A Longitude line always runs from Pole to Pole which is the same distance anywhere on Earth. On the other hand, Latitude lines get shorter the farther North or South of the Equator they are.
Lines of longitude meet where?
Lines of longitude meet at the North and South Poles.
Do the lines of longitude on a map go from West-East or North-South?
The lines of longitude on a map goes from north-south
What way do lines of longitude and longitude run?
Lines of longitude stay right there where they are at. Each of them connects the north and south poles.
