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.
Senior Fellow in Electrical Engineering. The longitude of a point on earth is the angle, east or west, between that point. and a certain reference line on the earth. If you take a globe or a map and draw a line through all the points that have. exactly the same longitude, the line you get is the meridian of that longitude.The reference line is the meridian of zero longitude, called the Prime Meridian.atitude is the angle north or south between a place and the equator. Longitude is the angle east or west between the same place and the Prime Meridian. With only those two numbers, you can nail down any point on the Earth. 1 person found this useful.
