What state is located at 46 degrees north latitude and 69 degrees west longitude?
Since a set of latitude/longitude coordinates defines a single point on the Earth's surface ... with no length, width, or area ... it's not possible for an entire state to be right there. That point is in the Baxter State Park in the state of Maine. There are a huge number of other points, all with different latitudes and longitudes, that are also in the state of Maine.
180 degrees west and 180 degrees west are called what?
If you meant to write "180 degrees west and 180 degrees east," then they form a complete circle around the Earth, making them antipodal points. If you meant both points as 180 degrees west, they are the same location on the opposite side of the Earth.
Is 90 degrees west longitude east or west of the prime meridian?
Since the earth is a sphere (ball), you can reach any place on earth by traveling in either direction from any other place. To reach any west longitude from the Prime Meridian, heading west is the shorter way. To reach any east longitude from the Prime Meridian, heading east is the shorter way.
How high can longitude go?
All longitudes range between zero and 180°, both east and west, and they don't go any higher than that. Zero longitude is the definition of the "Prime Meridian". If two people start out from the Prime Meridian, and one goes 180° east and the other goes 180° west, they meet each other on the other side of the earth, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, at the line that's both 180° east longitude and 180° west longitude.
What are the largest latitude and longitude readings possible?
The largest latitude is +90 degrees (North Pole) and -90 degrees (South Pole). The largest longitude is +180 degrees (international date line) and -180 degrees (same meridian on the other side of the globe).
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.
0 degrees longitude is called?
0 degrees longitude is called the Prime Meridian. It is the starting point from which all other longitudes are measured, dividing the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. It is located in Greenwich, London, United Kingdom.

What is the largest angle of longitude that can be measured from the prime meridian?
The largest angle that can be measured in any direction from any point on earth is 180 degrees.Since there are 360 degrees all around, once you pass 180, it's shorter to go around the other way.
At what degree of longitude is the Prime Meridian?
The longitude of every point on the Prime Meridian is Zero.
How many degrees of longitude each side of the prime meridian?
Starting from the Prime Meridian and going either east or west, you'll cover 360 degrees of longitude before you find yourself back at the Prime Meridian again. Half-way around a sphere corresponds to 180 degrees. If you and your friend both start out from the Prime Meridian, and one of you travels east around the globe and the other travels west around the globe, you'll eventually meet each other. If you both travel exactly the same distance, then you each cover 180 degrees of longitude, and you meet exactly on the other side opposite the Prime Meridian, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, at 180 degrees longitude, both east and west.
What is the name of the imaginary vertical line that circles the earth and is found at zero degrees longitude?
the Prime Meridian or Greenwich Meridian and runs through Greenwich England ________________________________ You're probably thinking of the Prime Meridian, but the Prime Meridian doesn't circle the Earth; it only covers half of the Earth. The other half of the circle is the "anti-meridian" at longitude 180 degrees. (East or west? Both, and neither.)
How many longitude lines run around the earth?
There is an infinite number of possible longitudinal lines. But the total number of degrees is 360; 180 east and 180 west. There are 60 minutes in a degree and 60 seconds in the minute. How you sub-divide from there gives infinite possibilities. There are usually 36 lines of longitude on the globe or a map, located at 10 degrees longitude apart.
