Why are lines of latitude different depending on their location?

The question is somewhat vague, but I think you may be asking: Why are different lines of latitude marked with different numbers ? I'd compare that to the question: Why are different marks on the ruler marked with different numbers ? The reason is because both of them are systems invented to help you measure things. The marks on the ruler help you estimate the length of things that you place the ruler on, by showing you where a few exact lengths are. And the horizontal lines on a map or globe help you estimate the latitude of places on the Earth, by showing you where a few exact latitudes are.


What are tools for measuring of length?

Tools for measuring lengths are : Screw gauge, vernier calipers,drafter, ruler ,circular scale ,etc . These tools are used for measuring lengths according to their different least counts.

What shows all lines of latitude and all lines of longitude?

Nothing can do that, because there is no official standard set of 'lines', so there'sno limit to the number of 'lines' that can be defined and printed on a map or globe.If you look at a few different maps or globes, you'll notice that some have morelines on them and some have fewer than others have.The mapping software that I use can print a 'line' on the computer map every two secondsof angle if I want to see them. That would mean 324,000 latitude lines and 648,000longitude lines on the Earth. And that would still not be 'all' of them, because I couldzoom down and draw another line between any pair of them.Can you tell me how many lengths there are on a ruler ? Not marks, but lengths ?There may be only a small number of marks, but there are a lot of lengths that endbetween the marks. However many different lengths there are on a ruler, there arethe same number of latitudes on Earth. And the same number of longitudes too.Hint: It's a very big number.


How many latitudes in northern hemisphere?

The same as the number of different lengths on a 3-foot ruler. Or, for that matter, on a 1-foot ruler. The number is infinite. If you name two latitudes, then I can always name another one that's between yours, no matter how close together yours are. Don't be fooled by the latitude 'lines' that you see on some maps and globes. That's certainly not the only latitudes there are, any more than the marks on a ruler are the only possible lengths.


How do you read an engineering scale?

Cache line is a measure of its length is divided into equal parts. With a ruler to draw lines to direct and accurate. ruler are made with different line lengths. ruler is an important tool in technical drawing.


What is the diffreference between a ruler and a straightedge?

A ruler is usually graduated so that it can be used to measure lengths. A straight edge is just that: it has no marking to help you measure lengths.


What volume cannot be measured by a ruler?

A ruler has length and therefore measures lengths not volumes.


How are a ruler a yardstick and a measuring tape the same how are they different?

A ruler usually measures 1 foot, but can also be 2, 3, 4 or 6 feet. I have all of those . A yardstick only measures exactly 3 feet. A Tape measure comes in many lengths from 3 to 500 feet. I have 8 tapes, all of different lengths.


How do you find the lengths of a rhombus?

A rhombus is a 4 sided quadrilateral whose sides are equal in lengths and can be measured with a ruler.


How is a ruler different that a straight edge?

Nothing, a straightedge is a ruler. Straightedge is just another name for a ruler. You can also draw straight lines with things such as the side of a folder or anything else with a flat edge.


What are the little lines on the ruler?

They are called millimeter lines.
