It's longitude

Longitude goes vertically from one point and down so it is always going to be the same distance...Latitude goes horizontally so it isn't the same distance.

Which lines-latitude or longitude-are always the same distance from each other no matter where they are on the planet?

Lines of latitude are always the same distance from each other, as they run parallel to the equator. Each degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles apart. Lines of longitude converge at the poles and are farthest apart at the equator.


What happens to the distance between latitude as you approach the pole?

Nothing happens. No matter how far north or south you are, 1 degreeof latitude is always the same distance ... roughly 69.1 miles.


What is the total degrees of longitude around the world?

The same as the total number of different lengths that can be measured on a3-foot ruler. If you name two longitudes, then no matter how close togetherthey are, I can always name another longitude that's in between yours. Sothere's no limit to the number of different longitudes that we can name.


How many longitude and latitude coordinate positions are there in the world?

There is an infinite amount, you can always add an extra decimal to make it more accurate and add more positions Every point on Earth can be described with a set of latitude/longitude coordinates. So the answer is: As many as there are different points on the Earth's surface. And that is basically an unlimited number ... If you stick two pins into the ground, then no matter how close together they are, I can always come along and stick another pin into the ground between them. In principle, ANY two points, no matter how close together they are, have an infinite number of points in between them.

What is the line of longitude that divides the US in in two?

Any line of longitude (or of latitude, for that matter), that crosses the United States, will divide it in two.


When is speed equal to magnitude of velocity?

Speed is equal to the magnitude of velocity almost always. Speed is total distance / total time no matter which way the distance goes. Velocity is the distance from a starting point divided by total time.


Does the mass of an object change as the distance from the center of gravity change?

No, because mass is the amount of matter contained in a body. So whatever may be the distance from the center of gravity it always remains the same.

Which longitude coordinate is the closest to the prime meridian?

The Prime Meridian itself is defined as zero longitude. (0°) You can't get any closer to it than that. The higher the number of degrees of longitude, the farther a given longitude is from the prime meridian. The maximum is 180° either east or west. There is no minimum. Whatever longitude you name, no matter how close it is to the Prime Meridian, I can always name one that's closer to it than yours is. It's like asking "What is the smallest number ?" There's no such thing.


When matter is heated does it contract?

No, when matter becomes heated it always expands, meanwhile when matter becomes cool it always contracts.


What is the maximum distance that matter is displaced from its resting position?

The maximum distance that matter can be displaced from its resting position is known as the amplitude of the displacement. It represents the peak distance that the matter moves away from its equilibrium position before returning.


Why applying force to an object does not always result in work being done?

When a force (no matter how large it may be) is applied to any object without a distance being moved,it cannot be workdone because,workdone = force x distance.


What matter always has volume and mass?

All matter


Can matter form from nothing?

Matter is always there, has always been there, and won't ever be deleted from existance. Matter can neither be created nor destroyed.
