What city is 38 degrees latitude and -97 degrees longitude?
If you mean 38 degrees North latitude and 97 degrees West longitude, Wichita is not far away.
Is the International Date line a line of longitude?
No. Greenwich Mean Time is the timezone located along the Prime Meridian, 0º longitude. The International Date Line is on the exact opposite side of the earth at 180º, with some variance. The International Date Line is 12 hours away from Greenwich Mean Time in many areas.
What is the solar time of 110 degrees east longitude if it is noon solar time at 70 degrees west longitude?
70W is 180 degrees away from 110E, so if it's noon at 70W, it's midnight at 110E.
Explain the relationship between longitude and the international date line?
The International Date Line is nominally the line of 180 degrees longitude, both east and west ... exactly opposite the Prime Meridian and half-the-earth away from it. The Line was drawn with some jogs and zig-zags in it for political reasons, mainly to avoid having it split island nations or contiguous areas of national interest.
What is country at 12 degrees south latitude 177 degrees west longitude?
These coordinates are in international waters of the South Pacific Ocean, and are not part of any country. The nearest point of land is part of the French Overseas Collectivity of Wallis and Futuna, 100 miles away.
What line of longitude would be 180 degrees away from the prime meridian?
The 180th meridian or antimeridian is the meridian which is 180° east or west of the Prime Meridian ... It is common to both east longitude and west longitude. It runs through the Pacific Ocean, and was the nominal guideline for the position of the International Dateline, although the dateline itself had to depart from the antimeridian in several places.
What is the latitude of the international date line?
The International Date Line is NOMINALLY the meridian of 180 degrees longitude (both east and west).The actual date line has been defined with a few bumps and jogs in it that depart from 180 degrees, in order to avoid cutting through island nations. (That would have put two different calendar dates in the same country.)
How many longitudinal degrees away from Illinois is Iran?
Illinois and Iran are both several degrees of longitude wide. So, depending on the starting and ending points you select, the space between them may have several different values. -- The longitude at the center of Springfield, IL is about 88.64° West. -- The longitude at the center of Tehran, Iran is about 51.41° East. -- The difference is about 140.1° degrees of longitude.
How far away is Thailand Bangkok from the Equator?
Eight degrees north. This is because degrees (longitude) show how far a place is from the equator.
How many degrees of longitude are there between the prime meridian and the section of the international date line that lies directly on a line og longitude?
We were going along fine there until we got almost to the end of the question. That's where we found that you too are one of the huge number of people who thinks that there's a standard set of "lines". There isn't. Some maps and globes have some lines of constant latitude and longitude printed on them, and some don't. The ones that do may have them printed every 45 degrees, or every 30 degrees, or every 20, 15 or 10 degrees. It's completely up to the publisher of the globe or the map. The mapping software that I use will print a line every 2 seconds of longitude if I want them. That would be 648,000 lines of longitude around the world. If the International Date Line had not been zigged and zagged to avoid splitting states, countries, or islands into two different calendar dates, it would have exactly followed the meridian of 180 degrees longitude ... directly opposite the Prime Meridian and 180 degrees away from it, both east and west.
