Each line of latitude (the ones parallel to the Equator) crosses each line of longitude (the north - south lines).

Do any lines of longitude go through the equator?
Longitude lines appear "vertical" and latitude lines appear "horizontal." Every single line of longitude passes through the equator. If you meant to say latitude, then the answer is no. Not a single one (they run parallel).
Do any lines of longitude pass through the equator if yes then what are the names of then and why?
All lines of longitude pass through the Equator.
All lines of longitude meet at the north pole and equator?
All the lines of longitude that meet at the poles are numbered, by degrees, minutes and seconds. Primary among these is the Prime Meridian -- 0 degrees -- and its opposite, the International Date Line -- ~180 degrees, which wanders a little for political reasons.
Do the longitude lines meet at the north and south pole?
By definition, a line of longitude is an imaginary great circle on the surface of the earth passing through the north and south poles at right angles to the equator such that "all points on the same meridian have the same longitude".Therefore, all lines of longitude meet at a point at each of the poles.
Where do lines of longitude converge (meet)?
-- All lines of longitude meet at the north and south poles. -- No two lines of latitude ever meet or cross each other. -- Every line of longitude crosses every line of latitude. -- Every line of latitude crosses every line of longitude. -- There are an infinite number of each kind, so there are an infinite number of places where a line of longitude crosses a line of latitude. (That's kind of the whole idea of the system.)
What are the names of the longitude that pass through the equator if yes then why?
All lines of longitude pass through the Equator.
What are further apart at the equator than at the poles?
Lines of constant latitude don't cross the equator. Any two lines of constant longitude are farthest apart at the equator, and meet at the north and south poles.
What is a line around the earth with all points equidistant from the equator?
All lines of Longitude are perpendicular to the Equator.
As you move north to south from the equator lines of longitude become what to one another?
The meridians of longitude become closer together. Because eventually, at the poles, they all have to meet at the same points.
What lies at the intersection of the longest lines of latitude and longitude?
All lines of longitude are equal. The longest line of latitude is the Equator.
As you move north or south from the equator the lines of longitude become what to one another?
closer
Why are the equator and all lines of longitude called great circles?
The equator and all lines of longitude are called great circles because the represent the circumference of the earth. The other latitude lines along the globe are smaller then the actually circumference.
