The Paris meridian is a meridian line running through the Paris Observatory in Paris, France (now longitude 2°20′14.03″ east.) Until 1911 it was a rival system to the Greenwich one. I do not know what the gaps were between meridians. Somewhere on the Internet there must be an answer to this.

Not as complicated as I thought it would be, but still will need to watch a few more times to get it to stick. But it seems manageable now. Side note, about 10 +/- years ago, I was in Arizona for a rodeo and drew a bull named Uluru. Never got the chance to ask the stock contractor what exactly that meant. All I knew it was Australian and I had been curious ever since. Why that insignificant memory stuck around for this long is beyond me.

It confuses me that the horizontal lines measure north to south when they run east to west and the vertical lines measure east to west when they run north to south..why is that?

@juang614 2 жыл бұрын

Just imagine you slice a sphere along the Equator line. You’d end with a top (north) and a bottom (south) half. They run horizontal, but create vertical divisions, and same idea applies for longitude lines. So if you keep slicing the top half, the way to identity them is to think about the vertical increments.

This is why the earth is not flat

@Geographicvideos 11 жыл бұрын

It has nothing to do with speed.It is about location. (unless you are referring to how fast the Earth rotates) It is more to do with how lines of longitude, the Earth has been divided into 360 meridians (representing the 360 degrees of the earth). That is 180 degrees east plus 180 degrees west. Every 15 degrees longitude represents one hour. 15 degrees x 24 hours =360 degrees. 24 hours in a day.Each lines of Each of those meridians is further divided up into 60 minutes.

TheDerpy Kid So basically the Latitude is a sideways measurement starting at the equator, measuring north and south. The Longitude is a vertical measurement at the prime meridian, measuring east and west. When writing the latitude and longitude, write degrees north or south for latitude first, and then degrees east or west for longitude after. I'm so sorry for the late reply and I hope it helps... its pretty hard to explain as you'd need a paper for it. Good luck on that test Hun ❤️

That depends on how precise you need your coordinates to be. If you are talking just degrees it would be just 0 degrees. But if you are using degrees, minutes and seconds then you are likely to have a precise location in either the northern or southern hemisphere.
