What is the latitude and longitude extent of Canada?
56.1304° N, 106.3468° W
Canada/Coordinates
What is the approximate range of latitudes and longitudes that Canada covers?
For the land mass of Canada, latitudes range from about 42oN to 83oN and longitudes range from approximately 53° W to 141° W .
What is the coordinate system for Canada?
Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) uses the North American Datum 1983 (NAD83) as its geodetic reference system. As a map user, this is something you need to know, especially if you use GPS receivers, because it will modify the coordinates you will use to position yourself on the map.
What latitude is Toronto Canada?
43.6532° N, 79.3832° W
Toronto/Coordinates
What is the latitudinal and longitudinal extent of Andhra Pradesh?
15.9129° N, 79.7400° E
Andhra Pradesh/Coordinates
Which Meridian is the standard meridian of India?
82°30’E
– Hence, time along the Standard Meridian of India (82°30’E) passing through Mirzapur (in Uttar Pradesh) is taken as the standard time for the whole country.
What projection does Canada use?
The Lambert conformal conic map projection is widely used for general maps of Canada at small scales and is the most common map projection used at Statistics Canada.
What is Canada’s land area?
3.855 million mi²
Canada/Area
Total area: 9,984,670 km2, the second-largest country in the world. Area north of the treeline: 2,728,800 km2, over 27% of Canada’s total area. Land border: 8,890-km border with the United States, the longest international border in the world.
Where is Canada located in latitude and longitude?
Canada is located at latitude 56.130366 and longitude -106.346771. It is part of America and the northern hemisphere. The geographic coordinate system enables any place in the world to be located using its latitude and longitude.
What are the longitudinal and latitudinal extent of India?
Longitudinal and Latitudinal extent The latitudinal extent of India from the north end Kashmir to south end Kanniyakumari is 37°6′N to 8°4′N The longitudinal extent of India from west end Gujarat to east end Arunachal Pradesh is 68°7′E to 97°25′E. On calculating both of these extents we get to that these are approximately of 30°.
Which is the angular distance east of the prime meridian?
Therefore, latitude is the angular distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. Lines of longitude run from pole to pole, crossing the equator at right angles. All lines of longitude are equal in length. Each line of longitude also is one half of a great circle.
Longitude lines run north-south and mark the position east-west of a point. Therefore, latitude is the angular distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. Lines of longitude run from pole to pole, crossing the equator at right angles.
