Meridians of longitude; parallels of latitude. Remember that meridians are all the same length (20,000 km) and that they meet at the poles. Parallels are, well, parallel, and are different lengths, the longest being the Equator.
How many meridians can be drawn on the globe at 5 degree interval?
72 number of meridians can be drawn on the globe at 5 degree interval
How may meridians are there at an interval of 5 degree?
That's a lot like asking "How many marks are there on a ruler in an interval of 5 inches ?" There is no standard 'set' of meridians. Various maps and globes print more meridians or fewer, and some print none at all. A meridian can be printed on a map at any longitude you name. There is no fixed number of them.
Differences between parallels and meridians?
-- Parallels are associated with latitudes. Meridians are associated with longitudes. -- Parallels are parallel, and no tweo parallels intersect. All meridians intersect all other meridians, at two places. -- Every point on a parallel has the same latitude. Every point on a meridian has the same longitude. -- Every parallel in the same hemisphere has a different length. Every meridian on Earth has the same length. -- Every parallel is a full circle. Every meridian is a semi-circle. -- Every parallel crosses all longitudes. Every meridian crosses all latitudes. -- The distance between two parallels is the same at every longitude. The distance between two meridians depends on the latitude where it's measured. -- To cross all parallels, you only have to travel 12,000 miles. To cross all meridians, you have to travel 24,000 miles.
