What else can I help you with?
Why are lines of longitude called great circles?
Because they make big circles around the Earth.
What is the time to turn a distance of 1 degree?
depends on the distance from the center of the circle. eg it took one bloke 8 seconds to walk around the earth, but that was due to the fact he was at the pole
Why is a great circle used for navigation?
Because any 'Great Circle' is the shortest distance across a sphere. Where the Earth is concerned , all the meridians and the Equator are Great Circles. The Plane of a 'Great Circles ' 'cut' the sphere into two equally sized hemispheres. NB Other than the Equator all the latitudes are NOT great Circles.
What do scientists locate when they draw circles around three seismometer stations and find where the circles intersect?
The question, as posed, makes little sense. All that they would find is the points of intersection of the circles! The question says nothing about the sizes of the circles - whether they are the same or whether they represent some measure of seismic transmissivity of the earth near (under) them.
How many circles can the minute hand on an analog clock go around in a 24-hrs day the moon goes around the Earth once every 28 days About how long that it take the moon to go around the Earth 4 time?

How are the earth moon and sun related to each other?
The moon circles around the earth; the earth circles around the sun.
Parallels are imaginary circles around the globe that measures what?
Parallels are imaginary circles around the globe that measure latitude, which is the distance north or south of the equator. They help in locating positions on the Earth's surface and are often used as reference points in navigation and mapping.
Why are lines of longitude called great circles?
Because they make big circles around the Earth.
How do you know the sun goes around the earth?
You don't, because it does not. The Earth circles the Sun.
What is the distance around the earth's equator in cm?
The distance around the Earth's equator is about 40,075 kilometers, which is equivalent to 4,007,500,000 centimeters.
What is Earth distance to the Earth?
Around 0 mm, but one should ask what is the earth's distance to the earth in the earth
The invisible lines that form east-west circles around earth are called both lines of?
An invisible line that forms east-west circles around the Earth is called both parallel and line of latitude. An imaginary line that circles the earth from north to south is called both meridian and line of longitude.
What is the time to turn a distance of 1 degree?
depends on the distance from the center of the circle. eg it took one bloke 8 seconds to walk around the earth, but that was due to the fact he was at the pole
What do we call the imaginary line that circles the Earth's middle?
The imaginary line that circles the Earth's middle is called the equator. It divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
What angular distance do earth parallels measure?
one degree each.
What happen to the moon last night?
the moon orbits. it circles around the earth.
How many circles can you draw around the earth?
as many as possible it can go on for enternity
