What lines measure distances north or south of the equator?
Longitude
Which way is longatude and which way is latitude?
longitude is the long way...or horizontal. latitude is vertical, or up and down.
What direction does longitude travel on the globe?
Longitude lines connect the North and South Poles and measure distances east or west of Greenwich.
Imaginary lines used to measure distances north and south of the Equator are lines of?
Lines of latitude are imaginary lines used to measure distances north and south of the Equator or 0 degrees.
What are the lines on a map running north-south that show distances east or west of the prime meridian?
Meridians of Longitude All of the other meridians; the lines of longitude.
What are lines of longitude and which ways do they run?
lines of longitude are lines drawn north and south and measure east and west a famous line of longitude is the Prime meridian
What are the lines on the globe called?
The key lines are latitude and longitude. These are based on specific points. The equator is the latitude around the center of the earth. Longitude is measured from the Prime Meridian, which goes through the Greenwich Observatory in England.The Tropics and the Arctic/Antarctic Circle are also key.
What are the imaginary lines that run north and south across the earth called?
Imaginary lines that run north to south are known as lines of longitude. Longitude lines are the imaginary lines running through the Earth between the North and South Poles. They are arbitrary and used for reference so everyone can know where they are in the world. The lines running north and south are called "meridians" or "lines of longitude."
What lines measures distance east and west of the prime meridian?
Longitude lines. They are also called meridians.
Imaginary lines of measure distances from south and north of the equator?
latitude
Why is longitude east or west when it goes from north to south?
In a grid system, the lines that run "up and down" are used to measure distances "left and right". The lines of longitude run north and south from the North Pole to the South Pole, and define 360 degrees of measurement : 180° east and 180° west (the same end point).
How a place on the globe is located with the help of a grid?
A place on the globe is located using a grid system based on lines of latitude and longitude. Latitude lines run horizontally and measure distances north or south of the Equator, while longitude lines run vertically and measure distances east or west of the Prime Meridian. By identifying the specific coordinates (degrees of latitude and longitude), one can pinpoint any location on Earth accurately. For example, a location at 40°N latitude and 74°W longitude corresponds to New York City.
