The Equator
Q. When listing the location of a place the degree of longitude is always listed as?
when listing a location of a place the degree of longitude is always listed??? Usually both latitude and longitude are listed. However, you can also give the absolute location of a house or business with its street address and city and state or province.

Q. What is the degree of longitude?
Longitude is measured 180° both east and west of the prime meridian. As aids to locate longitudinal positions on a globe or map, meridians are plotted and drawn from pole to pole where they meet. The distance per degree of longitude at the Equator is about 111.32 km (69.18 miles) and at the poles, 0.
Q. How many degrees are there per line of longitude and latitude?
Lines of latitude and longitude intersect, creating a grid that allows anyone in any location to pinpoint a geographic location. There are 360 degrees of longitude (because meridians make Great Circles around the globe), and there are 180 degrees of latitude.
Q. What is the longitude found at 180 East at 180 West?
Download coordinates as: KML The 180th meridian or antimeridian is the meridian 180° both east and west of the Prime Meridian, with which it forms a great circle dividing the earth into the Western and Eastern Hemispheres.
Q. What is 180 degree longitude called?
International Date Line
Q. Do longitude lines go up to 90 degrees?
Lines of longitude go from zero at the Prime Meridian up to 180 at the International Date Line. The designator of east or west will indicate the relative direction the line of longitude is from the Prime Meridian.
Q. Why there is no higher latitude than 90 degree north and 90 degrees south?
Latitude is the angular distance from the plane of the Equator. Latitude only has to cover 180 degrees, from the North Pole to the South Pole. All circles make a maximum angle of 900 from the plane of the Equator. Therefore the maximum, latitude is 900 N in the Northern hemisphere and 900 S in the Southern Hemisphere.
Q. Which is the longest Meridian?
prime meridian
Q. What is 90 degree north of the equator?
Besides the equator (0°), the North Pole (90°N) and the South Pole (90° S), there are four important parallels of latitudes– (i) Tropic of Cancer (23½° N) in the Northern Hemisphere. (ii) Tropic of Capricorn (23½° S) in the Southern Hemisphere. (iii) Arctic Circle at 66½° north of the equator.
