Question

What are Longitudes and how can you use them to calculate?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance between the longitudes are measured in 'degrees of longitude'. There are 360 meridians of longitude because a circle has 360 degrees. Each degree is divided into minutes and minutes into seconds. The Earth takes 24 hours to complete one rotation or to cover 360° of longitudes.

Answer 2

Longitude is a geographic coordinate that specifies the east–west position of a point on the Earth's surface, or the surface of a celestial body. It is an angular measurement, usually expressed in degrees and denoted by the Greek letter lambda. Meridians connect points with the same longitude
