Start at the Equator and move northwards. 50 N is a latitude parallel to the equator at 50 degrees North .
To find it on a map . 50 N is the latitude of the English Channel, It is also the line of latitude 1 degree north of the 49th paralle, and parallel to the 49th parallel, The 49th parallel is the straight line international boundary between Canada and the USA. So on the North American continent, it is in Canada. approximately 70 miles north of the 49 th parallel.
What else can I help you with?
The globe does not show all lines of latitude. If you wish to find 50 and degN where should you look?
To find 50 degrees North latitude on a globe, you should look for the line that is positioned halfway between the Equator (0 degrees) and the North Pole (90 degrees). This line will be parallel to the Equator and will circle the globe horizontally. You can also use the latitude markings along the globe's surface to help locate this specific degree.
How do you use latitude and longitude coordinates to find an absolute location on a map?
First, look on the map to find the line of latitude that the coordinates reference. If the exact line of latitude isn't shown on the map, estimate it by looking at the lines that are available. Then look on the map to find the longitude line that the coordinates reference. Once you have found the two lines, follow them both towards the point where they intersect. That is the location the coordinates reference.
Do you look at the lines of latitude or the lines of longitude first when you are finding the coordinates?
It does not matter whether you look at the lines of latitude or longitude first. Usually coordinates are written latitude, then longitude. Good luck!
What is another name for latitude lines that circle the earth from east to west but measure from north to south?
Parallels! As you look at a globe map the lines of latitude are paralell if the globe is oriented with north totally vertical and you are far enough away. (no 23.5 degree slant). Since the Earth is nearly spherical your paralell view of the lines of latitude would only appear so from above the equator. Lines of latitude are the origin of the term nautical mile and knot.

Not all lines of longitude are shown on a globe if you want to find 20 W where should you look?
The meridian 20° west of The Greenwich Observatory, London, England. It is a line of longitude that runs from the north pole to the south pole. So you would look along the 20° west line of longitude. You also need a line of latitude. Minutes and seconds is then used to find a precise spot on the earth.

What are the lines on the globe that look like a checkerboard called?
the lines on the globe are called longitude and latitude lines the longitude lines go up and down while the latitude lines go left to right
Lines of latitude and longitude of Ecuador?
Look at a map in any atlas.
What is the refernce line for latitude?
The lines of longitude run up north and south and down from the poles. Lines of latitude run parallel North and South to the equator. I remember the difference between latitude and longitude because the lines of latitude look like the rungs of a ladder (geddit) as they go around the globe. JCF
How do you find longitude and latitude without Google Maps?
You have to look at the globe or map and see that it is divided into Northern Hemisphere and the Southern, then East and west. Look at the lines and what are you going to measure ask your self if it is east to west or north to south. find the lines of latitude that measures it and remember to do latitude then longitude first if it is not matching up exactly just make something accurate line say if the line is 30 and it's in 35 write 35 :) Hope that helped
How do lines of latitude and longitude help people find locations on Earth?
If you knew your latitude was 57 and your longitude was 47, then you could look on a map of the earth and see which line is latitude 57. You could then follow latitude line 57 until you see hit longitude line 47. This would give you the precise location of your whereabouts.
Does lines of longitude cross lines of latitude at 45 degree angles?
On some projections it may look that way, but in reality, on a world map, the lines cross at perfect 90 degree angles.

Difference between latitude and lines of latitude?
A point on the earth's surface that's 19 degrees north of the equator has a latitude of 19 degrees north. There are an infinite number of points that are all 19 degrees north of the equator. If you mark a little tiny dot on the globe at a few thousand different points that are all 19 degrees north of the equator, they'll start to look like a solid line on the globe. That line is called the "19th parallel" of north latitude.
How many lines of latitude are in Namibia?
Namibia ranges in latitude from about 16.96° to 28.95° South. That's a range of almost exactly 12 degrees. You're welcome to draw as many parallels or 'lines' of latitude as you're comfortable with, in that range. There is no standard set of official 'lines' that everybody must use. If you look on five different maps or globes, you may very well see a different set of lines printed on each one.
