Similarities:
Both sets of lines may be printed on maps and globes in any desired color,
with any desired thickness and at any desired interval, and can even not
be present at all.
Difference:
Longitude lines are semicircles, and are all the same length ... about 12,250 miles.
Latitude lines are full circles, and their lengths range from zero to about 24,500 miles.

Which lines-latitude or longitude-are always the same distance from each other no matter where they are on the planet?
The longitude lines are always the same distance from each other.
What will be the nature of time between two places situated at the same longitude but different latitude?
Longitude lines go from North to South.Latitude lines go from East to West.This means that two points on the same longitude but different latitude will most likely be in the same time zone and therefore have the same time on their clocks.There are minor exceptions to this, as some time zones are quite erratic in their structure, but IN GENERAL they will be the same.
Which lines-latitude or longitude- are always the same distance no matter where they are?
It's longitude Longitude goes vertically from one point and down so it is always going to be the same distance...Latitude goes horizontally so it isn't the same distance. HOPE THIS HELPED!
What are the east west lines called on maps and globes?
They represent degrees of latitude.
Which way dose latitude go to?
Lines of latitude go side to side or left and right. The line that determines lines of latitude is the equator. Latitude lines are expressed as being north or south of the equator. Latitude is Lateral. The same way as the horizon: Horizontal.
What is the same about lines of longitude and lines of latitude?
Lines of latitude and lines of longitude are equally misunderstood by substantial and virtually equal fractions of the general population.
How are lines of latitude and lines of longitute alike?
lines of latitude and lines of longitude are the same because they just are.
Which lines-latitude or longitude-are always the same distance from each other no matter where they are on the planet?
The longitude lines are always the same distance from each other.

Where do longitude and latitude lines meet?
Every point on Earth has a latitude and a longitude. No two points have the same set of two numbers.
How are latitude and longitude the same?
They are both imaginary lines which circle the earth!
How are lines of latitude different from longitude lines?
A parallel or "line" of latitude is the collection of all points on earth that have the same single latitude. It circles the earth in an east/west direction, parallel to the equator, and cuts across all longitudes. A meridian or "line" of longitude is the collection of all points on earth that have the same single longitude. It joins the north and south poles, and cuts across all parallels of latitude.
Which lines-latitude or longitude- are always the same distance no matter where they are?
It's longitude Longitude goes vertically from one point and down so it is always going to be the same distance...Latitude goes horizontally so it isn't the same distance. HOPE THIS HELPED!
What is the same about the longitude and latitude lines?
Their meaning, purpose, characteristics, and use are widely misunderstood.
What are the east west lines called on maps and globes?
They represent degrees of latitude.
What is a fact about longitude?
londirtude is lond and latitude is fat Lines of longitude all run North/South and are all the same length.
Which lines of longitude and latitude vary in length?
-- All meridians of longitude have the same length ... they all join the north and south poles. -- Each parallel of north latitude has the same length as the parallel at the equal south latitude, but no other one.
