How far can you go in 372 miles?
Travelling 372 miles from your destination will take you exactly 372 miles. No matter where you start from, if you travel 372 miles, you will have travelled exactly 372 miles.
How can you travel 3 miles south and then 3 miles east and then 3 miles north and be at your starting place?
You can start near the South Pole - 3 miles North of any point on a latitude that encircles the earth an integer number of times in 3 miles; or you can start at the North Pole.
Someone said you can travel 75 miles in any direction in England and you get to the sea is this true?
not necessarily because it depends on where in England you start from as well as on which direction or directions you travel in but it is true that there is nowhere in England that lies more than 75 miles from the sea in some direction
How long will it take a car to travel 9 miles at 20 miles per hour?
Let us assume that the car has zero acceleration, and will remain the same speed.We will start with the time it takes to travel 1 mile. Since a car going 60 miles per hour takes 1 minute to go one mile ( 60 minutes divided by 60 miles equals 1 ), it will take 3minutes for a car going 20 miles per hour to travel 1mile ( 60/20= 3. )If it takes 3 minutes to travel 1 mile, then it will take 27 minutes to travel 9 miles( 3* 9= 27. )
How many minutes in ten miles?
GEOMETRY: On a spheroid, which is where degrees, minutes, and seconds can be used for measurement of distance or position, the answer depends on the orientation of the line segment and possibly the latitude of the start and end points (if the line segment is not precisely north-south). In two-dimensional geometry, such as a line on paper, the term "minutes" has no meaning in terms of measurement. TRAVEL TIME: The answer depends on your speed. At 60 MPH, there are ten minutes in ten miles.
How far offshore is 100 miles in longitude?
Given a starting point at 0 degrees longitude on the equator, a distance of 100 miles east or west is approximately 1.4 degrees.However, the lines of longitude are closer together towards the poles and furthest from each other along the equator. So, if you start from Greenland with a latitude of 75 degrees and travel 100 miles east or west then you travel 5.7 degrees in longitude. As you approach the poles, all lines of longitude converge into a single point so traveling from the equator to the poles increases the number of degrees in a given distance traveled on the globe.
If you start at the Earth's equator and travel due north half the distance to the north pole at what latitude will you be located?
If you start at the Earth's equator and travel due north half the distance to the North Pole, you will be located at 45 degrees North latitude.
Why is traveling 100 degrees from the equator the same as traveling 80 degrees?
This only true when north or south from the equator. Lines of latitude are parallel lines around the earth starting at 0 degrees from the equator. From the equator to the poles has an angular measurement of 90 degrees. The poles are 90 degrees north and south of the equator respectively. If you travel north 90 degrees for instance, which is one quarter of the globe, you would be at the North Pole. You cannot then travel any further north. Any further travel would be south. If you then travel another 10 degrees you would be reducing your northing by ten degrees. 10 degrees from 90 degrees is 80 degrees. Hence you would be at the latitude of 80 degrees north. A bit like walking up a hill that is 90 feet high. Once you get to the top 90 feet up, you cannot get any higher. If you walk further you are going downhill.
Which line is closer to the equator 30N or 15S?
25 degrees south (or north) is closer to the equator that 30 degrees north (or south).This has a lot to do with the mathematical fact that 25 is less than 30.The equator is the 'zero' of latitude; 'north' and 'south' start from it.
Where did start finding the places on their latitudes?
We measure latitude in degrees north or south of the equator. So the equator has a latitude of zero, while the north pole has a latitude of 90 North. Each degree of latitude is 60 nautical miles north or south.
What is the degrees of what latitude lines start from?
All lines of latitude start from the 0 degree latitude line, known as the equator.
Why there is no higher latitude than 90N and 90S?
If you start on the equator and travel straight north, let's say, then yourlatitude begins at zero, gets higher and higher as you get farther fromthe equator, and reaches 90 degrees when you get to the north pole.If you just sail on over the top and keep going, down the other side, thenyou start getting closer to the equator on the other side, and your latitude isdecreasing now. 90 degrees was the farthest you could get from the equator.
What time of year does the sun reach its highest point?
Assuming you live more than 23.5 degrees from the equator, at the start of summer. In the northern hemisphere, that would be in June.
What is 90 degrees north of the equator?
The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude.
Why longitudes are 360 degrees and latitude 180 degrees?
It's possible to be halfway around the Earth from the Prime Meridian ... in the Pacific Ocean. So you can start from the Prime Meridian, and you can travel 180° East to the Pacific Ocean, or 180° West to the same region ... total 360° of numbers to describe your east/west position on Earth. On the other hand, latitude is measured beginning on the equator, and you can't get any more than 90° from the equator, north or south. If you start at the equator, head out north or south, and travel halfway around the Earth, that brings you back to the equator. 90° latitude puts you at one of the poles, and that's as far north or south as you can get. So a total of 180° of latitude covers every place on Earth.
Lines of latitude are 181 or 180?
There are a total of 181 lines of latitude, with 180 being the maximum number. This is due to the equator being considered a line of latitude, which makes it a total of 181 lines from the equator to the poles.
How far is the equator from Australia?
Don't the know the northernmost point of Australia, but according to one source, Darwin, Australia, which is on the northern coast of Australia, is 647 nautical miles from the Equator, which translates to 745 miles. Verify if that's true, but it's a start!
