The North-South lines, forming half circles between the two poles are meridians of longitude, which are of the same length, unlike the parallels of latitude, that are all parallel to the equator and whose perimeter decreases as the increasing ditance from the equator.
No because first of all, lines of longitude extend to the east and west of the equator, therefore they do not extend from the north to the south pole.
yes. i always thing of longituge lines as long lines so up and down (north and south)!
You're thinking of the International Date Line and the Prime Meridian.

no
Lines of longitude.
Yes.
There's no particular set or system of lines that circle the globe north and south.However, the imaginary semi-circular lines that join the north and south polesare the meridians of longitude. Each of them spans half of the globe.
Latitude and LongitudeLatitude is the lines that go from east to west, and longitude from north to south.
lines of latitude are parallels and lines of longitude are meridians. latitude lines are circles around the earth running east west (like equator) longitude lines run north - south and they meet at two spots, the north pole and the south pole. Meridians also determine the time at a location on the earth.
Lines of longitude.
Yes.
The lines used to measure distances north and south of the equator are latitude lines. They include the equator (0 degrees latitude) and equidistant circles between the equator and the poles. Latitude lines represent the surface points having the same angle from the equator, and planes perpendicular to the Earth's north-south axis.

The lines that run north and south "or long ways" are longitude lines. East and west are latitude lines.

we have textbooks
These are circles of latitude, rather than "lines".They are, in order from north pole to south pole:Arctic CircleTropic of CancerEquatorTropic of CapricornAntarctic Circle
