Latitudes, longitudes, and elevations of our latter-day temples
Latitudes, longitudes, and elevations of our dedicated latter-day temples. The first list shows the latitudes, in increasing numbers. The second list is of longitudes, in increasing numbers. The third list is of elevations, in increasing numbers. The last temple added to the lists was the Okinawa Japan Temple (#186), dedicated on November 12, 2023 by Elder Gary E. Stevenson of the Quorum of the Twelve. The equator of the earth marks the zero degrees latitude line. The royal observatory in Greenwich, England marks the zero degrees longitude line and the 180 degree longitude line runs through the Fijian islands. Elevations are measured by the distance above sea-level.
