360 meridians in a Globe.

72 number of meridians can be drawn on the globe at 5 degree interval
Meridians Meridians ;p
Meridians on a globe get closer and eventually merge at the North and South Poles. On a map (a flat plane) the meridians are drawn parallel and there is distortion at the poles, most noticeable on a world map.
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.
meridians or lines of longitude
Two meridians can be separated by many degrees or by small fractions of a degree.
The Meridians are lined in a pattern on the Mercator. They are all parallel to each other and converge at the poles when viewed on a globe.
they appear as straight lines.i needed help w this (?] too shoooot.aha,
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.
Meridians on a cylindrical projection appear as straight vertical lines on the map, while meridians on a globe are smooth curves meeting at the poles. The distortion of meridians increases as you move away from the equator on a cylindrical projection, making them seem more elongated.
Meridians are not parallel. Apart from that, what is the question?
Meridians - or lines of longitude.
