D'Long Practice Worksheet
Longitude - Difference of Longitude
Name: __________________________ Class/Batch: ______________ Date: ______________
Convention: Express D'Long as E or W and use the shorter difference (not exceeding 180 degrees). The worksheet
contains a mix of ordinary problems and selected crossings of 000 degrees and 180 degrees E/W.
Section 1: Find D'Long
From the given longitude to the given longitude, calculate D'Long and name it E or W.
