What is the highest longitude lines?
The highest longitude lines are the prime meridian at 0 degrees longitude and the 180 degrees longitude line. These lines mark the starting point for longitude measurements to the east and west, respectively.
How many longitude lines are there between each meridian line?
"Lines of longitude" are conceptual, not physical; there can be as many as we want. For example, there are 3600 "seconds of longitude" between each degree of longitude. That's 60 minutes of arc per degree, and 60 seconds of arc per minute.
Why is the distance on a map showing 1 degree of longitude smaller than 1 degree of latitude yet both represent the same angle?
The lines of latitude represent degrees of arc being 111 kilometers per degree on the Earths surface. (111111.111 meters). That is how the meter was defined. Lines of longutude have this size on the equator but the lines converge at the poles where the distance between them becomes zero. So on maps, you will see that the distance of lines of latitude are always the same but those of longitude are smaller as distance increases away fro the equator.
How much is a degree of longitude equal to in miles?
One degree of longitude is approximately 69 miles (111 km) length at the equator.The distance between lines of longitude, however, gets smaller as you move towards the poles (North or South) since all the lines converge there.
How wide is 1 deg longitude?
That all depends on where you are relative to the equator and either one of the poles.The lines of longitude all come together at the north and south poles ... if you see a globe with longitude lines on it, it looks like the sections of an orange.At the equator, 1 degree of longitude is roughly 69 miles. From there, it tapers down to zero at either pole.Math: At any latitude, the distance covered by one degree of longitude is(about 69 miles) multiplied by (the cosine of the latitude).
What is the highest longitude lines?
The highest longitude lines are the prime meridian at 0 degrees longitude and the 180 degrees longitude line. These lines mark the starting point for longitude measurements to the east and west, respectively.
What is the longitude's measurement?
Longitude lines are the North/South lines that separate the earth in 15 degree sections. They are used for navigation.
What is the name for the lines of zero degree latitude and zero degree longitude?
0 longitude is the prime meridian. 0 latitude is the equator.

Which pair of lines are examples of lines of longitude Prime meridian and 120 degree E International date line and 60 degree N?
The first pair is.
Does lines of longitude cross lines of latitude at 45 degree angles?
On some projections it may look that way, but in reality, on a world map, the lines cross at perfect 90 degree angles.
What distance are lines of longitude used to know?
None. The distances between the lines of longitude are a meaningless concept. These lines measure angular distance around the world around the equator. Each degree of longitude is approx 111 km at the equator and 0 km at the poles.
What degree is Adelaide in lines of longitude and latitude?
34°52'S 138°30'E
How many degrees are the longitude lines in each hemisphere?
one degree, about 111 kilometers at the equator.
