Not all lines of longitude are shown on a globe. If you want to find 20 and degW where should you look?

To find 20 degrees West longitude on a globe, look for the line that runs vertically, crossing the equator at 20 degrees west of the Prime Meridian. This line will be positioned to the west of the Prime Meridian, which is at 0 degrees longitude. You may need to rotate the globe to see the specific line that corresponds to 20 degrees West.


Can you find the exact location of a place on a globe by using only the latitude?

Yes, the North Pole and the South Pole are both zero degrees latitude and longitude.


How do you find the latitude and longitude coordinate range for anywhere in the world?

A globe or a map.


What are the functions of latitude and longitude?

They comprise a grid that helps to find locations on a globe.


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.

Where you can find in the globe is the 60 degree Celsius?

Celsius degrees are measures of temperature. The highest recorded temperature is 57 C, so that doesn't work. You might be looking for degrees of longitude or latitude.

When finding longitude what is your first step?

Longitude refers to the invisible lines across the globe that mark off specific locations. In order to find a line of longitude, it is important to get a map or globe. Look for long lines that are spaced evenly across the globe.

Which longitude line will you find at 0 degrees?

The Prime Meridian. Opposite Prime Meridian (180-degrees Longitude) is The International Date Lin.

How do longitude lines measure your position?

Well you want to look for zero degrees longitude so you start at the 'Prime meridian' this is just a fancy name for the zero degrees of longitude. The 'Prime meridian' starts at Greenich,England. Now longitude measures from North to South so if you were to find. 30 degrees North or 30 degrees south. You would just travel below or above the equater. North is above and South for below. (The equater is zero degrees latitude..)
