A imaginary line that follows the curve of the earth the shortest distance between two points on a globe?
... is called a Great Circle arc.
The distance between 2 point is called?
It is simply called the distance between the two points - simple as that. How that distance is measured will depend on the nature of the surface on which the two points are located as well as on the metric for measuring distance that is defined on that space.The common metric in Euclidean space is the Pythagorean distance while on the surface of a sphere (like the Earth, for example), distances are measured along the great arc.
Why are the lines of longitude so much closer together at the bottom portion of the map than they are at the top?
Because the earth is round and the bottom of the earth is smaller than the middle of earth such as the equator
What is used to accurately locate points on earth?
A compass
The center of the earth is called a vent?
No, the centre of the Earth is called the Earth's core.
Bottom of the earth is called?
axis
What is the bottom of earth called?
Southern Hemisphere
The bottom half of the earth is called what?
Southern Hemisphere
What are the flat bits at the top and the bottom of the earth called?
The earth is round, due to gravity, so there are no flat bits at the top and bottom.
The distance from the top to the bottom of the Earth is called?
Latitude
What are the nearest points of the orbit of earth called?
There is one single point in the Earth's orbit where it is closest to the sun. That point is called the "perihelion".
What marks the tyop and bottom of the earth?
The top of the Earth is marked by the North Pole, while the bottom is marked by the South Pole. These points are located at the ends of Earth's axis of rotation, where the lines of longitude converge.
What is the lowest layer of the earth called?
The bottom. Seriously, the Inner Core.
What four hemispheres use latitude and longitude?
The half of the Earth that includes all points whose latitudes are northof the equator is called the northern Hemisphere.The half of the Earth that includes all points whose latitudes are southof the equator is called the southern Hemisphere.The half of the Earth that includes all points from the Prime Meridian westto 180° longitude is called the western Hemisphere.The half of the Earth that includes all points from the Prime Meridian eastto 180° longitude is called the eastern Hemisphere.
What is the bottom half of the earth called?
The bottom half of the Earth is called the Southern Hemisphere. This includes continents and countries such as Australia, Antarctica, South America, Africa, and parts of Asia. It is the region south of the equator.
Name given to icy areas at top and bottom of earth?
The icy areas at the top and bottom of the Earth are called the Arctic (at the North Pole) and the Antarctic (at the South Pole).
Where are the lowest and highest points on earth?
Everest is not the highest point on Earth in relationship to it's center. In terms of the point farthest away from the centre of the Earth, Chimborazoin Ecuador (6,267m (20,561ft)) can be considered the planet's most extreme high point. This is due to the Earth's oblate spheroidshape, with points near the Equator being farther out from the centre than those at the poles.
