What else can I help you with?
How would you describe the Prime Meridian?
The Prime Meridian is the line of longitude marked at 0 degrees, from which all other lines of longitude are measured. It passes through Greenwich, England and serves as the reference point for determining time zones across the world.
What is the prime maridian?
The Prime Meridian is the meridian (line of longitude) at which the longitude is defined to be 0°.The Prime Meridian and its opposite the 180th meridian (at 180° longitude), which the International Date Line generally follows, form a great circle that divides the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
What is the total degrees of longitude around the world?
The same as the total number of different lengths that can be measured on a3-foot ruler. If you name two longitudes, then no matter how close togetherthey are, I can always name another longitude that's in between yours. Sothere's no limit to the number of different longitudes that we can name.
What marks 0 longitude?
The Prime Meridian, also known as 0 degrees longitude, marks the starting point for measuring longitude around the world. It runs through Greenwich, London, and is used as the reference point from which all other longitudes are measured.
Where is longitude and latitude at on a worlds map?
Clever. That's a lot like asking "Where in my body am I ?" Since the system of latitude and longitude is a system invented for the purpose of describing locations on the surface of the earth, and is uniquely and exhaustively appropriate to that purpose, the complete answer consists of two parts: 1). The world is located at every imaginable and every possible latitude and longitude. 2). Every latitude and longitude is a location somewhere in the world.

What city is exactly 0 degrees longitude?
Greenwich, England is located exactly at 0 degrees longitude, and it is considered the starting point for measuring longitude around the world.

What city is 54 degrees north latitude and 25 degrees east longitude in Europe?

Which place is used as standard all over world?
0.00 Degrees latitude, 0.00 degrees longitude.
Where do you find the lines of longitude on the globe?
Look at a globe, or map of the world, or any large scale map (Not a road map or street plan) and there are horizontal lines (marked in degrees) & these are Latitude. The vertical lines are Longitude & they show the degrees that anywhere in the world is either East or West of Greenwich (The Prime Meridain) which is in London, England. The reason that Longitude is measured from Greenwich is because that was the HQ of the Admiralty (The British Royal Navy) when Longitude measurement was first established. Latitude had been known for centuries because itn depends entirely where the sun is in relation to the horizon in any given place. Longitude was different to measure: you need to know direction, speed & time difference & a correlation of these 3 things will tell you where you are in relation to another place. 180 degrees East & West of Greenwich is where the International Date Line runs from Pole to Pole through the Pacific Ocean
How many degrees of longitude do you need to travel across to pass through one hour of time?
The Earth rotates at the rate of roughly 15 degrees of longitude per hour.
What is the latitude and longitude of International date line?
The degrees are 180 degrees north and all degrees west, it goes across the whole world.
