Is longitude worth 15 or 10 degrees? My teacher told me that it equals 10 degrees but the map on the assignment says it’s 15 degrees, so I’m not sure who’s mistaken-

Step-by-step explanation:

??????

one degree is always one degree. no matter in what direction it is going.

a full circle is 360 degrees all around.

a full ball is 360 degrees horizontally around and 360 degrees vertically around.

so, I am not sure what you are talking about. but longitude and latitude are both worth the same, and a single degree in either way is worth the same.

longitude goes east/ west, latitude goes north/ south on the ball we call Earth.
