All lines of longitude have the same length. Each one is 1/2 of the earth's polar
circumference ... roughly 12,437.6 miles. (rounded)
A 'meridian' of longitude is a line between the north and south poles.
Every point on it has the same longitude.
North-South
If you travel along a line of longitude from the South Pole, you would travel directly northwards.
Roughly 115 degrees in one direction, 245 degrees in the other direction.
The Prime Meridian is a line of longitude, and it sits at 0 degrees longitude.
The major line of longitude located at 180 degrees longitude is the International Date Line.
Tonga, while physically located in the Western Hemisphere, is actually considered in the Eastern Hemisphere for purposes of calculating the date. The international date line, which normally runs along the 180th line of longitude, swings in an easterly direction around Tonga and then back to the 180th line of longitude.
the longitide line that has the measurement 0degrees is called equator
87.72138 degrees west longitude It's the meridian (the 'line') that runs through my house.
north and south direction (up and down)
the direction that longitude run is 0 the 180 degrees and also east and west
If you travel along a line of longitude from the South Pole, you would travel directly northwards.
Roughly 115 degrees in one direction, 245 degrees in the other direction.
It is a measurement that doesn't have direction, such as distance. A vector has direction
The Prime Meridian is a line of longitude, and it sits at 0 degrees longitude.
Both. every place on earth has both longitude i.e. a point between North and south and latitude a point on a line that points in a westerly and easterly direction.
