Latitude and longitude are angles that describe the location of a point on the Earth's
surface. Longitudes range from zero to 180 degrees east or west. Latitudes range from
zero to 90 degrees north or south.
There are no official 'lines'. Some maps or globes have some lines printed on them to
show where a few latitudes and longitudes are, and other maps and globes have no
lines at all printed on them. I have mapping software that can print 324,000 latitude
lines and 648,000 longitude lines if I want them, but I have never needed them yet.
What else can I help you with?
What lines are parallel to the equator?
lines of latitude
Are the lines of Capricorn and cancer lines of longitude or latitude?
latitude?
Is latitude and longitude lines measured in Florida?
Florida does have Longitude and Latitude lines, and while they are documented on maps of this area and in many other ways the measurements were done many many years ago.
Are latitude lines called meridian?
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
Lines of latitude and lines of longitude are perpendicular to?
Every meridian of longitude is perpendicular to every parallel of latitude, and every parallel of latitude is perpendicular to every meridian of longitude.
How many lines of longitude does a line of latitude intersect?
Every line of longitude intersects with every line of latitude and vic-versa.
Are the parallel lines on a globe called longitude or latitude lines?
Latitude.
What lines are part of a grid system on the map?
Latitude and longitude
What are The lines that intercept latitude lines on a map Are lines of what?
The lines that intercept latitude lines are lines of longitude.
What is the most important thing about longitude and latitude?
Longitude lines go vertically and latitude lines go horizontally.
Do latitude lines ever touch longitude lines?
Every parallel of latitude crosses every meridian of longitude.
Why would you use lines of latitude and longitude?
Lines of latitude and longitude allows any position on the Earth to be plotted.
