Meridians of longitude; parallels of latitude. Remember that meridians are all the same length (20,000 km) and that they meet at the poles. Parallels are, well, parallel, and are different lengths, the longest being the Equator.

Are latitude lines called meridian?
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
Lines of longitude on earth run from due north to due south are called?
These invisible lines that circle the earth and are vertical or running north to south are longitude or meridian lines. These lines are also perpendicular to lines called latitudes that are parallel to the equator.
What is a line of longitude called besides parallel?
Lines of longitude are often called "meridians", but never "parallels". "Parallels" are lines of constant latitude.
What lines connect the North and South pole?
Longitude, longitudinal As opposed to latitude (horizontal lines circling the earth.
What are lines of also longitude called?
Longitude is the best term, but sometimes meridian is used. The line of longitude at zero degrees is the Prime Meridian.
What are imaginary vertical lines called?
longitude lines?

What are the imaginary lines that run north and south across the earth called?
Imaginary lines that run north to south are known as lines of longitude. Longitude lines are the imaginary lines running through the Earth between the North and South Poles. They are arbitrary and used for reference so everyone can know where they are in the world. The lines running north and south are called "meridians" or "lines of longitude."
