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.
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.
Those are meridians of constant longitude.
