The south pole
Longitude, longitudinal As opposed to latitude (horizontal lines circling the earth.
Yes. Any two lines of constant latitude that you choose stay the same distance apart everywhere and never meet or cross. That's a big part of the reason that they're often called "parallels" of latitude.
The direct line across the Earth's or any astronomical body's diameter from pole to pole is its axis. The circumferential lines imagined on the surface are the Lines of Longitude.

Longitude lines connect the North and South Poles and measure distances east or west of Greenwich.
Yes. Any two lines of constant latitude that you choose stay the same distance apart everywhere and never meet or cross. That's a big part of the reason that they're often called "parallels" of latitude.
All meridians of longitude on the glob meet at the north and south poles.
The direct line across the Earth's or any astronomical body's diameter from pole to pole is its axis. The circumferential lines imagined on the surface are the Lines of Longitude.
On a weather map, the lines that connect points with equal barometric pressure are called Isobars.Iso = equalbar = pressure
Lines of latitude encircle the Earth horizontally, parallel to the Equator. Lines of longitude run from pole to pole, with the Prime Meridian (zero longitude) passing through the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, London, England.
meridians or lines of longitude
"Lines" of constant longitude are "meridians".
zero to 180
Lines of longitude, or meridians.
