LONGITUDES AND LATITUDES | Introduction.

Lines of latitude run East & West or horizontal but measure distance North & South of the Equator—vertically. The equator is labeled as zero degrees latitude. The greatest amount of latitude is 90 degrees at the North or South poles. We can then label our equator as 0° and our North and South poles as 90°. These lines of latitude are parallel to the equator and are even referred to as “parallels” or “parallels of latitude”.

Moving to lines of longitude, they run perpendicular to lines of latitude. That is, longitude lines run North and South but measure East and West of zero degrees longitude which is a line called the Greenwich Meridian or Prime Meridian. This arbitrary north/south line was marked by the British in the 17th century and runs through a town just outside of London called Greenwich.

Thanks Tambuwal. I suppose this is an introductory class, please do well to explain your steps, that includes why you added the angular difference instead of subtracting.

[alaladedamilare]

Honestly as a student it helped a lot sir, your video is underrated

[chidiebeleuzoma-awunor]

I went through so many videos in the name of finding why they added 'cos' to the formula. I had already given up until I found this video.
Thank you for being so straight to the point and understandable.

I can further my mathematics to the higher scale under one condition!! That is you being my tutor.

[cyrilogban]

Sir, you have been a great help to me ever since I watched one of your video on Calculus on Vidmate. I never knew you have a YouTube channel. That's by the way, you just earned a subscriber 😍 thanks so much sir🙏

Watching the video from Livingstone, Zambia.

Sir my name is joycy my problems is this topic anyway they did it at geography class chai your lesson is cool I love it

[lanomusambazi-txeg]

What is the radius and circumference of the earth? I want to know how to derive these two.

[lanomusambazi-txeg]

How do we find the shortest distance of three points on the same latitude but on different longitudes?

[RobertSmith-wjzf]

I absolutely love your channel! Perhaps you can help with a problem I have not seen in your videos.

I have found a formula for doing this but I just can’t seem to get it to work. So I’ll ask you here in a general form:

Given a point A with latitude x and longitude y with distance d to point B on a bearing of b, how do I calculate the latitude and longitude of point B?

Distance is great circle distance.

If you could kindly point me in the correct direction I would be very grateful.

[hawawubalogun]

That's a great explanation sir
Very grateful for that expantiation.
Pls sir i noticed that your voice is not really loud or maybe it's my phone speaker..pls sir would u please increase the volume when..maybe editing the video Incase u can't stress yourself out when shooting the tutorial.
Thanks once again sir.

Why did you use the value of theta as 60°_the common latitude sir?

[robinsonrodriquez]

What happens to the length of a degree as one nears the North and South?

[kibeterick]

Sir, let me ask u humbly which country are u from???

[chibi_lyfe]

Thank you sir. But, the invite link is reset 😭😭
