-- If the line is straight through the center of the Earth, then it's
the Earth's axis of rotation.
-- If the line is marked on the Earth's surface and stops at both poles,
then it's a meridian of longitude.

Imaginary lines used to measure distances north and south of the Equator are lines of?
Lines of latitude are imaginary lines used to measure distances north and south of the Equator or 0 degrees.
What imaginary line goes around the earth from north to south?
The lines that run north and south are called meridians of longitude. (The north and south poles are the ends of every meridian, so each one only goes half-way around the globe.)
What are the imaginary parallel lines that run east-west?
Latitude lines, longitude lines run north south
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."
What imaginary lines are numbered in degrees north and south of the equator?
lines of latitude, also known as parallels
What is the difference between a meridian and parallel?
A meridian is a line of longitude running north-south on the Earth's surface, while a parallel is a line of latitude running east-west. Meridians converge at the poles, while parallels are equidistant from each other. Meridians help in determining time zones, while parallels help in measuring distance from the equator.
Imaginary lines that run north and south?
lines of longide
Imaginary lines used to measure distances north and south of the Equator are lines of?
Lines of latitude are imaginary lines used to measure distances north and south of the Equator or 0 degrees.
What are the imaginary lines that measure distance north to south of the equator?
parallel lines, or lines of latitude.
Imaginary lines of measure distances from south and north of the equator?
latitude
What term is used for imaginary lines north and south of the equator?
primemeridean
What imaginary line goes around the earth from north to south?
The lines that run north and south are called meridians of longitude. (The north and south poles are the ends of every meridian, so each one only goes half-way around the globe.)
What are imaginary lines that go through the north pole and south pole called?
longitudinal lines run north/south; Latitudinal lines run east/west
What name is given to the imaginary lines that run north and south?
These are known as lines of longitude or meridians
What are the imaginary parallel lines that run east-west?
Latitude lines, longitude lines run north south
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."
Location north or south of the equator?
Measured by imaginary lines numbered in degrees
