No. Just like parallel lines on a flat surface, any two lines of latitude that you

choose are the same distance apart everywhere, they never cross, and they

never touch. That's why they're often called "parallels" of latitude.

Where do the latitude lines meet?

None of the latitudes meet together because they are parallel. The North Pole and South Pole do not have any latitudes or longitudes because all directions are south at the north pole and north at the south pole.


What is the point south on earth where the lines of longitude meet 90 degrees S latitude?

south pole


Latitude lines are parallel?

Yes. Any two lines of constant latitude that you choose stay the same distance apart everywhere and never meet or cross. That's a big part of the reason that they're often called "parallels" of latitude.


What are the lines of latitude for the north and south pole?

The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles.


Does all the lines pass through the South Pole?

No. All lines of latitude meet at the South Pole -- and the North Pole. For example, the Prime Meridian -- 0 degrees meets the International Date Lilne -- 180 degrees, at the poles.


Do all of the lines pass through South Pole?

All lines of latitude meet at the South Pole -- and the North Pole, and what they meet is their 180-degree opposite. For example, the Prime Meridian -- 0 degrees meets the International Date Line -- 180 degrees at both poles.


Which two imaginary lines meet at the north pole?

What are meridians and parrells?

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.


How many lines of latitudec and longitude is located in soutjh pole?

The south pole is located at 90° south latitude and every longitude, because all longitudes converge (meet) at the north and south poles.


What is the latitude at the south pole?

The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles.


What two location on globe only list latitude lines but not longitude lines?

The north and south poles are at 90° latitude, and ALL longitudes meet there so longitude at the poles is irrelevant. Honestly, it's much easier to discuss these things if you forget about "lines".


Where do the meridians meet in antarctica?

The meridians meet at 90 degrees South latitude -- the South Pole.
