What is 33 degrees South of equator statting with letter T?
Trundle, New South Wales is located at 32°55′S 147°42.5′ E, in SE Australia.
Treinta y Tres, Uruguay is located at 33°14′S 54°23′ W, in Eastern Uruguay on the Olimar River. Oddly enough, it is not named for its latitude but for the legendary "33 Orientales", heroes who in 1825 began the war that led to independence from Brazil in 1828.

What is a point on the earth farthest from the equator?
Not exact but one place too look at would be Saktyrskiy - Russia north of Pulankol' And probably the south pole
How are the equator and prime meridian the same?
Each is the starting place for its form of measurement - the equator for latitude and the prime meridian for longitude.
They are both considered to be '0' or the starting mark for counting in either latitude or longitude. They both go around the earth, even though one goes from North to South, while the other goes East to West.
Is value of g is greater at the poles or at equator?
The expression for acceleration due to gravity is
ge=GMe/r2Acceleration due to gravity is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the center of the Earth and the object. The acceleration due to gravity produced in an object on the surface of the Earth is dependent on the radius of the Earth. Earth is not a perfect sphere (slightly bulging out at the equator) its radius decreases as we move from the equator to the poles. At the equator and at sea level its value is about 9.78 m/s2 and at the poles it is 9.83 m/s2. Its mean value is taken as 9.8 m/s2 for all calculations.
Are you closer to the equator in northern Argentina or in southerns Spain?
Assuming that YOU were in either of those locations:
Northern Argentina is closer to the equator. The latitude of the equator is zero. Latitudes increase as you move farther from the equator, both north and south.
The northernmost point in Argentina is near 21.8° south latitude while the southernmost point in Spain is about 36° N near Gibraltar.
There are Spanish islands closer to the equator, the Canary Islands, at 27.6° N, but even so northern Argentina is closer to the equator by about 6° of latitude.
What is the distance from Montreal to the equator?
Downtown Calgary is 5,658.1 kilometers from the equator.
What is the approximate distance of the earths circumference equator?
360 degrees x 60 minutes = 21,600 minutes of arc for full circumference = 21,600 nautical miles (one minute of arc at equator = one nautical mile).
21,600 nautical miles = 24,872.7272...statute miles = 40,028.7 kilometres.
For all practical purposes 40, 000 km. = circumf. at equator.
Does the sub-solar point always hit the equator?
The "sub-solar point" is the point on Earth where the Sun is straight up, at a 90 degree angle to the ground. This point moves around the Earth each day as the Earth rotates, and appears to move north and south over the course of the year.
The sub-solar point is exactly on the equator at the moment of the two equinoxes.
In March, the sub-solar point is moving north as it crosses the equator; in September, the sub-solar point is moving south across the equator. In June, the sub-solar point creeps up to the Tropic of Cancer and then heads south again. In December, the sub-solar point gets all the way south to the Tropic of Capricorn at the winter solstice.
They were named the trade winds at a time when trade, or commerce, was conducted largely by sailing vessels that required wind in order to travel. The trade winds were used by sailing ships engaged in trade.
What is the speed of 100 KG person at the earth's equator?
Are you talking about the speed of rotation of the Earth's surface at the equator ?
Angularly, that would be 1 rotation/day, or roughly 1,038 miles per hour linearly.
The man's mass makes no difference. When a group of people all get together at the
equator, we don't see the heavy ones racing ahead or lagging behind the light ones.
What is the prime meridian of nebraska?
There is only one Prime Meridian on Earth. By international agreement,
it's the meridian that contains the groove on the floor of the transit room
of the Royal Observatory in Greenwich UK. That meridian is the definition
of zero longitude, from which all longitudes are measured.
As you get blank to the equater temperatures usually get blank?
As you get closer to the equator, temperatures usually get warmer.
What is the only ocean that does not extend both north and south of the equator?
Of the classical 4 oceans, only the Arctic Ocean (in the north) does not extend across the equator.
However, under the 5-ocean model, the Southern Oceanaround Antarctica is also only on one side of the equator (south).
The Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans all cross the equator.
countries near the equator are
1 Democratic Republic of Sao and Principe
2 Gabon
3 republic of the Congo
farther from it because the daytime is very short because it is concentrated in a small area. Near the equator the noonday sun is almost overhead every day so the ground is warmed strongly year-round.
What degrees in the equator is solar maximum?
Solar maximum can occur up to 42 degrees north of the equator as it did in 1859.
What ocean passes through Ghana?
No ocean passes through Ghana. However, the Gulf of Guinea is the southern border of Ghana, which is part of the Atlantic Ocean.
