Which way does longitudinal lines go?

Longitudinal lines run from pole to pole, parallel to the Prime Meridian. They help locate positions east or west of the Prime Meridian on a map or globe.


Do the longitudinal lines run parallel to the Equator?

No. Longitudinal lines run parallel to the Prime Meridian. Latitudinal lines run parallel to the Equator.


What is the difference between transverse lateral and longitudinal directions?

what is difference between lateral and longitudinal?


What is the difference between lateral and longitudinal directions?

Lateral direction runs from east to west and longitudinal direction runs from north to south. Latitude lines are parallel and equidistant from each other. The distance between latitude lines is approximately 69 miles. The equator is at 0 degree latitude. Longitude lines are known as meridians and converge at the poles. Longitude lines are widest at the equator.


Are perpendicular and parallel lines different?

They go in different directions.


How many degrees are there in a horizontel line?

Longitudinal lines themselves are imaginary constructs, having no real width, and therefore, no angle to measure. The angle between longitudinal lines on a globe depend on how many longitudinal lines are used to encircle the globe. Assuming that all longitudinal lines are equidistant, the angle can be found by dividing 360 degrees by the number of longitudinal lines. Typically, a globe will be given 36 lines of longitude, so the angle between longitudinal lines is equal to 360 degrees divided by 36 lines, or 10 degrees.


What are imaginary lines that go through the north pole and south pole called?

longitudinal lines run north/south; Latitudinal lines run east/west


What are lines opposite of the transversal lines?

Either parallel lines or longitudinal lines are opposite transversal lines.


Does a right angled triangle have parallel lines?

No. Parallel lines are lines that extend in the same direction. In a triangle the lines go in different directions.


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.
