WHERE THE FOLLOWING COORDINATES ARE LOCATED
(60 ° W, 15 ° N)
(120⁰ W, 45⁰ N)
(30⁰ E, 30⁰ N)
(90⁰E, 30⁰ N)
(90⁰ W, 30⁰ N)
(120⁰ W, 45⁰ S)
-Which are on the same meridian
Which are the same length.
Which have the same latitude.
Which see the same constellations at different times.
Which see different constellations at the same time.
Let us name the co ordinates for simplicity.
A = (60 ° W, 15 ° N)
B = (120⁰ W, 45⁰ N)
C = (30⁰ E, 30⁰ N)
D = (90⁰E, 30⁰ N)
E = (90⁰ W, 30⁰ N)
F = (120⁰ W, 45⁰ S)
The position of the points are taken from a map.
A = North Atlantic ocean
B = Oregon, USA
C = Matrouh Egypt
D = Tibet, China
E = LA, USA
F = South pacific ocean
a) The meridian of longitude is given in the part before the comma.
We can see that B and F have the same longitude.
b) NO points given here have the same length between.
c) Latitude is given as the second number after the comma
Here, C,D and E have the same latitude.
d) The same constellation is observed at different times of a same day for the same latitude.
So, same star will be observed at different times for C,D and E.
e) Different stars are observed at the same time for the same longitude (note: There is a small problem with the way this question is framed, but this is what the person meant)
So, different stars are observed at the same time for B and F.
