Which lines of latitude and longitude divide the earth into hemisphere?

The equator (0° latitude) divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. The Prime Meridian (0° longitude) divides the Earth into the Eastern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere.


Two hemispheres of latitude and two hemispheres of longitude divide the earth into how many parts?

The Earth is divided into four parts based on the intersections of the equator (latitude) and the prime meridian (longitude). These parts are the Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, Eastern Hemisphere, and Western Hemisphere.


What is the location on earth relative to equator?

The location of a place on Earth is described by its latitude and longitude coordinates. Latitude measures how far north or south a location is from the Equator, which is 0 degrees latitude. The Equator is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere.


What line of longitude sepersates the earth into the northern and southern hemisphere?

the equator is a line of latitude that separates the earth into north and south hemispheres


What is the line of o latitude called?

The 0 degree line of Latitude is called the Equator.


What is the for two equal part of the earth?

The Equator (zero latitude) is an imaginary line that horizontally encircles the earth and divides the Northern Hemisphere from the Southern Hemisphere. The Prime Meridian (zero longitude) divides the Eastern Hemisphere from the Western Hemisphere.


How does a line of latitude describe position?

A line of latitude represents the angle from the equator to either pole from 0 to 90 degrees in the Northern hemisphere and 0 to -90 degrees in the Southern hemisphere. The angle can be converted to a distance from the equator where latitude is zero. A one-degree distance in latitude is roughly 111 km or 60 nautical miles.Combined with a longitude, the intersection of a line of latitude with a line of longitude is a point on the earth. With a grid of latitude and longitude lines, every point of on the surface of the earth can be precisely represented.


Is the names of the four hemispheres of earth?

The four hemispheres of Earth are the Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, Eastern Hemisphere, and Western Hemisphere. These hemispheres are divided based on the lines of latitude and longitude that run across the Earth's surface.


How are latitude and longitude used to find an exact global address?

The lines of latitude and longitude can be thought of as a grid of horizontal and verticals over the surface of the earth. The x-axis is the longitude and the y-axis is the latitude. The center is located at (0,0) -- that's latitude 0 and longitude 0. Latitude values with positive values are found in the northern hemisphere and negative values in the southern hemisphere. Longitude values with positive values are found in the eastern hemisphere and negative values in the western hemisphere.Any point on that imaginary grid can be located using a longitude value on the x-axis and latitude on the y-axis. Increasing digits on latitude and longitude values map onto an ever smaller area. Six (6) decimal places of precision is enough to map down to a point with 10 cm accuracy.


Who invented the longitude and latitude grid?

alberuni invented the longitude and latitude of earth.


Is California longitude or latitude?

Every point on Earth has both a longitude and a latitude. And if someone gives you a longitude and a latitude, you can use them to find exactly one point on Earth.


What is the 4 hemispheres the earth is divided into?

The Earth is divided into four hemispheres: Northern Hemisphere, Southern Hemisphere, Eastern Hemisphere, and Western Hemisphere. These divisions are based on lines of latitude and longitude that intersect at the Earth's poles.
