The Prime Meridian- Straight line, runs through Greenwhich, England, is 0 degrees longitude, splits the world into Eastern and Western Hemispheres.

The International Date Line- Much less of a Straight Line, runs through middle of the Pacific Ocean (Kind of), is where the day "switches" from one to another, but it is complicated. It's ends connect with the prime meridian, and is approximately 180 degrees in Longitude.

Equator- Straight Line running "perpendicular" to Prime Meridian. 0 degrees Latitude. Splits the world into Northern and Southern Hemispheres.

A couple more: Arctic Circle circles the North Pole at 66° 33' 44" North and Antarctic Circle at the same but South.

What are 3 types so lines that you can use on a map?

Contour lines: These lines connect points of equal elevation on a map and help depict the shape of the land surface. Latitude and longitude lines: These lines form a grid on a map to establish the precise location of a point on Earth's surface. Borders: These lines define the boundaries between different countries, states, or regions on a map.


What does 54 degrees 40 minutes N Latitude mean?

It's a description of the location of an imaginary line all the way around the earth. It means that if you were sitting in a comfortable chair at the center of the earth looking at the equator, you'd have to rotate your eyes up through an angle of 54 degrees 40 minutes (that's 54 and 2/3 degrees) to point your eyes at this imaginary line. Then, as the earth rotated around you, you would see all the places on earth that are located at this latitude.


What Gives Exact Location On A Map?

Use a compass to take 3 bearings to known objects on the map and plot the reverse bearings from these on the map. Where the lines cross is your exact (to the scale of the map) location.Use a GPS and plot your position using the map coordinates.


What is the definition of equater?

An equation is any kind of number sentence that is set equal to something. (Ex~ 3+d*5= is an equation because it has an equals sign.)________________________________________________________Generally equation is the act or process of equating or of being equated. It is the state of being equal.In mathematics, equation is a statement asserting the equality of two expressions, usually written as a linear array of symbols that are separated into left and right sides and joined by an equal sign.In chemistry, equation is a representation of a chemical reaction, usually written as a linear array in which the symbols and quantities of the reactants are separated from those of the products by an equal sign, an arrow, or a set of opposing arrows.

How do you find the additive inverse of a complex number?

You take the additive invers of the real and of the imaginary part. For instance, the additive inverse of: (3 - 5i) is (-3 + 5i).You take the additive invers of the real and of the imaginary part.

What is an unreal in math?

The only thing I can think of that you might mean is an imaginary or complex number. Since there is no solution to √(-1) mathematicians labeled it as i which is the imaginary number, and any number that includes purely i is also imaginary. Complex numbers are a mix of both real and imaginary numbers. for example 3 is real, 5i is imaginary and 3+5i is complex. Hopefully this answers what you meant.


Does Venus have an axis?

An axis is just an imaginary line around which an object rotates so, yes, Venus does have an axis. It has a tilt of 3 degrees compared to Earth's 23.5 degrees.
