What is at latitude 54 longitude -2?
Latitude 54 and longitude -2 places you in the United Kingdom, specifically in the northern part of England. This location would be situated near the cities of Newcastle upon Tyne and Edinburgh.
What is the distance between two longitude lines?
Ignoring curvature of the earth, and assuming a mean Earth radius of 3960 miles, then the distance between lines of longitude that are 1 degree apart = 3960 * 2 * pi /360 * cosine (of latitude) in miles. At the equator it is about 69 miles, at the poles it is zero.
How do latitude and longitude help identify your exact location on the Earth?
Latitude measures distance north or south of the equator and longitude measures west and east of the prime meridian the grid system formed by lines of latitude and longitude makes it possible to find the absolute location of a place. Because that certian point where the lines meet is where you are. And you use degrees to label the spot like EX. 40 degrees 44' north and 73 degrees 59' west.Its a big grid. Like a co-ordinate plane you can find the point (5, 2) the same way you look at a map. GPS can also help find long./lat. Its almost like mapquest or google maps. It just tells you where it is.A person can determine their position on the Earth's surface to as great a degree of accuracy as they wish using latitude and longitude. . I am at 35° 40' 34.56" and longitude 175° 15 mins 20.09secs.You can use decimals of a second to get greater accuracy.
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 are 2 lines in a plane that do not meet?
2 Lines in the same plane that do not meet are parallel. If 2 lines are in different planes and do not meet, then they are called skew lines.
What is the 2 or more straight lines meet is called?
When 2 or more straight lines meet...the point where they meet is called the point of intersection
Name 2 places on the globe were longitude meet?
ok easy its called the north of south poles(def/how: all those latitudes and longitudes of the globe[the lines that go up and down]are all straight but since the earth is round on a globe youl see then to curve and meet at once single point but theres two areas were they meet the north pole and south pole
What 2 lines meet at a point?
nonparallel lines
What lines are 2 lines that meet at a right angle?
perpendicular
A point where 2 lines meet?
An intersection.
What are the lines of latitude and longitude for Memphis Tennessee?
Latitude: N 35° 8' 58.3235" Longitude: W 90° 2' 56.3284"
What two special lines of latitude cross North America?
What 2 lines of latitude cross north American
What are 2 lines called when they meet?
1 line i guess
Give 3 classification of technology?
"right angle" is two lines that intersect at 90 degrees "acute angle" is when 2 lines meet at less than 90 degrees "obtuse angle" is when lines meet at an angle more than 90 degrees , a straight angle is when 2 lines meet at exactly 180 degrees.
What are vertexes in math and an example?
It is the Intersection of 2 or more lines. Such as in the letter V, the vertex is the point at the bottom when the 2 lines meet.
What are the ways three lines are related?
It depends on the lines! They can meet at 0, 1, 2 or 3 points.
