Greenwich meridian, an imaginary line, last established in 1851, used to indicate zero degrees longitude. It passes through Greenwich, London, and ends at the North and South poles. Because it indicated zero degrees longitude, it was also known as the pr
- Formerly map makers contented themselves with placing upon their maps a linear scale of miles, deduced from the central meridian or the equator. They now add the proportion which these units of length have to nature, or state how many of these units are contained within some local measure ...
showing better information on Asian areas than had been available theretofore. InBaghdadastronomers used the compass long before Europeans, studied the obliquity of the ecliptic, and measured a part of the Earth’s meridian. Their sexagesimal (based on 60) system has dominated cartography since, ...

In the Qing Dynasty and Ming Dynasty, the Palace Museum, also known as the Forbidden City, was a royal palace with more than 70 palaces and an area of 720,000 square meters. From 2021, tourists can only enter the Forbidden City through the Meridian Gate....
The main features of azimuthal map projections are straight meridian lines, radiating out from a central point, parallels that are circular around the central point, and equidistant parallel spacing. Light paths in three different categories (orthographic, stereographic, and gnomonic) can also be us...
datatypes is covered extensively elsewhere, but for now consider that geometry data is defined in a flat (2D Euclidean) Cartesian plane, whereas geography data is projected onto the spheroidal Earth surface using a spherical coordinate system (datum, projec...
