∙ 14y agoA meridian is any line between the north and south poles. Every point on it has the same longitude.
Nobody can tell you which longitudes you're allowed to draw meridians at, and which you're not.
You can draw a meridian on any longitude you want to, and you can have as many meridians as you
want. You can draw so many meridians on your map that the map is completely black, your magic
marker runs out of ink, and you can't see anything else on the map. Go ahead. Knock yourself out.
When I'm asked to find the longitude of some point, I frequently specify it down to one 'second' of
latitude and longitude. There are 3,600 seconds in one degree ! Of course no map can show
printed meridians for every second.
Your question is exactly like asking "How many inches are there between the marks on a ruler ?".
The answer is: As many as the ruler manufacturer felt like putting on it. But that doesn't mean
you're restricted to only the measurements that have marks.

∙ 13y agoThere is no official set of "lines". Some globes and maps have more lines, spaced closer
together. Some globes and maps have fewer lines, spaced farther apart. Some globes
and maps have no lines at all. We have no way of knowing how the particular globe
that you're looking at is marked, and the next one you see may be different.

The parallel that divides earth into hemispheres is the?
The Prime Meridian, it is located at 0 degrees latitude.
Is 120 degrees west longitude parallel to the prime meridian?
Meridians are not parallel. They join at the poles. Parallels of latitude is a common phrase. Meridians of longitude look parallel on the the map, but they're not on the globe.
What is the name of the parallel that is located at 0 degrees longitude?
All parallels, or latitudes, cross 0 degrees longitude. 0 degrees longitude is the prime meridian. 0 degrees latitude, or parallel, is the equator
What is the time difference between two meridian lines?
The Greenwich Meridian, also known as the prime meridian or International Meridian, bisects the primary division of time zones. Each time zone is 15 degrees of longitude in width, with local variations, and observes a clock time one hour earlier than the zone immediately to the east. The time difference between two meridian lines is one hour (the time difference between two longitudinal lines is 4 minutes and consequently the time difference between 15 longitudinal lines; or two meridian lines; would be one hour). Refer to link below.The Greenwich Meridian bisects the primary division of time zones. Each time zone is 15 degrees of longitude in width, with local variations, and observes a clock time one hour earlier than the zone immediately to the east. The time difference between two meridian lines depends on where you draw the lines. There is no official standard set of lines that everyone is required to use, and a line can be drawn at ANY longitude. Whatever the longitude difference is between the two meridians you decide to consider, the time difference between them (in hours) is nominally 1/15 of that angle.
What woild be the line of longitude for a place that is west of the prime meridian and halfway between the prime meridian and the 80 line of longitude?
Halfway between the Prime Meridian and 80 degrees west has to be pretty close to 40 degrees west, we'd say.
What is the difference in longitude from the prime meridian to 35 degrees east?
35 degrees
Name the parallel located at 0 degrees?
There are 2: The Equator & the Prime (Greenwich) Meridian.
Is the Tropic of Cancer is a meridian?
No. It's a parallel of latitude, roughly 23.5 degrees north of the equator.
The parallel that divides earth into hemispheres is the?
The Prime Meridian, it is located at 0 degrees latitude.
Between which two parallel and which two meridian is the tip of Africa located?
It is located between 30 degrees east and 15 degrees east latitude/parallel and 30 degrees south and 45 degrees south longitude/meridians. You can use a map with medians and parallels on it to answer the question. There are pictures of those maps in Google maps if you want to know how to do it.
Is the tropic of cancer a meridian of longitude?
No. It's a parallel of latitude, roughly 23.5 degrees north of the equator.
What is the difference between lines of longitude and lines of latitude?
Firstly, different maps or atlases draw lines of latitude and longitude in varying degrees apart. Although most maps have differences of 10 degrees apart, atlases can be as close as 1 or 2 degrees. Secondly, you might be referring to the major lines of latitude and longitude, such as the Equator and the Prime Meridian. Some maps that are very small only show the major lines of latitude and longitude. The difference between the equator and the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn is 23.5 degrees, while the difference between the equator and the Arctic and Antarctic Circles is 66.5 degrees. The difference between the Prime Meridian and the International Date Line is 180 degrees.

What is properties of parallel and meridian?
Parallels Parallels are circles that are parallel to the equator. They are measured in degrees north or south of the equator, with 0° latitude being the equator itself. The distance between two adjacent parallels decreases as you move towards the poles. The equator is the longest parallel, while the poles are the shortest. Parallels are used to determine latitude, which is the measure of how far north or south a location is from the equator. Meridians Meridians are semi-circles that run from the North Pole to the South Pole. They are measured in degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian, which is the meridian that passes through Greenwich, England. The distance between two adjacent meridians is the same everywhere on Earth. The Prime Meridian is the longest meridian, while the 180° meridian is the shortest. Meridians are used to determine longitude, which is the measure of how far east or west a location is from the Prime Meridian.
What is the natural border of Kansas and Nebraska?
The 40th Parallel, the 6th Principal Meridian, is the borderline for the states of Kansas and Nebraska.
What would be the line of longitude for a place that is west of the prime meridian halfway between the prime meridian and the 180 degrees line of longitude?
90 degrees
Is 120 degrees west longitude parallel to the prime meridian?
Meridians are not parallel. They join at the poles. Parallels of latitude is a common phrase. Meridians of longitude look parallel on the the map, but they're not on the globe.
