Question

♥♥Holla!♥♥

The distance from equator to pole is 1/4 of earth.

The globe is 360-degree. It is divided into two equal halves and distance of the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere is 1/4 of 360⁰

What do you mean by this?? I don't understand 1/4 of 360-degree they indicating 360 degrees as latitude or longitude and also the globe is 360-degree what they mean by it (latitude or longitude)??

What they're trying to say in this above paragraph please explain me clearly.

Answer 1

Explanation:

ANSWER:-

We know that 1/4 of 360° is 90°.

1st statement says that the equator is the perpendicular of earth.

Equator- In detail

We know that equator is 0° in latitude. So if we calculate the angles we can see that it is exactly 90 degree from North as well as well as south.

In detail , Equator is located exactly at 90 degree angle from north pole and south pole of Earth in terms of Latitude.

This is referred to Latitude of Earth.

Latitude- What is it?

These are imaginary lines running from East to west side of Earth.

Longitude:

These are imaginary lines running north to south.

More to Know:-

• Prime Meridian - Greenwich
• GMT of the time all around the world is taken with respect to time in Greenwich
• Greenwich is located near London
• Ujjain in early years was also considered Prime Meridian but did not match any angle
• Standard Meridian in India is 82 1/2degree
• This passes through Mirzapur in Uttar Pradesh
• These are also followed by SrinLanka and Nepal to form Uniformity with India.

Answer 2

Answer:

• The distance from equator to pole is 1/4 of earth because, We know that our Earth is 360° .

• We know that the equator is 0° this lies at the middle of the Earth bete the poles and half of 360° would be divided into 90° and this would be 1/4th of 360°.

• So divided 360° would be 90° form both the poles that Northern Hemisphere till Southern Hemisphere form the Equator.

Even if you calculate like this you get 1/4 of 360°.

• Your doubt is that If its divided into two equal halves and distance of the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere is 1/4 of 360°

• We know (360°) = 1 times of our Globe

• So multiplying 360° with 1 time and dividing it with 4 we get 90° that's the half, and this together form 1/4 of the earth.

⇒ $\bold{\dfrac{360 \times 1}{4}}$

⇒ ${\sf{\underline{\boxed{\green{\sf{90}}}}}}$

HENCE PROVED!!! This is also said to be 'Latitude of Earth'.
