Is the meridian longitude or latitude?
Every point on a meridian has the same 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.
What degree is the prime meridian located at?
The longitude of the Prime Meridian, by international definition and agreement, is zero (0°). .Every point on the Prime Meridian has a different latitude, and every latitude on Earthhas a point on the Prime Meridian.
What do you know about lines of longitude?
Every meridian ('line') of longitude is a semicircle on the earth's surface, running between the north and south poles. Every meridian runs through all possible latitudes, and every point on a meridian has the same longitude.
What is the distance of the prime meridian?
-- The longitude of the Prime Meridian is zero. -- Every point on the Prime Meridian has a different latitude. -- For every possible latitude, there is a point on the Prime Meridian.
What degree is the prime meridian at?
The Prime Meridian is at zero degrees longitude and every possible latitude.
Does the prime meridian pass through the North and the South Hemisphere?
Yes. Every meridian of longitude does that.
What is the latitude of the prime meridian?
The Prime Meridian is made out of all the points at zero longitude and every latitude.
What is the length of prime meridian?
Every meridian is about 12,426 miles long.
What does all lines of longitude pass through?
-- Every meridian of longitude crosses the equator, and every other parallel of latitude. -- Every meridian of longitude has one end at the north pole. -- Every meridian of longitude has the other end at the south pole. The meridians don't 'pass through' the poles, because every one of them stops there.
What are the imaginary lines parallel to the prime meridian?
There are no geographic lines that are parallel to the Prime Meridian. Technically, every meridian of longitude is parallel to every other meridian of longitude, but only over an infinitesimal distance north or south of the equator. I'm quite sure that's not what you're looking for.
What is the name of the line that is parallel to the prime meridian?
There are no geographic lines that are parallel to the Prime Meridian. Technically, every meridian of longitude is parallel to every other meridian of longitude, but only over an infinitesimal distance north or south of the equator. I'm quite sure that's not what you're looking for.
