Is latitude from east to west?

Lines of latitude run from east to west and measure the degrees north or south of the equator.


What does latitude measure on the equator?

Latitude is the angular distance north or south of the equator. Longitude is the angular distance east or west of the equator.


What is the east west lines on a map that show distance from the equator?

The lines on a map that show distance from the equator in an east-west direction are called latitude lines. They are also known as parallels and run parallel to the equator. The equator itself is located at 0 degrees latitude.


What directions does lines of latitude show?

Lines of latitude show the east-west position of a point on Earth relative to the equator. They run parallel to the equator and indicate the angular distance north or south of the equator in degrees, with 0 degrees being the equator and a maximum of 90 degrees at the poles.


What direction do latitude line run?

Latitude lines run east-west around the Earth. They measure the distance north or south of the equator in degrees, with the equator itself being 0 degrees latitude.


What is the approximate distance of the dead sea from Jerusalem?

The dead sea is placed at 32 degrees 30 minutes North, 35 degrees 30 minutes East. That makes the closest point on the equator be 0 degrees North, 35 degrees 30 minutes East. Therefore its distance from the equator is 32 degrees and 30 minutes, which are 3614 kilometers. Please see the related links for the data and calculator I have used to find this out.


What does the lines latitude run from?

Lines of latitude run east-west and measure the distance north or south of the equator. The equator is the starting point for measuring latitude, with 0 degrees at the equator and increasing to a maximum of 90 degrees at the poles.

WHAt is the distance bitween 91 dgree longitude east and 92 longitude east?

That depends on your latitude. Longitudes all taper closer together, likethe ribs of a tangerine, as you move from the equator to the poles, andall longitudes meet in a single point at each pole.One degree of longitude represents a distance of about 111.1 km (69 miles)on the equator, and zero at either pole.At any latitude, the distance between two consecutive degrees of longitude is (69 miles) times (cosine of the latitude).


Is latitude the vertical line or horizontal?

Lines of latitude run east-west as circles parallel (or horizontal lines) to the equator. Latitude measures the angle in degrees north or south from the equator where the equator is located at 0 degrees.


How many degrees of latitude are there between 45 degrees east and 40 degreeseast?

There are 180 degrees of latitude between 45 and 40 degrees east longitude. However, if you meant how many degrees of longitude are there, there are 5 degrees of longitude between 45 and 40 degrees east longitude.
