write longitudinal and latitdual distance on the earth??
Answers
Answer:
The distance between longitudes at the equator is the same as latitude, roughly 69 miles. At 45 degrees north or south, the distance between is about 49 miles (79 km). The distance between longitudes reaches zero at the poles as the lines of meridian converge at that point.
Explanation:
When we describe the Earth in spherical coordinates it is called Geographic, or Un-projected. The most common system for locating points on the earth is with "Longitudes" and "Latitudes". Both longitude and latitude are angles measured with the center of the earth as an origin. A longitude is an angle from the prime merdian, measured to the east (longitudes to the west are negative). Latitudes measure an angle up from the equator (latitudes to the south are negative)
