05. Globe Latitudes And Longitudes
245578
The total number of longitudes are ________:
1 360
2 180
3 90
4 None of these
Explanation:
360 The western most longitude is 180W and the eastern most longitude is 180E; incidentally, 180W and 180E are the same longitudes. This is called the 180th meridian and also the international date line. Therefore, the total number of latitudes is 180; and the total number of longitudes are 360.

Approximately how many kilometres are represented by 1\(^{\1}\) of latitude?
1 421km
2 111km
3 91km
4 211km
Explanation:
111km Each degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles (111 kilometers) apart. The range varies (due to the earth's slightly ellipsoid shape) from 68.703 miles (110.567 km) at the equator to 69.407 (111.699 km) at the poles. This is convenient because each minute (1/ 60th of a degree) is approximately one [nautical] mile. As you approach the poles, the distance represented by one degree of latitude stays, more the less, the same at 111 kilometers.
