What else can I help you with?
Where is the minimum distance between two meridianswhy?
the minimium distance between the two meridians is at the poles because all the meridians comerge at the poles
Are the lines of longitude the same distance apart at the equator as they are at the poles?
No. All of the meridians merge in a single point at the poles.
What is the center point from which all meridians begin?
The ends of all meridians of longitude converge at the north and south poles. Their centers are all on the equator.
What is the actual distance between lines of the longitude?
It depends on one's latitude, I believe. Distance at the Poles, Zero, at the Equator about 700 miles.
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.
Where is the maximum distance between 2 meridians?
The maximum distance between two meridians occurs at the equator, where the distance is approximately 69 miles (111 kilometers) apart. As you move toward the poles, the distance between meridians decreases, converging at the poles where they meet. Thus, the equator represents the widest separation between any two meridians.
What is the minimum distance between two meridians why?
The minimum distance between two meridians is zero, as meridians converge at the poles. At the equator, the distance between two meridians is maximized, approximately 69 miles (111 kilometers) apart. However, as you move towards the poles, this distance decreases until it becomes zero at the North and South Poles, where all meridians meet.
Why the distance between two meridians at the North Pole is o miles?
At the North Pole, all lines of longitude, or meridians, converge at a single point. This means that the distance between any two meridians at the North Pole is effectively zero miles, as they meet at that point and do not maintain any measurable separation. In contrast, the distance between meridians increases as you move towards the equator.
Is the distance between any two meridians the same as you travel north or south of the equator?
Between the equator and either pole, no matter what interval you choose foryour display of the meridians of longitude, they all gradually converge, untilthey all meet in a single point at the pole. The space between any two meridians,at any latitude, is(the space between them at the equator) x (cosine of the latitude). But their behavior on both sides of the equator is perfectly symmetrical.That is, as you move farther from the equator, the meridians converge inthe southern hemisphere exactly as they do in the northern one.
Does one degree of longitude equal 270 km?
The distance represented by one degree of longitude varies according to distance from the equator. That's because the meridians of longitude are equally distributed around the equator but all converge to a single point at the north and south poles. The greatest distance between any two meridians of longitude, then, is the distance between the points where they cross the equator. Along the equator, one degree of longitude covers about 111.1 kilometers.
Why is the distance between two meridians 0 mile?
It is because all lines of longitude originate and converge there.
Where is the minimum distance between two meridianswhy?
the minimium distance between the two meridians is at the poles because all the meridians comerge at the poles
What is the distance between meridians called?
degrees
What is the distance between (-54) (-36)?
First of all, a meridian can be drawn at any longitude, there's no standard set of them, and there are actually an infinite number of possible different ones. So in order to get anywhere with this question, you'd have to specify which two of them you're interested in. But even if you named two meridians, there's no single answer to the question, because the distance between any pair of meridians changes. They're farthest apart where they cross the equator, and ALL meridians come together at a single point at the north and south poles. The distance in one degree of longitude is about 69 miles on the equator, and it shrinks smoothly to zero at the poles. The distance between any two meridians is (69 miles) x (degrees of longitude between them) x (cosine of the latitude where you measure it).
Are the lines of longitude the same distance apart at the equator as they are at the poles?
No. All of the meridians merge in a single point at the poles.
What is properties of parallel and meridian?
Parallels Parallels are circles that are parallel to the equator. They are measured in degrees north or south of the equator, with 0° latitude being the equator itself. The distance between two adjacent parallels decreases as you move towards the poles. The equator is the longest parallel, while the poles are the shortest. Parallels are used to determine latitude, which is the measure of how far north or south a location is from the equator. Meridians Meridians are semi-circles that run from the North Pole to the South Pole. They are measured in degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian, which is the meridian that passes through Greenwich, England. The distance between two adjacent meridians is the same everywhere on Earth. The Prime Meridian is the longest meridian, while the 180° meridian is the shortest. Meridians are used to determine longitude, which is the measure of how far east or west a location is from the Prime Meridian.
The distance covered by a degree of longitude?
All longitudes converge (meet, come together) at the north and south pole. A drawing ofthe globe with some of the meridians added looks like the drawing of a peeled orange, andthe distance between two meridians depends on how far from the equator you measure it.One degree of longitude measured along the equator represents a distance of about 69.1 miles (111 km),and it shrinks steadily to zero at the poles.In general, it's(distance measured at the equator) multiplied by (cosine of the latitude where you measure it)
