The position of a place north or south of the equator is described
in terms of its latitude. Since we're talking about the surface of
a sphere, latitude is an angle, and its value is given in angle
measure.
Any unit of angle is fine ... degrees, radians, grads, etc., and if
you're given an angle in one unit, you can always easily change
it to a unit that you like better ... but 'degrees' has been the unit
used most often for latitude, and longitude too, practically since
the whole system was invented a few hundred years ago.
For parts of an angle smaller than a whole degree, 1/60 of a
degree (minutes) and 1/3600 of a degree (seconds) were used
traditionally for the first couple hundred years. But that ponderous,
inconvenient system is rapidly giving way now to plain old decimal
degrees, probably because those are easier for the computer to handle.
Answer:
Terrestrial planets
Explanation:
There are two types of planets:
- The inner planets or terrestrial planets
- The outer planets or Jovian planets.
The outer planets are gas giants and are made of huge mounds of gases. These planets are Jupiter, Neptune, Uranus and Saturn. They all have satellites revolving round them.
The terrestrial planets are small rock masses. They are mercury, venus, earth and mars. Earth has one satellites and Mars has two satellites.
The asteroid belt seperates the Jovian and terrestrial planets. Beyond the Jovian planets lies the Kuiper Belt Objects or KBOs.
