The Prime Meridian (of 0 degrees west or east) run north-south through Greenwich in London, UK. Lines that run north-south that are parallel to the Prime Meridian (but which meet at the poles) and which describe the distance west or east of this line are called lines of Longitude.
Lines of Latitude describe the distance north or south of the equator.

∙ 12y agoLongitude lines run north ans south and latitude lines run west to east an easy way to remember is longitude has the word long in it ..so you know the those lines are vertical lines and that the latitude lines are the horizontal lines
The Prime Meridian is the line made out of all the points on earth that have
zero longitude and every possible latitude.

What are the dividing lines of earth?
The equator divides the earth by north and south, and the prime meridian from which longitude east and west are measured..
What is the imaginary line that runs east to west?
The imaginary line is called the Prime Meridian.
What lines of longitude are measured east andwest of the what imaginary line?
prime meridian
Lines of longitude are measured north and south of the equator?
No, that's latitude. Longitude is measured east or west of the Prime Meridian, which runs through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England.
Do latitude lines tell you the distance east or west of the prime meridian?
No, lines of latitude parallel the equator and never cross each other. Whereas lines of longitude run north/south and intersect at both poles. The Prime Meridian is, by the way, a line of longitude.
What is the north-south line from which all other north-south lines are measured?
The Prime Meridian, which runs through Greenwich, England.
What are the dividing lines of earth?
The equator divides the earth by north and south, and the prime meridian from which longitude east and west are measured..
Are meridians of longitude measured north and south of the prime meridian?
They are measured east and west of the Prime Meridian. They run north-south across the globe from the North Pole to the South Pole.
What is the imaginary line that runs east to west?
The imaginary line is called the Prime Meridian.
What lines of longitude are measured east andwest of the what imaginary line?
prime meridian
Lines of longitude are measured north and south of the equator?
No, that's latitude. Longitude is measured east or west of the Prime Meridian, which runs through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England.
Do latitude lines tell you the distance east or west of the prime meridian?
No, lines of latitude parallel the equator and never cross each other. Whereas lines of longitude run north/south and intersect at both poles. The Prime Meridian is, by the way, a line of longitude.
What is the starting lines for measuring latitude and longitude?
Latitude is an angle measured north or south from the equator. Longitude is an angle measured east or west from the Prime Meridian
What is the importance of the prime meridian?
It is just the reference for international time.
What are north south lines on a map that shows distance from the prime meridian?
Lines of longitude
What is longitude passes through equator?
Lines of Latitude run east and west (aka the Equator which is zero degrees latitude) and are measured north and south of the equator. Lines of longitude run north and south and are measured east and west from the Prime Meridian in Greenwhich, England.
How is the Prime Meridian measured-lines of latitude or longitude?
The Prime Meridian is a line of longitude. It's the line made up of every point on earth whose longitude is zero.
