That depends on the scale of the map you use. On a small scale map (Remember, small scale = big area) longitude lines may be 10 or 15 degrees apart, while on a large scale map, they are probably one degree apart or even 15 minutes (one quarter degree) apart. We can measure them as finely as you want to.

How many lines of longitude in a hemisphere?

The northern and southern hemispheres each have 360 degrees of longitude. The eastern and western hemispheres each have 180 degrees of longitude. You can use as many or as few 'lines' as you want, to mark off any number of degrees.


What is the highest longitude lines?

The highest longitude lines are the prime meridian at 0 degrees longitude and the 180 degrees longitude line. These lines mark the starting point for longitude measurements to the east and west, respectively.


How many lines of east and west longitude make up the earth?

There are 180 degrees of east longitude and 180 degrees of west longitude, for a grand total of 360 degrees of longitude around the Earth. You're free to draw as few or as many 'lines' through that range on your map or globe as you feel will make you comfortable. There is no standard set of 'lines' that everone is required to use.

How many degrees of longitude does the Earth rotation cover?

A complete globe, including Earth, always has 360 degrees. There can be an infinite number of longitudinal lines because longitudinal lines are imaginary constructs and not physical features of Earth itself, so the number of degrees between those longitudinal lines is dependent on the number of longitudinal lines, assuming the longitudinal lines are equidistant. To calculate the number of degrees between these equidistant longitudinal lines, divide 360 degrees by the number of longitudinal lines. A model globe of Earth is typically given 36 lines of longitude. Using the calculation given above, the angle between adjacent longitudinal lines is 360 degrees divided by 36 lines of longitude, or 10 degrees. If 24 lines of longitude are used to represent the 24 time zones, the angle between adjacent longitudinal lines is 360 degrees divided by 24 lines of longitude, or 15 degrees.


How many degrees are the longitude lines in each hemisphere?

Does 90 degrees west longitude have a name?

No. 90 degrees longitude is not a major line of longitude. Only 0 and 180 degrees longitude, which are the Greenwich Meridian and the International Date Line respectively, are major lines of longitude.
