That's like asking "How many marks are there on a ruler ?"
There are 360 degrees of longitude around the Earth. Some maps and globes
have a line every 10 degrees, some have a line every 15 degrees, some have
a line every 30 degrees, and some don't have any lines printed on them at all.
The mapping software that I use will print 1,800 lines in every degree, if I feel
that I need them for some reason. And no matter how many lines there are on
your map, there are always longitudes between the lines, just like there are
lengths between the marks on the ruler.
There is no official, standard set of 'lines' that everybody has to use. You can have
as few or as many lines on your map as you feel comfortable with.
What else can I help you with?
Are longitudes and latitudes parallels lines?
Latitude lines are parallel but not longitude lines.
What are the imaginary lines on the maps?
The horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.
How many longitudes are?
There are 360 longitudes
What are the imaginary lines on the globe and map?
The horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.
Lines that run from north to south are called?
longitudes or meridians
How many lines can pass through two distant points?
There can be infinitely many lines: think of the longitudes through he North and South poles. However, there can be only one straight line.
What is the imaginary line that runs through India?
Many imaginary lines run through India. Latitudes and longitudes for instance.
What do you call the vertical lines around the globe?
meridians or lines of longitude
Why do longitudes meet at poles?
Longitudes are lines that run north to south on a globe. At the poles, longitudes converge and meet because all lines of longitude, or meridians, come together at a single point. This means that at the poles, there is no east or west direction left to differentiate between, so the longitudes effectively merge together.
Longitude lines meet?
All longitudes converge at the north and south poles.
What is the name for all the vertical and horizontal lines found on a globe?
They are lines of longitude and latitude, often just longitudes and latitudes.
What are the imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator called?
Longitudinal or longitude lines are the imaginary lines that are perpendicular to the equator. Latitudinal or latitude lines are parallel to the equator.
