What distance is spanned by 1 grade of longitude at the equator?
1° of longitude along the equator measures 110.5 km.
What line is used to measure how far from the equator a place is?
The lines of latitude run parallel to the equator and tell you how far north or south you are from it. The units of measurement, however, are in angular degrees. New York City, for example, lies at 40.77 degrees North latitude, which is sometimes expressed as 40 degrees, 46 minutes, 12 seconds North latitude.
What latitude line was the Louisiana territory divided by?
The Louisiana territory as acquired in the Louisiana Purchase included land that spanned from Louisana in the south to Montana and North Dakota in the north. It also included a small portion of land from two Canadian provinces: Alberta and Saskatchewan. The territory north of the 49th parallel was ceded to the British in 1818.
What was the approximate length of babylonia from Mari in the north to larsa on the south?
Babylonia, an ancient region in Mesopotamia, spanned approximately 600 kilometers (about 370 miles) from Mari in the north to Larsa in the south. This expanse covered a significant portion of the fertile land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, contributing to the region's historical importance as a center of culture and trade. The distance facilitated interactions among various city-states, enriching their economies and cultures.
What time period is the fossil turritella found in?
The fossil turritella, a type of marine snail, has been found in rocks that date back to the Paleogene period. This period spanned from approximately 66 to 23 million years ago.
What was hurricane Ivan latitude and longitude?
Longitude spanned from Africa to the gulf Coast. Its latitude was notable because it was quite far south for a strong hurricane, with a center as far as 10.2 north.
What distance in metres on the ground is the equivalent of one second of arc in longitude or latitude?
One minute of arc as measured at the centre of the Earth covers one nautical mile on the surface of the Earth at mean sea level. One nautical mile is 6080 feet or 1853.2 metres. Therefore one second of arc would be 6080 / 60 = 101.3 feet or 30.886 metres. Lines of latitude are at regular intervals parallel to the equator. The relationship between degrees of latitude and the distance spanned on the earths surface remains constant. Therefore at all latitudes 1 minute of latitude spans 1 nautical mile on the earths surface. Lines of longitude converge at the poles. Therefore the relationship between degrees of longitude and the distance spanned on the earths surface is reduced as the poles are approached. At the equator the distance spanned by 1 minute of longitude would be 1 nautical mile. At the poles it would be zero. To calculate the actual distance on the surface of the earth between two points of known latitude and longitude requires a knowledge of spherical trigonometry to calculate the great circle distance between the two points. The distances quoted are for the surface of the earth at mean sea level. Distances will be increased above sea level and reduced below it.

Is it true that the international date line is at approximately 180 degrees longitude?
Yes. In principle, the IDL should be the meridian of 180° longitude, but it was defined with some zigs and zags in it, in order to avoid splitting any single island or country into two different calendar dates. If the IDL had stuck to the 180° meridian all the way, then one political entity that would have spanned two different dates is the state of Alaska.
