What else can I help you with?
The two sets of lines the geographic grids consist of?
Longitude and latitude.
What are ALL of the lines on the globe called?
The imaginary lines assigned to the Earth's surface form a grid system that can locate a specific point or set of points.Latitude lines circle the Earth east and west and indicate distance north or south of the equator. 90° N is the North Pole and 90° S is the South Pole.Arctic Circle : approximately 66.5° NTropic of Cancer : approximately 23.5° NEquator : 0° latitudeTropic of Capricorn : approximately 23.5° SAntarctic Circle : approximately 66.5° SLongitude lines run north and south, from the North Pole to the South Pole, and defined the distance from the Prime Meridian (Greenwich Meridian), either east or west.Greenwich Meridian - arbitrarily assigned 0° longitudeInternational Date Line - ideally 180° east or west of GreenwichA calendar day officially begins when the time reaches noon (of the preceding day) at Greenwich, as it is then midnight at the International Date Line. Only once each day is the entire world on the same calendat day. At any other time, crossing the Date Line moving west advances the date by a day, while crossing to the east sets the calendar date back a day.
How many degrees separate the lines of latitude on a map?
A 'line' can be drawn at any latitude. Some maps and globes show a line every15 degrees, some every 10 degrees, some every 5 degrees, and some have no'lines' of latitude printed on them at all. The mapping software that I use canshow me 324,000 lines of latitude if I need them.Probably the most common hang-up (misconception) I see in this category is thenotion that the lines you see on a map or globe are the only ones there are, andeveryone has to use the same set of lines.If you see some lines on a map or globe, they're only there as a convenience, togive you a hint of what latitude is where. But there's no standard set of lines,any more than there's a standard set of marks on a ruler. You've seen enoughrulers to know that different ones have different sets of marks printed on them.And when you've seen enough different maps and globes, it'll begin to dawn thatthe marks on those aren't a standard limited set either.
How are the prime maridian and equator different?
The difference between any meridian and the equator:-The Equator is an imaginary line of latitude (it goes round the middle of the Earth in the plane in which the Earth spins) it is also a "Great Circle" in that the plane of the equator passes through the middle of the Earth.Meridians are imaginary lines of longitude (they pass through the North and South Poles of Earth and are therefore at 90 degrees to the plane in which the Earth spins). Meridians/lines of longitude are also "Great Circles".The difference between the prime meridian and the equator:-The Equator is 0 degrees latitude while the Prime Meridian is 0 degrees longitude.
Where lines of latitude and longitude intersect is called?
Oh, dude, that's an easy one. When lines of latitude and longitude intersect, it's called a coordinate or a point. So, like, when you're looking for a specific location on a map, you use those coordinates to pinpoint where you need to go. It's like playing a giant game of Battleship, but with real places.
What is similar between parallel lines and meridian lines?
Meridian lines are halves of imaginary circles joining two diametrically opposite points on a sphere. For the earth the points are the geographical North and South poles. Parallel lines (parallels of latitudes) are a set of imaginary lines that are parallel to the equator - which is the line of points that are equidistant from the poles. These two sets of lines act as a set of coordinates for the surface of the earth.
Which of these sets of numbers is not a subset of the real numbers irrational integer rational and imaginary?
Imaginary numbers are not a subset of the real numbers; imaginary means not real.
How many sets of parallel lines are in a square?
there are 2 sets of parallel lines in a square
Does a square have two sets of parallel lines?
A square has four sets of parallel lines.
Is the imaginary unit 8i irrational?
No, it is imaginary. Irrational numbers are a subset of real numbers Real numbers and imaginary numbers are sets without any overlap.
How many sets of parallel lines does a triangle?
how many sets of parallel lines are in a triangle
What type of number sets are sub sets of the complex numbers?
The set of Real NumbersThe set of Imaginary Numbers
What types of lines do a parallelogram have?
2 sets of Parallel lines
How many sets of parrell lines are in a triangle?
There are no parallel lines in a triangle !
What is the only shape that has parallel lines?
A square or rectangle has two sets of parallel lines. Stop signs technically have 4 short sets o parallel lines. Hexagon could have 3 sets, etc. All of which are polygons, though not all polygons have parallel lines.
What is the name of a quadrilateral that has 4 right angles 4 congruent sides and two sets of parallel lines?
It's a square.
How do you make a rectangle that is not a parallelogram?
You can't... A rectangle is defined by 2 sets of parallel lines, ans a parallelogram has 1+ sets of parallel lines
