east–west position on Earth

A measure that shows how far a place on Earth is to the east or west of the main line called the Prime Meridian, usually in degrees.

वापर नमुना: the longitude of [a place]
सामान्य चूक:
Learners often confuse 'longitude' with 'latitude'. Remember: latitude is north or south, longitude is east or west. Another common mistake is the spelling *longtitude*, which is incorrect; the correct spelling is *longitude* without a second 't'.
समानार्थी शब्द
geographic coordinate (More general; can refer to latitude or longitude, not just east–west position.) | meridian (Refers to a line of constant longitude, not the numerical value of longitude itself.)
विरुद्धार्थी शब्द
latitude (Measures north–south position instead of east–west position.)

east–west position in the sky

In astronomy, a measure that shows how far a planet, star, or other body in the sky is to the east or west of a fixed line in the sky, usually in degrees.

वापर नमुना: the celestial longitude of [a body]
सामान्य चूक:
Learners may not realize that 'longitude' in astronomy is similar to geographic longitude but uses a different reference line in the sky. It should not be confused with 'right ascension', which is a different but related coordinate.
समानार्थी शब्द
ecliptic longitude (More specific; refers to longitude measured along the ecliptic plane.)
विरुद्धार्थी शब्द
celestial latitude (Measures north–south position relative to the reference plane, rather than east–west.)

उदाहरणे
  • The comet's celestial longitude made it easy to locate with a small telescope.
  • Astrologers often refer to the ecliptic longitude of the planets in their charts.
  • The star catalogue lists right ascension and celestial longitude for each object.
  • Seasonal changes are related to the Sun's changing ecliptic longitude.
  • The probe transmitted its approximate latitude and longitude relative to Mars's equator.
शिकणाऱ्यांसाठी उदाहरणे
  • In astronomy, we also talk about longitude in the sky.
  • The planet's longitude changed as it moved across the night sky.
  • Astronomers write down the longitude of stars to record their position.
  • The Sun’s longitude on the ecliptic is different in each season.
