Imagine that you are at the center of the earth. You are looking straight out at the equator. The equator is 0 degrees latitude. Straight above your head is the north pole, and it is 90 degrees north latitude. With 0 degrees at the equator and 90 degrees straight up, measure 40 degrees up from the equator, and inscribe a circle on the globe's surface. The circle you make on the globe marks 40 degrees north latitude.
If you mean north latitude, then the point is in the east-central Pacific Ocean,about 1,890 miles due west of the northern California coast.If you mean south latitude, then the point is in the south Pacific Ocean,about 1,320 miles due east of Wellington, New Zealand.
Coordinates mean that you would use north,south,east,west or the longitude and latitude. Example: Debra lives 16 degrees longitude and 45 degrees latitude or Sabrina lives north of Florida west of Georgia i think that's what coordinates mean.
It means that Washington D.C. is located at a latitude of 39 degrees north and a longitude of 77 degrees west. Latitude measures how far north or south a location is from the Equator, while longitude measures how far east or west a location is from the Prime Meridian.
Yes, the North Star (Polaris) can be used to calculate latitude in the northern hemisphere. By measuring the angle between the horizon and the North Star, you can determine your latitude. The angle is equal to your latitude.
If you mean Mexico City, it is in (19°25'57.85'' N 99°07'59.71'' W). However, Mexico the country is pretty big (1,972,550 km2 or 761,606 sq mi) so the exact location would be North America, just south of the United States.
If you mean 38 degrees North latitude and 97 degrees West longitude, Wichita is not far away.
If you mean Arctic, it's about 66 degrees north.
The equator at 0 degrees latitude is the starting point for measuring latitude.
It means something is 30 degrees north latitude of the equator.
If you mean north latitude, then the point is in the east-central Pacific Ocean,about 1,890 miles due west of the northern California coast.If you mean south latitude, then the point is in the south Pacific Ocean,about 1,320 miles due east of Wellington, New Zealand.
The North Star, or Polaris, appears closest to the northern horizon when you are at the equator (0 degrees latitude). As you move towards the North Pole (90 degrees latitude), Polaris will appear higher in the sky.
Coordinates mean that you would use north,south,east,west or the longitude and latitude. Example: Debra lives 16 degrees longitude and 45 degrees latitude or Sabrina lives north of Florida west of Georgia i think that's what coordinates mean.
It means that Washington D.C. is located at a latitude of 39 degrees north and a longitude of 77 degrees west. Latitude measures how far north or south a location is from the Equator, while longitude measures how far east or west a location is from the Prime Meridian.
Mexico. Northwest of Mexico City. The degrees mean how much above the equator and how much west of England.
I think you mean the Tropic of Cancer at 23.5°.
Yes, the North Star (Polaris) can be used to calculate latitude in the northern hemisphere. By measuring the angle between the horizon and the North Star, you can determine your latitude. The angle is equal to your latitude.
The earth is almost spherical. So if you travel north from the equator you are on a circular path (a line of longitude), and distance around a circle is measured in degrees. The north pole is at 90 degrees north (so 60 degrees is two thirse the way). Similarly if you travel east, you are going around a circle parallel to the equator. Zero degrees is traditionally at Greenwich in London, England. So 50 degrees east is 50 degrees around this circle (of latitude). All lines of longitude meet at the poles. All lines of latitude are parallel to the equator (which is zero latitude).
