What do lines of latitude do as they get closer to the poles?

As lines of latitude get closer to the poles, they get shorter in length and converge towards a point at the poles. This is because the Earth is a sphere, and the lines of latitude represent circles around the Earth. The lines of latitude are farthest apart at the equator and gradually come together towards the poles.


Are lines of latitude perpendicular parallel or intersecting?

Lines of latitude are horizontal and run parallel to the poles


Which lines meet at the poles latitude or longitude?

longitude


Do the circles formed by the lines of latitude get smaller as they get closer to the North and South Poles?

Yes, the circles formed by the lines of latitude get smaller as they get closer to the North and South Poles. This is because the lines of latitude are parallel to each other, so as they approach the poles, they shrink in size until they reach a point at the poles themselves.


What lines measure the distances from either side of equator to the poles?

Latitude lines


Is it true that the lines of latitude called meridians never touch?

No, this statement is false. Meridians are lines of longitude that converge at the poles, meaning they touch at the poles. Lines of latitude, however, like the equator, never intersect and are always parallel to each other.


Do lines of latitude divide the globe into things called poles?

No they do not


Where the lines of latitude meet?

At the North and South Poles of the Earth.


What is the names of the lines that pass through the poles?
