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.
Longitude 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
zero longitude and every possible latitude.
Lines of Longitude mark distances east and west of the Prime Meridian.
Degrees or lines of Longitude.
Distance East or West of the prime meridian is measured in degrees of longitude.
Longitudinal lines run north and south.
Longitude is the angular distance of a point's meridian from the Prime (Greenwich) Meridian.
The equator divides the earth by north and south, and the prime meridian from which longitude east and west are measured..
The imaginary line is called the Prime Meridian.
prime meridian
No, that's latitude. Longitude is measured east or west of the Prime Meridian, which runs through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England.
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.
The Prime Meridian, which runs through Greenwich, England.
The equator divides the earth by north and south, and the prime meridian from which longitude east and west are measured..
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.
The imaginary line is called the Prime Meridian.

Latitude is an angle measured north or south from the equator. Longitude is an angle measured east or west from the Prime Meridian
It is just the reference for international time.
Lines of longitude
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.
The Prime Meridian is a line of longitude. It's the line made up of every point on earth whose longitude is zero.
