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.
Darron can I pick your brains again. The Paris Meridian runs close by the village of Renne le Chateau in the Longuedoc. What is the closest parallel to Renne le Chateau? And did the Paris Meridian have a different set of parallels from Greenwich?
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 ❤️
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.
Thank you I think we can shall may ( or any suitable helping verb ) understand the importance of studying observing the changes in earth s latitudes and longitudes............flattening and bulging of areas and how our activities like deforestation hurting women ( or men ) can affect its rotation and deviation between magnetic and geometric poles
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?
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.
Thanks so much. The videos have been helping me and that of some colleagues in Ghana Geographers Association. We are really grateful to the administrators.
Perhaps those lines are merely a way of depicting the Interior Structure of Earth, a Sphere that was constructed. At the North and South Poles there would need be a circular ring to support all said latitudinal edifices. Like the bottom of Earths Lunar Satellite, you can see this correlation.
But there are also numbers after the 60 minutes numbers as like the coordinates of this airfield in the caucasus region: 41.55.54 N 041.51.33 E How to get those last numbers? Are those the seconds?
Can anybody out there tell me where the old Paris Meridian touches 42 N? Somewhere in the Pyrenees I think - a exact location would be much appreciated.
No, sorry. Despite the use of minutes and seconds, this isn't about "time". It's all about how a single degree is divided further into smaller units, i.e. minutes and seconds. 1 degree = 60 minutes = 360 seconds.
He says latitude is read first, but in his example of 29°58 minutes 45.03 seconds North he is starting with longitude... wtf? I mean you can start either way, you will end up in the same place, but his statement then creates confusion.
The video is correct. A latitude is 0-90 degrees to North/South, while longitude is 0-180 degrees to West/East. See this pic: cdn.britannica.com/63/2063-004-606AA722/Perspective-globe-grid-parallels-meridians-longitude-latitude.jpg CMIIW
@@imambungo ? You might either have to reread what I said, or I might have to rewatch the video because that is what I heard. Said latitude is read first, but then goes ahead and reads longitude first in his example. We already understand there is a southern and northern hemisphere divided horizontally, and a western and eastern hemisphere divided vertically. 90 up, 90 down. 180 left, 180 right.
We're dividing degrees of latitude or longitude in 60 minutes, and the each minutes to 60 second Imagine a scale, let's say meter scale, then it'll have 1 meter which is divided into 100 cm which is further divided into mm, like that This is done so to locate a place or a person on earth surface in very precise manner, let's say there is a person between the space of 5° N and 6° N, how we'll locate him ? That's why we use minutes and seconds, not only this, there are 3 formats that are used majorly, dms(degree, minutes, sec), dm(degree, minutes), dd(decimal degree), I find decimal degree easy and more useful
My Notes from this video First ever system of finding locations via longitude and latitude was done by Greek Philosopher Hipparchus Widely used in GPS systems and Geographical information system Latitude = Horizontal lines; North/South; 0-90 degrees max Lines of latitudes = parallels Longitude = Vertical Lines; West/East; 0-180 degrees max Lines of longitude = meridians Equator = 0 degrees Latitude North Pole = 90 degrees N Latitude South Pole = 90 degrees S Latitude Either North/South Pole & Equator form a 90 degree Angle North of equator is Northern Hemisphere South of equator is Southern Hemisphere North of equator at 23 degrees N is Tropic of Cancer (Northern Hemisphere) South of equator at 23 degrees S is Tropic of Capricorn (Southern Hemisphere) Between these two is a place known as the “Tropics” 66 degrees N/66 degrees S of the Equator is the Arctic and Antarctic circle The area between the Tropic of Cancer and Arctic circle is called the “Temperate Zone” West of Prime Meridian is the Western Hemisphere East of Prime Meridian is the Eastern Hemisphere Degrees of Latitude and Longitude have been divided into minutes and seconds 60 minute in each degree and each minute into 60 seconds
I'm in grade 9 and my teacher doesn't even teach us this. This is important to learn. In geography my teacher teaches us kindergarten level things. She asks questions on test like, "which city has a longer name? Which country has a larger are? How many mountains are in this area?"
Curiosity question: Why aren't the coordinates read in an (x,y) fashion like a mathematical graph? Meaning Longitude, Latitude vs the actual way it's read?
I'm trying to figure out how to input GPS coordinates from a GPS device into Google maps properly. I have coordinates that should be somewhere in Australia, but every time I put them in it fails. East 17553.6134, South 3814.2696 any suggestions?
+Darron Gedge's Geography Channel great thank you! What happens in the case with a country exactly on the equator or meridian....? For example Kisumu, Kenya.... this is a tricky one!
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.

Incorrect vocabulary: 'Horizontal' means along surface, 'vertical' means up and down along the gravitational gradient.
Really do need to explain how we find the degrees and which way do we read from the starting point. Confusing explanation for a beginner.

My Notes from this video
First ever system of finding locations via longitude and latitude was done by Greek Philosopher Hipparchus
Widely used in GPS systems and Geographical information system
Latitude = Horizontal lines; North/South; 0-90 degrees max
Lines of latitudes = parallels
Longitude = Vertical Lines; West/East; 0-180 degrees max
Lines of longitude = meridians
Equator = 0 degrees Latitude
North Pole = 90 degrees N Latitude
South Pole = 90 degrees S Latitude
Either North/South Pole & Equator form a 90 degree Angle
North of equator is Northern Hemisphere
South of equator is Southern Hemisphere
North of equator at 23 degrees N is Tropic of Cancer
(Northern Hemisphere)
South of equator at 23 degrees S is Tropic of Capricorn
(Southern Hemisphere)
Between these two is a place known as the “Tropics”
66 degrees N/66 degrees S of the Equator is the Arctic and Antarctic circle
The area between the Tropic of Cancer and Arctic circle is called the “Temperate Zone”
West of Prime Meridian is the Western Hemisphere
East of Prime Meridian is the Eastern Hemisphere
Degrees of Latitude and Longitude have been divided into minutes and seconds
60 minute in each degree and each minute into 60 seconds
