Lines of latitude and longitude are imaginary lines on maps of the world. Latitude is measured by degrees north or south of the equator and lines of latitude are parallel to each other.
Lines of longitude are drawn so that they cut through both north and south pole, so each is progressively closer to the next as they get closer to the poles and maximum distance apart at the equator. The line of longitude that passes through Greenwich in London (UK) is called the prime meridian and other lines of longitude are referred to it, so New York (USA) is about 74º west and Melbourne (Australia) is about 145º east.
What else can I help you with?
Why are there 181 lines of latitudes?
90 north latitudes + 90 south latitudes + 1 line of equator
Are longitudes and latitudes parallels lines?
Latitude lines are parallel but not longitude lines.
What are the parallels and latitudes on maps?
Parallels are lines that go up and down the map, latitudes are lines that go across the map from side to side.
What are the imaginary lines on the maps?
The horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.
What are the imaginary lines on the globe and map?
The horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.
What are vertical lines called?
They are simply just called lines.
What direction do lines of latitudes run?
one direction
What are lines that run parallel from the equator called?
There are no parallel lines that run FROM the equator. Lines that are parallel TO the equator are the latitudes.
Is the area between the tropic of cancer and the tropic of Capricorn high or low latitudes?
Both! All lines of latitude between the equator and the tropic of cancer are high latitudes, and lines of latitude between the equator and the tropic of capricorn are considered low latitudes. ***THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE TROPICAL LATITUDES*** <- those I can't name
Lines of latitudes what do they mean?
they are a imagination dots in the north pole.
How do latitudes affct the climate?
Latitude (lines of latitude) are imaginary lines circiling the Earth, the do not effect climate.
What are two important lines of latitudes?
The equator and the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn
