Which latitude bisect india into two equal parts?
There is no such latitude - unless you are quite flexible about "equal".
What lies at the intersection of the longest lines of latitude and longitude?
All lines of longitude are equal. The longest line of latitude is the Equator.
Which lines of longitude and latitude vary in length?
-- All meridians of longitude have the same length ... they all join the north and south poles. -- Each parallel of north latitude has the same length as the parallel at the equal south latitude, but no other one.
Which line of latitude divides the country into two equal parts?
There are around 200 countries in the world and there will be a different line of latitude for each one. Since you have not bothered to specify which country, I cannot provide a more helpful answer.
How many minutes are equal to 1.5 miles?

About how many miles on Earth are equal to one degree of latitude?
One degree of latitude on Earth is equal to approximately 69 miles (111 kilometers).
How are lines of latitude and longitude similar?
they are always equal
How is a drgree of longitude or latitude further subdivided?
Each degree is divided into 60 minutes, and each minute is divided into 60 seconds. While the distance represented by a degree of longitude can vary with the latitude, each degree of latitude (north and south) is equal to 60 nautical miles, so one minute of latitude is equal to 1 nautical mile. (About 1.15 statute miles) One nautical mile is equal to 2026 yards, so one second of latitude is equal to 33.8 feet.
How are the altitude of polaris and latitude of an observer related?
The altitude of Polaris and the latitude of an observer are directly related. The altitude of Polaris in the sky is approximately equal to the observer's latitude in the Northern Hemisphere. The higher the latitude, the higher Polaris will appear in the sky.
How the latitude of an observer may be determined by observation of the pole star?
The angle between the Pole Star and the horizon is equal to your latitude.
What lies at the intersection of the longest lines of latitude and longitude?
All lines of longitude are equal. The longest line of latitude is the Equator.
How many ft is a minute of latitude equal to?
about 6075-ft (rounded)
What is the latitude that divides the earth into 2 equal parts?
The equator divides the earth into two hemispheres, northern and southern. Its latitude is 0 degrees.
In the northern hemisphere the altitude height in degrees above the horizon of the North Star is Always roughly equal to the?
latitude of the observer.
The latitude of the North Star is always equal to the altitude of the viewer?
Yes, the altitude of the North Star is equal to the observer's latitude in the Northern Hemisphere. The North Star's position in the sky is directly above the Earth's North Pole, and as you move south from the North Pole, the angle of elevation of the North Star above the horizon decreases by an amount equal to your latitude.
How many miles on Earth are equal to one degree of latitude?
About 69 miles
