What is the shortest latitudes at what degree?
The equator is the longest latitude at 0 degrees, while the shortest latitude is the North and South Poles at 90 degrees latitude.
Which of these tells you the distance north or south of the Equator?
Latitude tells how far north or south a place is from the Equator. Longitude tells how far east or west a place is from the Prime Meridian. These can be remembered because Latitude sounds like Ladder and the lines for Latitude are like rungs in a ladder. Also, Longitude has the word Long in it and east to west is "Long."
When listing the location of a place the degree of latitude is always listed where?
its always listed first!
In which directions does a parallel or line of latitude run?
Latitude runs East & West - horizontal lines.Remember this:Longitude is "longitude" ("long" North & South)Latitude is "flatitude"("flat" East & West)
How long is 1 degree for lines of latitude and longitude?
The Earth is not a perfect sphere, and the WGS84 system that we use for degree confluences includes a mathematical model (GRS80) of the Earth as an ellipsoid. Using established GRS80 constants, and the Vincenty Algorithm (PDF document), the distance between degrees of latitude (lines that run east-west) varies from 110.57km (68.71mi) at the equator (0 degrees latitude) to 111.69km (69.40mi) between 89 degrees latitude and the poles. For the purposes of the project, we don't take these variations in the distance between degrees of latitude into account when categorizing degree confluences. Using the same calculation methods, the distance between degrees of longitude (lines that run north-south) varies between 111.32km (69.17mi) at the equator (0 degrees latitude) to 1.95km (1.21mi) at 89 degrees latitude, one degree from the north or south pole. Because the lines of longitude meet at the poles, the distance between degrees of longitude at the poles is zero.
What is the shortest latitudes at what degree?
The equator is the longest latitude at 0 degrees, while the shortest latitude is the North and South Poles at 90 degrees latitude.
What is the longitude and latitude of the Nile river?
It starts at 31 degrees North latitude and ends at 7 degrees south latitude.It ends at 30 degrees north longitude and ends at 30 degrees south longitude.
How long is a degree of latitude at the equator?
60 nm.
What is 43 degree north and 79 degree west?
That is the latitude and longitude of St. Catharines, ON, Canada, just S of Lake Ontario. It can also be expressed as Lat 43, Long -79
How long is each degree latitude at the equator?
60 min.
How long is kiometers in one degree latitude?
One degree of latitude is always approximately 111 kilometers. This is a constant value because the Earth is a sphere.
What types of lines run east and west and measure degree north and south?
Latitude lines. What helps me remember this is the word "latter", which sounds like "latitude". Ladders go up and down, and the lines MEASURE up and down (north and south). Longitude measures left and right (east and west), and can be remembered from the word "long".

What is a trick to help you remember in which direction latitude and longitude?
Latitude lays flat and spiders have long legs
