âWe hoped to receive counsel from our uncle at Hyde,â added Ambrose. Perhaps it is hard to receive it in such a way, but I can have it. I forgive you, if you are sorry for the fault, and my arms are ready to receive you. All laws to secure these ends will receive my best efforts for their enforcement. On his return he addressed, by their request, the people gathered to receive him. In the hour of triumph the government was doomed to receive a stunning blow.
The vertical longitude lines are also known as meridians. They converge at the poles and are widest at the equator (about 69 miles or 111 km apart). Zero degrees longitude is located at Greenwich, England (0Â°). The degrees continue 180Â° east and 180Â° west where they meet and form the International Date Line in the Pacific Ocean.
I can see that the lines of longitude get closer and closer together towards the poles! At the equator, the distance between 15 and 30 degrees W longitude is quite a lot! But as you follow those two longitude lines towards the poles, the distance between them shrinks down to zero! All the lines of longitude actually meet at the poles! So really, 'longitude' has no meaning when you're at the poles! I don't think I'm gonna go to the poles!
