On the surface of the Earth, miles used to be the traditional measure, but now displaced by the SI system with kilometres. An exception is in aviation, where horizontal distances are still measured in miles, and altitude measured in thousands of feet. This is to avoid confusing numbers between these two dimensions. There will still be many ships which measure speed in knots, and distance in nautical miles.
What else can I help you with?
The distance around the earth at the equator is like what measurement ofa circle?
This comparable to the perimeter of a circle.
Would you measure distance around a school in meter or kilometer?
You would typically measure the distance around a school in meters, as this is a more precise unit of measurement for shorter distances. Kilometers are better suited for measuring longer distances.
Is the Arctic Circle or the South Pole closer to the Equator?
what is the distance north and south of the equator: Latitude.
How do you find the distance you are from the equator at 10 degrees latitude?
Let's work it out, each degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles apart. Equatiorial latitude is 90 degrees, 90 - 10 = 80 therefore at 10 degrees lat. you will be approximately 5520 miles from the equator.
What other countries are the same distance to the equator as Brisbane?
Brisbane is a city, not a country. One cannot make a comparison based on the the question as posed. What other cities are the same distance to the equator as Brisbane would elicit a much more detailed answer. For example: Miami, Florida is approximately the same distance north of the equator as Brisbane, Australia is south of the equator.
What unit would be best to measure the distance around the equator a inches b feet c yards d miles?
D;Miles
The distance around the earth at the equator is like what measurement ofa circle?
This comparable to the perimeter of a circle.
What tool would you use to measure the distance around a pumpkin?
A cloth tape measure.
What is Distance around the earth in miles?
The distance around the Earth is roughly 24,901 miles (40,075 kilometers). This measurement is called Earth's equatorial circumference and represents the distance you would travel if you followed the equator all the way around the planet.
What will you use to measure the distance around your head?
A tape measure would probably be the best choice.
What units would you use to measure the distance around a town?
miles
What unit of measurement would be best for measuring the distance from North Pole to the equator?
The unit of measurement that would be best for measuring the distance from the North Pole to the equator is kilometers (km) or nautical miles (nmi). These units are commonly used to measure long distances and are suitable for measuring the Earth's surface.
What unit would measure the distance around something in yards?
i like wabbits with lemoons
What are the units you would use to measure the distance around your town?
If it's a big town, then miles.
Would you measure distance around a school in meter or kilometer?
You would typically measure the distance around a school in meters, as this is a more precise unit of measurement for shorter distances. Kilometers are better suited for measuring longer distances.
The distance around the widest part of a planet?
The distance around the widest part of a planet is known as the planet's equatorial circumference. It is the longest distance that can be measured around the planet, passing through its equator. An example would be Earth's equatorial circumference, which is about 24,901 miles (40,075 kilometers).
Is the Arctic Circle or the South Pole closer to the Equator?
what is the distance north and south of the equator: Latitude.
