Not even counting Alaska or Hawaii, the US ranges between [66° 57'] and [124° 45' 30"] west longitude.
Any longitude you can name within that range traverses the USA. There are millions of them.
(In fact, there are an infinite number of them. For any two longitudes you name, no matter how close together they are, I can ALWAYS name a longitude that's in between your two.)
One should not get hung up on 'lines'. The lines you see marked on a map or globe are not the only ones that exist. If the publisher tried to mark every possible longitude on the map, the map would be completely black.
If you measure the length of a piece of string, and the end falls between two of the marks on your ruler, that doesn't mean that the length MUST be one of those marks. It means the actual length is some number that's BETWEEN the marks.
Same thing on the map or globe. There is no 'set' of permitted numbers that you MUST pick from.

What are the lines on maps and globes that help us find places?
Lines of latitude and longitude help us locate places on maps and globes. Latitude lines run horizontally and measure the distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run vertically and measure the distance east or west of the prime meridian. By using these lines, we can pinpoint the exact coordinates of any location on Earth.
What do lines of longitude tell us?
Lines of longitude tells us the degrees of the world. They are split up into the eastern and western hemispheres by the prime meridian.
What do lines of longitude tell us on a map?
Lines of longitude tells us where we are in relation to the Prime Meridian, either to the west or east.For an exact position on Earth, both lines of latitude and longitude (in degrees plus minutes and seconds) are used.
What information do lines of longitude on a map give us?
Condimation
What is the purpose of lines of longitude and latitude?
The function of latitude is to tell us far north south the equator we are. The function of longitude is to tell us east and west of the prime meridian we are.
The imaginary lines from from a grid over earth which enables us to pinpoint the exact location of any spot on earth?
The imaginary lines that create a grid over the Earth are known as latitude and longitude. Latitude lines run horizontally and measure the distance north or south of the Equator, while longitude lines run vertically and measure the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. Together, these lines form a coordinate system that allows us to pinpoint any location on the Earth's surface with precision. This grid system is essential for navigation, mapping, and geographic information systems (GIS).
How do the parallel of latitude and the meridians of longitude help us in locating a place on the globe?
Parallels of latitude and meridians of longitude form a grid system that allows for precise location identification on the globe. Latitude lines run horizontally and measure the distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run vertically and measure the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. By combining a specific latitude and longitude, we can pinpoint any location on Earth accurately. This system is essential for navigation, mapping, and geographic information systems (GIS).
What is lines of longitute?
The measurement of latitude begins at the Equator, which is defined as zero latitude. 'Lines' or parallels of latitude completely encircle the globe, and have no beginning or end points.
Does lines of meridian help us determine absolute location?
Yes, lines of longitude (meridians) help determine absolute location on Earth by providing a reference point based on the Prime Meridian (0°) and the International Date Line (180°). Longitude lines run north-south and intersect with latitude lines to pinpoint exact locations using degrees of latitude and longitude.
What Imaginary lines that help us determine location?
equator , prime merdian
What states in the US does the 100 degree w longitude line run through?
100 degrees west actually goes through 6 US states: North and South Dakota, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska.
Do lines of latitude help us determine absolute location?
Yes, lines of latitude help determine absolute location by providing a measure of how far north or south a point is from the equator. Latitude lines run east-west and are usually expressed in degrees, allowing us to pinpoint a specific location on Earth's surface.
