The 180 degrees longitude is the International Date Line, which runs from the North Pole to the South Pole and serves as the transition line for calendar days. When crossing the line from west to east, you would either move one day forward; when crossing from east to west, you would move one day back.

How many degrees of longitude separate Las Vegas from the International Date line which is at 180 and ordm longitude?

Las Vegas is located at approximately 115 degrees west longitude. To find the degrees of longitude that separate it from the International Date Line at 180 degrees, you subtract 115 from 180, resulting in a difference of 65 degrees. Therefore, there are 65 degrees of longitude between Las Vegas and the International Date Line.


How do longitude lines measure your position?

Well you want to look for zero degrees longitude so you start at the 'Prime meridian' this is just a fancy name for the zero degrees of longitude. The 'Prime meridian' starts at Greenich,England. Now longitude measures from North to South so if you were to find. 30 degrees North or 30 degrees south. You would just travel below or above the equater. North is above and South for below. (The equater is zero degrees latitude..)

What the biggest numbers you can find for a line of longitude?

If two travellers 'A' and 'B' started from the Prime Meridian (zero longitude). 'A' travelled to the West, and ''B travelled to the East, they will meet on the other side of the World at 180 degrees longitude. Therefore, the biggest number is 180 degrees longitude. The International Date Line roughly follows the 180 degrees longitude north-south line on the Earth.

Not all lines of longitude are shown on a globe. If you want to find 20 and degW where should you look?

To find 20 degrees West longitude on a globe, look for the line that runs vertically, crossing the equator at 20 degrees west of the Prime Meridian. This line will be positioned to the west of the Prime Meridian, which is at 0 degrees longitude. You may need to rotate the globe to see the specific line that corresponds to 20 degrees West.
