Question

what is longitudes ? atleast give 5 points​

Answer 1

Answer:

• 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 (λ). Meridians (lines running from pole to pole) connect points with the same longitude.
• The prime meridian, which passes near the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, England, is defined as 0° longitude by convention.
• Positive longitudes are east of the prime meridian, and negative ones are west.

• A location's north–south position along a meridian is given by its latitude, which is approximately the angle between the local vertical and the equatorial plane.

• Longitude is generally given using the geometrical or astronomical vertical.
• This can differ slightly from the gravitational vertical because of small variations in Earth's gravitational field.

Answer 2

Answer: longitudes are imaginary lines that run in semi-circles. They run from west to east.
