There are an infinite number of possible meridians of longitude, and every one of
them has the same nominal length . . . half of the Earth's polar circumference.

The distance between the longitudes decreases towards?
The north and south poles or away from the equator. At the poles the distances between lines of longitude are zero.
What is the latitude and longitude for equator?
The equator is a latitude line, so it has no specific longitude. The equator is at 0o north or south. There are many points on the equator, so every point on the equator has a different longitude.
What is an imaginary line running halfway between the north pole and south pole this line is located at 0 degrees longitude?
The imaginary line at zero degrees longitude is the Prime Meridian. The imaginary line halfway between the poles is the Equator. The Equator is zero degrees latitude.
Is the longitude north or south of which imaginary line?
Latitude is measured north and south of the equator.
When moving north or south from the equator what does the lines of longitude do?
Any two lines of longitude you choose get closer togetheras they proceed from the equator to the poles.

What is the difforence between longitude and latitude?
Longitude measures the east-west angle between your location and the Prime Meridian.Latitude measures the north-south angle between your location and the equator.
What are the Lines north and south of equator?
Lines of longitude's
Does one degree of longitude equal 270 km?
The distance represented by one degree of longitude varies according to distance from the equator. That's because the meridians of longitude are equally distributed around the equator but all converge to a single point at the north and south poles. The greatest distance between any two meridians of longitude, then, is the distance between the points where they cross the equator. Along the equator, one degree of longitude covers about 111.1 kilometers.
What is an imaginary line running halfway between the north pole and south pole this line is located at 0 degrees longitude?
The imaginary line at zero degrees longitude is the Prime Meridian. The imaginary line halfway between the poles is the Equator. The Equator is zero degrees latitude.
How mesure the degree of longitude?
we can measured the longitude by north pole and south pole by equator
What lines measure distances north or south of the equator?
Longitude
Is the longitude north or south of which imaginary line?
Latitude is measured north and south of the equator.
When moving north or south from the equator what does the lines of longitude do?
Any two lines of longitude you choose get closer togetheras they proceed from the equator to the poles.
What is meant by longitude latitude and meridian?
-- Longitude is the angle east or west between a point on the Earth's surface and the Prime Meridian. -- Latitude is the angle north or south between a point and the equator. -- A meridian is an imaginary line between the north and south poles and through all the points on Earth that have the same one single longitude.
As you move north or south from the equator the lines of longitude become what to one another?
closer
