-- 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.

How does the frequency vary with the length of a pendulum?
The frequency of a pendulum varies with the square of the length.
Which is the best estimate for the length of an earthworm?
Earthworms vary greatly in their length.
Does the amount of freon vary in different units?
The amount of refrigerant a unit contains depends on the size of the unit. That is the standard charge but the charge after the system is installed may be more or less. The system charge depends on the size of the refrigerant lines, the length of the lines, and the size of the unit.
How does frequency of a pendulum vary with its length?
The frequency of a pendulum is inversely proportional to the square root of its length.
What is field length?
The amount of data stored in such fields can vary in length. Usually you do specify a maxmimum length so that databases can optimize how data is stored and accessed.
What is the point called when latitude and longitude lines touch?
There is no term for where "latitude and longitude meet" since they are not absolutely defined points or lines; instead, they are coordinates which must be used in tandem to define a point and can vary over any part of the earth's surface (or any object which is given a system of latitude and longitude).
Where lines of latitude and longitude intersect is called?
From largest to smallest, the labels are:Degrees (°)Minutes (')Seconds (")The numbers are always followed by a hemispheric notation, either N for Northern or S for Southern (longitude) and E for Eastern or W for Western hemisphere (latitude).
What is the latitude and longitude of the polar ice cap?
The latitude is approximately 10 degrees North (it can vary a few degrees in certain areas). Latitude is 0-359 degrees (the earth is round after all). I meant longitude for 0-359 degrees.
Is longitude horizontal or vertical?
The lines of longitude are vertical; longitude measures the horizontal distance from 0 degrees longitude. Here is a mnemonic that helps me: Latitude sounds a little like 'ladder-tude', and the rungs of a ladder are horizontal. I picture myself 'stepping up or down' the lines of ladder-tude, and this moves me farther north or farther south. That leaves vertical for longitude. While the lines of longitude are drawn from north to south, their locations measure a parameter that changes from east to west; longitude tells you how far east or west you are (in degrees, not distance) from the prime meridian (zero degrees longitude). Lines of latitude are drawn from east to west, and they measure how far north or south you are. So running the risk of confusing you, the "concept" of longitude (what is your position east/west of the prime meridian) is really horizontal in nature. This can be a little hard to grasp. Draw a line on a piece of paper; make the line exactly one inch from the left margin. You have drawn the line 'up and down', but the line is there to tell you how to get one inch from the margin (left-right) no matter where you are on the paper. And no matter where you are on the line, you are one inch to the right of the left margin. So if you travel up and down a line of longitude, you might cover several thousand miles, but you haven't budged from your measure of longitude-- how far you are (in degrees) from the prime meridian. As you travel along your line of longitude, you see hash-marks with changing numbers of degrees. These are not changes in longitude, but in latitude. They answer: How far north or south am I, along this line of longitude? When doing navigation, the simple thing is that lines of longitude are all long. Since they all go through both the North and South Pole, they are all the same length. Latitude lines vary in length. Latitude: LAT=FLAT Longitude: LONG (heights)
What is the latitude and longitude of Shikoku?
The Japanese island of Shikoku has an approximate latitude of 33°45′N and a longitude of 133°30′E. As the island has an areaof approximately 18,00 km2, this will vary depending on the preciselocation on the island.
How does latitude affect magnetic dip angle?
This phenomenon is due to "dip" or declination of the magnetic lines of force and vary with latitude. Only at the magnetic equator are the lines of force parallel to the surface.
How far is tempe Arizona from Guatemala?
Please note: The distance is calculated "as the crow flies". I use the latitude and longitude of the cities to calculate the distance, so this may vary from the driving distances. Please note: The distance is calculated "as the crow flies". I use the latitude and longitude of the cities to calculate the distance, so this may vary from the driving distances.
What is the longutide and latitude of Easter Island?
Numbers vary by a few minutes from one source to the next mainly depending on what specific part of the island you are measuring from. These are the coordinates for Hanga Roa the capital of Easter Island a.k.a Rapa Nui and they are the official Latitude and Longitude: 27 degrees 05' South Latitude 109 degrees 20' West Longitude.
Are the lengths of latitudes and longitudes equal give reasons?
The parallel of zero° latitude is a circle (called the 'equator')that's roughly 24,900 miles long.The parallel of 15° latitude is a circle that's roughly 24,000 miles long.The parallel of 30° latitude is a circle that's roughly 21,500 miles long.The parallel of 45° latitude is a circle that's roughly 17,600 miles long.The parallel of 60° latitude is a circle that's roughly 12,400 miles long.The parallel of 65° latitude is a circle that's roughly 10,500 miles long.The parallel of 70° latitude is a circle that's roughly 8,500 miles long.The parallel of 75° latitude is a circle that's roughly 6,400 miles long.The parallel of 80° latitude is a circle that's roughly 4,300 miles long.The parallel of 85° latitude is a circle that's roughly 2,170 miles long.The parallel of 87° latitude is a circle that's roughly 1,300 miles long.The parallel of 88° latitude is a circle that's roughly 870 miles long.The parallel of 89° latitude is a circle that's roughly 430 miles long.There is no 'parallel' of 90° latitude. It's a single point (the north or south pole),and has no length at all.
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 long is a epic?
The length of an epic can vary, but typically they are longer narrative poems that span a significant length. Epics can range from several thousand lines to over ten thousand lines depending on the specific work.
