What is the shortest latitudes at what degree?
The higher the latitude, the shorter the circle is. -- Equator . . . zero latitude, 24,900 miles long. -- North pole / south pole . . . 90 degrees latitude, zero length.
How many feet are in one degree of latitude at 43 degrees longitude?
At 43 degrees latitude, one degree of latitude corresponds to approximately 364,570 feet. The length of a degree of latitude varies slightly depending on the specific location on Earth due to its non-perfectly spherical shape.
Which is the smallest latitude?
Meridians of longitude are half-circles. All of them have the same length.Circles of latitude have zero length at the poles, and are longest at the equator.
Are all the lines of latitude the same length?
no they are notThe lines of latitude run East/West. Each line forms a circle around the earth. The equator is at latitude zero degrees, and it encircles the earth. As we travel further and further North the earth, being a globe shape, gets narrower and narrower the further North we go. So all the circles get smaller and smaller as we move from the equator to the North. The lines of latitude are parallel to each other.Montreal, in Canada, is about 45o latitude, that is, halfway between the equator and the North pole, so a horizontal circle at that point would be smaller than the circle of latitude at the equator.At 80o North, the circle of latitude at that angle from the equator is just a small circle around the North pole. At 890 degrees North it is nearly at the North pole and the circle is very small. The North pole itself is at a latitude (angle) of 900, and there is no circle at all! It's smaller than a dot!The lines of longitude run from the North pole to the South pole. All the lines run from the top of the earth to the bottom of the earth. The lines converge at the poles, and are widest at the equator. Unlike the lines of latitude, all lines of longitude are the same length.For more information, see 'Related Links' below.
What is the latitude and longitude of Romania?
Latitude: 43°37′07″N to 48°15′06″NLongitude: 20°15′44″E to 29°41′24″E
Why latitude-180 while 360 lines length why this number?
The maximum latitude is 90 degrees, you cannot have 180 degrees latitude.
Are the lengths of lines latitude equal to each other?
No, as you move north (or south) form the equator, they form smaller and smaller circles. -- The length of the zero latitude line (the equator) is about 24,900 miles. -- The length of the 30-degrees latitude line (either north or south) is about 21,500 miles. -- The length of the 60-degrees latitude line (either north or south) is about 12,400 miles. -- The length of the 90-degrees latitude line (north or south pole) is zero.
What is the shortest latitudes at what degree?
The higher the latitude, the shorter the circle is. -- Equator . . . zero latitude, 24,900 miles long. -- North pole / south pole . . . 90 degrees latitude, zero length.
How many nautical miles in 90 degrees?
The length of 90 degrees of latitude in nautical miles is 60.31. In statute miles 69.40
How many miles is in 1 degree?
Degrees of longitude are uniform in length. 1 degree (Longitude) = 69.69 miles*Cos(Ө)(latitude) however the length of a degree of latitude depends on were you are on the planet. A degree of latitude at the equator is notable longer than, for example, a degree of latitude at the latitude of Toronto, Canada.
How many latitude lines are there state their name and their degrees?
That's like asking "How many distance marks are there painted on the groundbetween my house and the corner ?"There are 90 degrees of latitude between the south pole and the equator, andanother 90 degrees of latitude between the equator and the north pole.Total ... 180 degrees of latitude on Earth. You're free to take your map or yourglobe and draw as many lines of latitude on them as you want. Just as you'refree to draw as many length marks on your 1-foot ruler as you want. You candraw a line or a length mark at any latitude or any length where you want one.Some maps have a great many latitude lines printed on them, some maps haveonly a few latitude lines on them, and some maps have no latitude lines printedon them at all.
How many feet are in one degree of latitude at 43 degrees longitude?
At 43 degrees latitude, one degree of latitude corresponds to approximately 364,570 feet. The length of a degree of latitude varies slightly depending on the specific location on Earth due to its non-perfectly spherical shape.
What are the longest latitude and longest longitude?
The longest parallel of latitude is the one defined as 'zero degrees', known as the "Equator". All meridians of longitude have the same length ... 1/2 of the earth's polar circumference.
Which is the smallest latitude?
Meridians of longitude are half-circles. All of them have the same length.Circles of latitude have zero length at the poles, and are longest at the equator.
Are all the lines of latitude the same length?
no they are notThe lines of latitude run East/West. Each line forms a circle around the earth. The equator is at latitude zero degrees, and it encircles the earth. As we travel further and further North the earth, being a globe shape, gets narrower and narrower the further North we go. So all the circles get smaller and smaller as we move from the equator to the North. The lines of latitude are parallel to each other.Montreal, in Canada, is about 45o latitude, that is, halfway between the equator and the North pole, so a horizontal circle at that point would be smaller than the circle of latitude at the equator.At 80o North, the circle of latitude at that angle from the equator is just a small circle around the North pole.

What is the latitude and longitude of Romania?
Latitude: 43°37′07″N to 48°15′06″NLongitude: 20°15′44″E to 29°41′24″E
If you were to travel through an angle of 8 degrees across the surface of the earth through how many kilometers would you have traveled?
It depends on your latitude. At the equator (0 degrees) a degree of longitude covers just over 111 km, so 8 degrees would be about 890 km. At 45 degrees of latitude, a degree of longitude covers just under 79 km, so 8 degress would be about 555 km. Check out the calculator in the related link. Enter the degrees of latitude and it gives the length of a degree at that point.
