Question

True or false The distance represented by a degree of longitude is greatest at the equator?

Answer 1

True.

The distance at equator is greatest.

at any other latitude the distance reduces and is called Departure.

The value of departure = Degree of longitude x Cos(Latitude)

Answer 2

true.

Answer 3

Think about how the lines of longitude run:  they converge at the poles and spread out at the equator.  Consequently, therefore, ergo, thus, hence they represent more distance at the equator.

Answer.  True

Answer 4

true if i understand the question correctly

Answer 5

The distance between degrees is greatest at the equator and gets smaller as the longitude lines approach the poles.
