360
There are 360 meridians in the world, as they are lines of longitude that divide the Earth into 360 degrees from the Prime Meridian at Greenwich, England.
There are a total of 360 meridians on the Earth's surface, running from the North Pole to the South Pole. Each meridian is spaced 1 degree apart, helping to define longitudinal coordinates on maps and globes.
72 number of meridians can be drawn on the globe at 5 degree interval

Two meridians can be separated by many degrees or by small fractions of a degree.
A globe can have 36 meridians drawn at 10-degree intervals. This is because meridians are lines of longitude that extend from the North Pole to the South Pole, and they are measured from 0 degrees (the Prime Meridian) to 360 degrees. Dividing the 360 degrees by 10 degrees gives 36 meridians.
On a globe, there are 18 parallels (lines of latitude) that can be drawn at 10-degree intervals from the equator at 0° up to the poles at 90° north and 90° south. For meridians (lines of longitude), there are 36 that can be drawn at 10-degree intervals, ranging from 0° to 360°. Thus, in total, there are 54 lines (18 parallels and 36 meridians) on the globe at 10-degree intervals.
There are 180-meridians in the eastern hemisphere. The meridian through Greenwich, England, also called the Prime Meridian, was set at zero degrees of longitude. The meridian on the opposite side of the earth is 180-degrees.
One degree is 69.11 statute miles, corresponding to0.01147 degree (52.1 seconds) per mile.BUT ...This is true for latitude anywhere on Earth, but it's only true for longitudealong the equator.All meridians ("lines") of longitude meet and merge at the north and southpoles. So as you get farther from the equator, one degree of longitude marksless distance.For longitude anywhere on Earth . . .Distance for one degree = 69.11 miles times cosine(latitude) .Degrees per mile = 0.01447 divided by cosine(latitude) .
360 meridians in a Globe. -Tomi Jade
well it takes many kingdoms to divide the kingdoms
