How would you describe the lines of longitude on a map

1 answer:

3 0

Longitude on a map is like vertical<span> mapping lines on Earth which are well known as "meridians". One way to visualize this would be to think of splitting hula-hoops in half, then vertically, up and down, assembling them, with one positioned at the North Pole and one the South. Longitude lines show a numerical way to measure or show how far a location is east or west of the vertical line known as the Prime Meridian. The Prime Meridian runs vertically, north and south, over the British Royal Observatory, located in Greenwich England, from the North Pole to the South Pole.

How are atoms of gas distributed in a container ?

Ksju [112]

Gas particles spread out to fill a container evenly, unlike solids and liquids. The particles move very fast and collide into one another, causing them to diffuse, or spread out, until they are evenly distributed throughout the volume of the container.
