How many longitudes are there?

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.


Do the longitudes intersect each other?

If they did, then you'd have two different longitudes at the same point, which isgenerally a no-no.The only places where that happens is at the north and south poles, where all longitudesconverge (meet, come together).


How two coastal cities have the same latitude and elevation but are located near different oceans?

Easy, if their longitudes are different. Examples: -- San Francisco and Virginia Beach VA have about the same latitude. -- HongKong and Havana, Cuba have about the same latitude. -- San Diego, Charleston SC, and Casablanca, Morocco have about the same latitude.


Why length of longitudes the same?

The length of longitudes is considered to be the same because all longitudes meet at the poles and form complete circles around the Earth. Each longitude line represents an imaginary half-circle that extends from one pole to the other, dividing the Earth horizontally into equal sections. This design ensures that each longitude line is the same length when measured on a globe or map.


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.

Why could two places in different hemisphere have the same time?

Two places in different hemispheres can have the same time if they are both in the same time zone. Time zones are defined by a range of longitudes, so places within that range will have the same time despite being in different hemispheres.

Which two cities in western hemisphere have the same longitude?

For ANY city in the western hemisphere that you can name,there are one or more others at the same longitude.For example,Lima, PeruBuenaventura, ColombiaSpanishtown, JamaicaLas Tunas, CubaNew Bern, North CarolinaWaverly, VirginiaWashington, DCWestminster, MarylandWilliamsport, PennsylvaniaGeneva, New YorkNapanee, OntarioBeattyville, Quebecare all in the western hemisphere, and ALL have the same longitude.This list alone gives you 66 possible answers to the question. and itonly uses one longitude. Technically, there are an infinite number ofother longitudes in the western hemisphere, but even if you only wantto examine longitudes that are 1/2 degree apart, that still gives you359 different longitudes to look at in the hemisphere.


Can you see the same stars in the US and in Iraq?

While some constellations may be visible from both the US and Iraq, the positions of the stars in the night sky will vary based on the observer's location on Earth. Different latitudes and longitudes will result in a different perspective of the night sky, so not all stars visible in one location will be seen from the other.


What are 3 qualities of the lines of longitude?

-- they are semi-circles -- they are not parallel -- they join the north and south poles -- they are perpendicular to the equator -- the higher the latitude, the closer together any two longitudes are -- at the poles, all longitudes are the same point -- for every longitude west, there is an equal longitude east

Is it the same time in south America as north America?

There are several time offsets that are used on both continents, since they have several major longitudes in common.
