First of all, I'd be fascinated to see a line that's traveling. But I think I know
what you mean.
East-west lines drawn on a map or globe are part of some coordinate system
that's used to describe locations on the Earth's surface. One system that's very
popular and widely consulted is the system of latitude and longitude. In that
system, the east-west lines are parallels of constant latitude.
The imaginary lines that run around the earth in an east-west direction are lines of latitude or parallels.
Imaginary lines that are used to help locate places and objects are called lines of latitude and longitude. Lines of latitude run east and west around the Earth, while lines of longitude run north and south from pole to pole.
Imaginary lines that circle the earth from east to west are called lines of longitude, or meridians. These lines help define the distance east or west of the prime meridian, which is located in Greenwich, England.
The lines parallel to the equator are referred to as Lines of Latitude and are used to measure degrees above and below the equator. They are also called parallels and include the Arctic and Antarctic Circles and the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn; the equator is the longest line of latitude on the earthSee the link below
The lines running from north to south are called longitudinal lines or meridians. These lines help to indicate a location's east-west position on the Earth's surface.
The invisible lines around the earth are called lines of latitude and longitude. Lines of latitude run east-west and measure the distance north and south of the equator, while lines of longitude run north-south and measure the distance east and west of the Prime Meridian. These lines help in locating specific points on Earth's surface.
I think its called the equator.
The imaginary lines that run around the earth in an east-west direction are lines of latitude or parallels.
Lines that run parallel on the Earth are called latitude lines. These lines measure the distance north or south of the Equator and help to identify locations on the globe.
the equator ========= There are many imaginary lines around the Earth. In fact, there are an infinite number of imaginary lines. The two main types of imaginary lines are parallels of latitude (of which the Equator is one) and meridians of longitude.
The equator and the lines of longitude.
The vertical lines around our globe are called longitudes or meridians. They help determine a location's east-west position on Earth and are measured in degrees east or west of the prime meridian.
Imaginary lines that circle the earth from east to west are called lines of longitude, or meridians. These lines help define the distance east or west of the prime meridian, which is located in Greenwich, England.
Imaginary lines that are used to help locate places and objects are called lines of latitude and longitude. Lines of latitude run east and west around the Earth, while lines of longitude run north and south from pole to pole.
horizontal lines represent latitude and vertical lines represent longitude
Earth's parallels are called lines of latitude. They are imaginary lines that run parallel to the equator and are used to measure the distance north or south of the equator in degrees.
They are sometimes called "parallels of latitude", or just "latitude lines". The east-west lines on the map measure the latitude in degrees north or south of the equator.
