Longitude measures the angular distance of a place east or west of the meridian at Greenwich, England, or west of the standard meridian of a celestial object, usually expressed in degrees and minutes.
latitude longitudes are known as meridians
No number of meters equals one minute, unless possibly minutes of longitude are meant. Normally, minutes measure time and meter measures distance, which are incommensurable (incompatible) categories.
You can, but the distances are not constant - they are zero at the poles and increase as you go towards the equator.
It is a time zone.
Since there is no such thing as absolute time, there is no way to measure it.
They measure latitude & Longitude.
Longitude lines measure how far (in degrees) you are East or West of the Prime Meridian (which is a longitude line that runs through Greenwich, England and is designated as 0° longitude).
latitude and longitude
degrees
They measure position
Longitude is an inappropriate measure, tropical forests are constrained by latitude and geography not longitude.
No, latitude. Longitude is east and west.
Latitude and longitude are angles, and can be expressed in any unit of angle measure. Degrees are quite popular.
The smallest unit of measure for longitude is seconds. There are 60 seconds in 1 minute of longitude.
A marine chronometer measures time. It is a very precise instrument because it can also be used to measure the longitude of the ship at sea using the time shown and the angle of the sun.
No, it measures degrees. Longitude can measure time, but not from the equator but from the prime meridian
Lines of longitude, also known as meridians, measure the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian, which runs through Greenwich, England. They help determine a location's position in terms of longitude on the Earth's surface.
