What does a thermometer anemometer hygrometer do?

A thermometer measures temperature, an anemometer measures wind speed, and a hygrometer measures humidity levels. Together, they provide information about the environmental conditions in a specific location.


What do lines of latitude on a map measure?

No, it measures degrees. Longitude can measure time, but not from the equator but from the prime meridian


What does latitude and longitude measure?

Location of a point on the surface of the earth.


The exact position of a place derived from mathematical coordinates on the Earth's grid is the?

latitude and longitude. Latitude measures how far north or south a place is from the equator, while longitude measures how far east or west a place is from the Prime Meridian. Together, they form a precise set of coordinates that pinpoint a location on Earth's surface.


What is the purpose of longitude and latitude?

Longitude measures the east-west angle between your location and the Prime Meridian.Latitude measures the north-south angle between your location and the equator.With these two numbers, you can pin the location down to any point on earth, within a few feet. They are used to report exact locations on the earth.For example:-- to report the position of a ship at sea-- to keep a record of a location, in order to return to it or to direct others to it-- to mathematically calculate the distance between two locations, given their lat/lon coordinates-- to calculate the correct pointing angles for a satellite TV dish-- to calculate the direction to head out from your location, in order to fly the shortest route to another location

Is range a measure of central location?

No, it isn't. Mean, median, and mode are the three most common measures of central location (although there are others). These measures of central location are attempts to find the middle value of a range.

What does the thermometer measure in the atmosphere?

A thermometer measures the temperature of the atmosphere, indicating how warm or cold the air is at a specific location.


Which measures of central location always have only one value for a set of grouped or ungrouped data?

Mean and median are the measures of central location that always have one value. This is true for a set of grouped or ungrouped data.

How does latitude and longitude work together to pinpoint a specific location on Earth?

Latitude and longitude are coordinates used to pinpoint a specific location on Earth. Latitude measures how far north or south a location is from the equator, while longitude measures how far east or west a location is from the Prime Meridian. By using both latitude and longitude together, you can accurately determine the exact position of a place on Earth's surface.
