same angle?

The lines of latitude represent degrees of arc being 111 kilometers per degree on the Earths surface. (111111.111 meters). That is how the meter was defined. Lines of longutude have this size on the equator but the lines converge at the poles where the distance between them becomes zero. So on maps, you will see that the distance of lines of latitude are always the same but those of longitude are smaller as distance increases away fro the equator.


Which lines-latitude or longitude-are always the same distance from each other no matter where they are on the planet?

Lines of latitude are always the same distance from each other, as they run parallel to the equator. Each degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles apart. Lines of longitude converge at the poles and are farthest apart at the equator.


What is the latitude and longitude for 46 degree north latitude from the prime meridian if you move to 21 degree south 35 degree west 20 degree south 45 degree west and 20 degree north?

The latitude and longitude for 46 degrees North latitude from the Prime Meridian are approximately 46 degrees North latitude, 0 degrees longitude. Moving to 21 degrees South, 35 degrees West would take you to approximately 21 degrees South latitude, 35 degrees West longitude. Continuing to 20 degrees South, 45 degrees West would position you at approximately 20 degrees South latitude, 45 degrees West longitude. Finally, moving to 20 degrees North would bring you around 20 degrees North latitude, along the same longitude as the previous location (45 degrees West).

Your ISP knows its own latitude and longitude. Your latitude and longitude is assumed to be the same as your ISP.


How many meter in a toposheet make one degree?

That would depend if you are looking at degrees of latitude or degrees of longitude. One degree of longitude represents less distance nearer the poles than it does at the equator. One degree of latitude represents the same distance anywhere on earth.

Lines of latitude are always the same distance from each other, as they run parallel to the equator. Each degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles apart. Lines of longitude converge at the poles and are farthest apart at the equator.


What are the longest latitude and longest longitude?

The longest parallel of latitude is the one defined as 'zero degrees', known as the "Equator". All meridians of longitude have the same length ... 1/2 of the earth's polar circumference.


What is the latitude and longitude for 46 degree north latitude from the prime meridian if you move to 21 degree south 35 degree west 20 degree south 45 degree west and 20 degree north?

The latitude and longitude for 46 degrees North latitude from the Prime Meridian are approximately 46 degrees North latitude, 0 degrees longitude. Moving to 21 degrees South, 35 degrees West would take you to approximately 21 degrees South latitude, 35 degrees West longitude.
