What location can be shown by latitude and longitude?
Any location on the surface of the earth can be defined with a latitude and a longitude. That's what they're for.
There are what degrees between the lines of latitude shown on this map?
grid lines of longitude and latitude
How do you write 15 degrees E od longitude in words?
Normally, just as shown in the question, as "15 degrees north latitude", or rarely "fifteen degrees north latitude". These are both expressions of the parallel 15° N.
Help with longitude and latitude?
Well, what exactly do you need to know? Latitude is up and down (North and South) , and longitude is side to side (East to West). Just think of latitude fatitude for side to side, and LONGitude, for up and down. Latitude comes first.
Is latitude going east to west and longitude going north to south?
Latitude is the distance of a point north or south of the equator in degrees, minutes, and seconds. Latitude lines on a globe are parallel lines circling the planet north and south of the equator.Longitude is the distance of a point east or west of the Prime (Greenwich) Meridian in degrees, minutes, and seconds. Longitude lines are shown on a globe as regularly spaced vertical lines between the north and south poles.
What do the lines of latitude and longitude mean since they are not visible?
Lines of latitude and longitude are only shown only maps so as to help people navigate and pinpoint places on Earth with more accuracy.
What is 55 north latitude and 5 east longitude?
This geographical point is east of the British Isles, north of the Netherlands and west of Denmark. The sea it is located in is the North Sea.
Is the grid system latitude and longitude?
Latitude (shown as a horizontal line) is the angular distance, in degrees, minutes, and seconds of a point north or south of the Equator. Lines of latitude are often referred to as parallels. Longitude (shown as a vertical line) is the angular distance, in degrees, minutes, and seconds, of a point east or west of the Prime (Greenwich) Meridian. Lines of longitude are often referred to as meridians. Distance between Lines If you divide the circumference of the earth (approximately 25,000 miles) by 360 degrees, the distance on the earth's surface for each one degree of latitude or longitude is just over 69 miles, or 111 km. Note: As you move north or south of the equator, the distance between the lines of longitude gets shorter until they actually meet at the poles. At 45 degrees N or S of the equator, one degree of longitude is about 49 miles. Minutes and Seconds For precision purposes, degrees of longitude and latitude have been divided into minutes (') and seconds ("). There are 60 minutes in each degree. Each minute is divided into 60 seconds. Seconds can be further divided into tenths, hundredths, or even thousandths.
What is the latitude of fifteen degree Celsius?
Fifteen degrees celcius is a temperature not a latitude. Latitude is shown in degrees north or degrees south
Is latitude the vertical line or horizontal?
Lines of latitude run east-west as circles parallel (or horizontal lines) to the equator. Latitude measures the angle in degrees north or south from the equator where the equator is located at 0 degrees.
Is altitude north and south?
Altitude is height above the ground. Latitude and Longitude are map coordinates. Lines of Latitude are the horizontal lines shown running east-to-west on maps and locate your position on the globe in the North-South direction.
How many degrees difference is there between each line of latitude and longitude shown on the globes?
Some globes have lines printed every 15 degrees, others have lines printed every 20 degrees, or every 30 degrees, or every 10 degrees, and some globes have no lines printed on them at all. There's no standard set of lines. A line can be drawn at any longitude you want, and a line can be drawn at any latitude you want. There is mapping software that can print lines separated by 2 seconds of arc if I want them. That's 324,000 lines of latitude and 648,000 lines of longitude. Your question is a lot like asking "How many inches difference is there between each mark of length shown on the ruler ?". The answer, of course, is that it depends on the ruler, they're not all the same, and there's no official standard set of marks. Each degree of latitude (measuring north or south) equals 60 nautical miles, so one minute of latitude equals 1 NM. At the equator, each degree of longitude (measuring east/west) is also equal to 60NM. However, the longitude lines converge as you move north or south, and the further north or south you go, the closer together they are. You can calculate the change, which is proportional to the cosine of your latitude. So at the equator, one minute of latitude equals one mile, while at latitude 45 degrees north or south, one minute of longitude equals 0.707 NM. A hundred yards south of the north pole, each step east or west is a half degrees of longitude!
