There are 360 degrees of longitude on the Earth ... 180 east and 180 west.
Any projection that seems to show a different range of longitudes is an inaccurate ...
or at best, only a partial ... representation of the Earth.
Zero to 180 east and zero to 180 west
These invisible lines that circle the earth and are vertical or running north to south are longitude or meridian lines. These lines are also perpendicular to lines called latitudes that are parallel to the equator.
The dotted lines along longitude and latitude are called meridians. This is there so that the map is easier to read.
Well i believe the answer your looking for is the axis. or it can be parallels of latitude or parallels of longitude or maybe meridians latitude maybe meridians of longitude you pick lol did i say tht
The labeling of latitude and longitude lines as S and E on a map of Australia is a common convention to indicate the direction in which the lines are measured. The S stands for southward measurement along the lines of latitude, while the E stands for eastward measurement along the lines of longitude. This convention is used to maintain consistency in map orientation and navigation.
Zero to 180 east and zero to 180 west
Zero to 180 east and zero to 180 west
Zero to 180
Ya totally man!!
Longitude
Sets of numbers that show where lines of latitude and longitude meet are called coordinates. Coordinates are used to specify exact locations on the Earth's surface.
Latitude lines are imaginary lines that are parallel to the equator to fix a position on earth (along with longitude lines which are imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator)
because they merge at the poles... they seem to be parallel near the equtor region..n remenber parallel lines nver meet each other... n due to the shape of our earth these lines merge at poles...
Every point on Earth has a latitude and a longitude. No two points have the same set of two numbers.
The numbers of contour lines indicate altitude or elevation along that line.
These invisible lines that circle the earth and are vertical or running north to south are longitude or meridian lines. These lines are also perpendicular to lines called latitudes that are parallel to the equator.
The equator and all lines of longitude are called great circles because the represent the circumference of the earth. The other latitude lines along the globe are smaller then the actually circumference.
