Sets of numbers that show where lines of latitude and longitude meet are called coordinates. Coordinates are used to specify exact locations on the Earth's surface.
Latitude.
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
latitude and longitude
Ya totally man!!
the lines on the globe are called longitude and latitude lines the longitude lines go up and down while the latitude lines go left to right
I think its called the equator.
Those lines are called longitude and latitude.
Every point on Earth has a latitude and a longitude. No two points have the same set of two numbers.
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.
The pattern of lines that circle the globe east-west are called lines of latitude, while the lines that circle the globe north-south are called lines of longitude. Together, they form a grid system that helps in locating points on the Earth's surface.
It is called a grid system (or map coordinates), and is used to identify locations on the map. It is made of latitude and longitude lines. The latitude lines are also called parallels and they run west to east. Longitude lines, also known as meridians, run north to south.
Longitude is the best term, but sometimes meridian is used. The line of longitude at zero degrees is the Prime Meridian.
