no it justs goes in directions

∙ 14y agoIf you define one direction (for example, north) as positive, then the opposite direction is negative.
No, lines of latitude do not intersect.
The other name that is used for lines latitude is parallels. The main latitude is the equator which is at zero degrees.
there are 36 lines of latitude respectively
latitude longitudes are known as meridians
To plot negative latitude and longitude coordinates, use the correct format for the coordinates (e.g., (-12.345, -67.890)) and ensure that your mapping tool or software supports plotting negative coordinates. Most mapping tools will automatically recognize negative values and plot the coordinates accordingly.
Negative latitude indicates latitude south of the equator, or the southern hemisphere. Negative longitude indicates longitude west of Greenwich, or the western hemisphere.
-- At the maximum positive latitude, you would be at the north pole. -- At the maximum negative latitude, you would be at the south pole.
If you define one direction (for example, north) as positive, then the opposite direction is negative.
Very far south. It is cold and so then the latitude will probably be negative. If you thought it would be positive, you are crazy.
To get the correct information from longitude and latitude coordinates with negative numbers, simply indicate the direction when referencing the coordinates. For example, a latitude of -30 degrees should be expressed as 30 degrees South, and a longitude of -100 degrees should be expressed as 100 degrees West. This ensures the correct location is understood.
All lines of latitude are parallel to each other. The equator is the line of latitude at 0 degrees. Lines of latitude in the northern hemisphere have a positive latitude or are designated with "N" for North. Likewise, lines latitude in the southern hemisphere have a negative latitude or are designated with "S" for South.For example, the continental US (not including Hawaii and Alaska) is contained within the lines of latitude at 25 N and 50 N.
The distance from the equator is the angle of latitude. The distance from equator can be measured as magnitude of the latitude.The equator is at zero degrees latitude and a location north of the equator has a positive latitude value from 0 to +90, whereas a location south of the equator has a negative latitude. For example, a one-degree distance from the equator represents a length of ~111 km (or 60 nautical miles).
The lines of latitude and longitude can be thought of as a grid of horizontal and verticals over the surface of the earth. The x-axis is the longitude and the y-axis is the latitude. The center is located at (0,0) -- that's latitude 0 and longitude 0. Latitude values with positive values are found in the northern hemisphere and negative values in the southern hemisphere. Longitude values with positive values are found in the eastern hemisphere and negative values in the western hemisphere.Any point on that imaginary grid can be located using a longitude value on the x-axis and latitude on the y-axis. Increasing digits on latitude and longitude values map onto an ever smaller area. Six (6) decimal places of precision is enough to map down to a point with 10 cm accuracy.
Latitude is a geographic coordinate that specifies the north-south position of a point on the Earth's surface. It is measured in degrees, with the equator at 0 degrees latitude and the North and South poles at 90 degrees latitude.
The Congo River is the worldâ??s deepest river and it is located in Africa. The latitude of the Congo River is negative 6.0792 degrees south and the longitude is 12.45 degrees east.
No, the declination of a star is its angular distance north or south of the celestial equator, measured in degrees. So, a star located 30 degrees north of the celestial equator would have a declination of +30 degrees.
