What is the units used to measure distances between parallels and between meridians
Vaselesa [24]

<u>Answer:</u>

The units used to measure distances between parallels and between meridians are degrees, minutes, and seconds.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The distance between two closest latitudes or two closest longitudes can only be measured in minutes and seconds because they would be placed only 59 minutes and 59 seconds apart.
