Why is 57 degrees north considered a high latitude - is it just because 'twilight' lasts all night at that latitude in summer?
That's less than ten degrees from the Arctic Circle.
What else can I help you with?
Does it get darker than astronomical twilight in Newcastle-upon-Tyne England in June?
No because the latitude is 55 degrees N so the Sun never goes more than 11½ degrees below the northern horizon, so nautical twilight and astronomical twilight do not end.
What is the cutoff - southernmost - latitude for astronomical dusk - start of twilight - near the summer solstice?
At the summer solstice the sun sets on the northern horizon at latitude 66.6 degrees north. At the same time astronomical twilight ends only at latitudes below 48.6 degrees north. It's 66.6 minus 18 because for astronomical twilight to end the Sun's centre must be 18 degrees below the horizon.
What is the latitude of 60 degrees north?
The latitude of 60 degrees north is 60 degrees north of the equator. It is considered the Arctic Circle, a line of latitude at approximately 66.5 degrees north that marks the southernmost point where the sun does not set on the summer solstice.
Does the sky get darker than astronomical twilight on dates near the June solstice in Munich Germany disregarding light pollution?
Astronomical twilight ends with the Sun's centre at 18 degrees below the horizon. Near the June solstice that happens at midnight at a latitude of 66.5-18 degrees which is 48.5 degrees. Munich has a latitude of 48.1 degrees so the answer is yes, but not very.
How many degrees of latitude are there from zero degrees latitude to the north pole?
There are 90 degrees latitude from the equator (zero degrees latitude) to the North Pole.
What is located at 130 degrees north latitude?
130 degrees north latitude does not exist because the maximum degree of latitude is 90, both north and south.
Is the equator low latitude?
Yes. The equator is located at 0 degrees latitude. The 'low' in 'low latitudes' refers to low numbers; for example, latitudes in the 0 to 30 degree range are generally considered to be 'low,' 30-60 degrees considered 'mid-latitudes,' and 60-90 degrees considered 'high-latitudes.' Latitudes range from 0 to 90 degrees in both directions (N and S) starting from the equator.
Where is 0 degree latitude?
The equator is considered to be 0 degrees latitude. It intersects with the prime meridian, 0 degrees longitude, in the Gulf of Guinea in the Atlantic Ocean.
How many degrees south is the equator in south latitude?
The Equator is at 0 degrees latitude. The South Pole is at the centre of the Southern Hemisphere. The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. Every line of latitude between 0 and 90 S are in the Southern Hemisphere.
What is the degrees between the lines of latitude?
A line of latitude is the line of latitude shown on a map, usually representing 10 degrees latitude. Degrees of latitude are simply the number of degrees, such as 33.33 etc.
What is the line of latitude that is zero degrees latitude is the?
Zero degrees of latitude is the Equator.
What is the difference between lines and degrees of latitude?
A line of latitude is the line of latitude shown on a map, usually representing 10 degrees latitude. Degrees of latitude are simply the number of degrees, such as 33.33 etc.
