One source lists the 'average' radius of the earth as 3,959 miles, so we'll go ahead
and use that, and assume the earth to be a perfect sphere with that radius.
Also, the earth completes one revolution in about 4 minutes less than 24 hours.
But we are too lazy to take that into account, and we'll just call it 24 hours.
44 degrees 9 minutes = 44.15 degrees.
Earth circumference = (2 pi) x (radius) = (7,918 pi) miles.
Speed of rotation on the equator = [ (7,918 pi)/24 ] miles per hour.
Speed of rotation at any latitude = (speed on the equator) x (cosine of the latitude)
(7,918 pi) x cosine(44.15 degrees) / 24 = 743.68 miles per hour (rounded)
The highest degree of latitude a person can travel to is 90 degrees, which is the North Pole or the South Pole. These locations mark the northernmost and southernmost points on Earth's surface, respectively.
Kansas City in Missouri is the major North American city closest to the coordinates 39 degrees N latitude and 95 degrees W longitude.
This is so as to pinpoint a location. Without the directions, there would be 4 possible locations. For example, 30 degrees and 76 degrees could mean 30 degrees north and 76 degrees east, 30 degrees south and 76 degrees west etc.Without degrees makes it almost impossible to find a location at all, because there are a total of 180 degrees of latitude and 360 degrees of longitude, which can be split up further into the minutes and even seconds. In the end you would end up with endless possibilities.
Well, what exactly do you need to know? Latitude is up and down (North and South) , and longitude is side to side (East to West). Just think of latitude fatitude for side to side, and LONGitude, for up and down. Latitude comes first.
Solar time is based on the position of the sun relative to the observer's longitude. For a person living 3 degrees west of the noon meridian, solar noon would occur approximately 12 minutes earlier than standard noon, while for a person 5 degrees east, solar noon would be about 20 minutes later. Therefore, the solar times for the two individuals would be 11:48 AM for the person in the west and 12:20 PM for the person in the east.
Close to the equatorial diameter of the earth in miles, multiplied by pi, divided by 24 (hours) multiplied by cos(44 deg 8 min). Answer in miles per hour. About 750 mph.
I believe they have to give you their coordinates which are degrees east or west latitude and degrees north or south longitude. For example They'd say I'm at 30 degrees east latitude and 60 degrees north longitude and then you just find the point where those coordinates meet.

No, a person living in New York State cannot see the sun directly overhead at 90 degrees. This is because New York is located at a latitude of about 40.7 degrees North, and the sun is only directly overhead at the equator (0 degrees latitude) during the equinoxes. The sun can be at its highest point in the sky during summer, but it will still be at an angle rather than directly overhead.

Therefore, the solar times for the two individuals would be 11:48 AM for the person in the west and 12:20 PM for the person in the east.
The solar times for both persons would be different due to the time zone difference. The person 3 degrees west of the Moon meridian would experience a solar time that is about 12 minutes behind the standard time, while the person 5 degrees east would be about 20 minutes ahead of the standard time. This is due to the Earth's rotation causing changes in solar time as we move east or west from the standard meridian.
Since the Earth is a solid and must rotate all in one piece, every point on Earth rotates from west to east at the rate of almost exactly 15 degrees per hour.
20 minutes that is why the poor needs homes!
1 there's a thing called longitude 2 there's a thing called latitude 3 there's a thing called geography 4 there's a thing called internet 5 there's a thing called bimboism from the person who typed this whoever reads this loves hobo's and licking their feet
