What else can I help you with?
What colour is used for the lines of longitude?
The lines of longitude are represented in green on most maps and globes.
The intersecting lines drawn on maps and globes are?
called latitude and longitude lines. Latitude lines run horizontally and measure north-south positions, while longitude lines run vertically and measure east-west positions. Together, they help establish specific locations on Earth's surface.
Distance east or west of the prime meridian is measured in degrees of?
Distance East or West of the prime meridian is measured in degrees of longitude.
Which direction do lines of latitude run on maps and globes?
The lines of latitude tell the angle between a place and the Equator - the imaginary line which runs east/west around the globe - at right angles to the line connecting the north and south poles. All lines of latitude are parallel to the Equator, and so they also run east/west or west/east. An easy way to remember the difference between latitude and longitude is longitude has the word long in it. they go north and south or you may say up and down and seem longer than the latitude lines which go left and right or east and west. i dont think the lines actually are longer but they appear to be. so think of it as longitude longer up and down. latitude the opposite, shorter, left and right. The lines of latitude on maps and globes 'run' in the same direction that the marks on a ruler do.
Why do distances appear longer on maps than globes?
It is to do with the scale used on the maps and globes.
What are the imaginary lines that measure distance on maps and globes?
east and west
Many maps and globes show east-west lines called?
they are called i dont know why do u thinkt hat i was asking lol and this is called wiki answers so im giving a wiki answer
Longitude lines measure east to west from the?
'Longitude' is the angle measured east or west from the Prime Meridian to the location of interest. Some lines may or may not be printed on some maps or globes to mark the position of some longitudes.
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.

Distance East or West of the prime meridian is measured in degrees of longitude.
Are globes and maps marked with imaginary lines for geographers to use colocate on earths surface?
Yes
Why is it necessary to have latitudes and longitudes on maps or globes?
these are the imaginary lines to check the gmt and location of a place
How many lines in latitude and longitude?
Latitude and longitude are angles that describe the location of a point on the Earth's surface. Longitudes range from zero to 180 degrees east or west. Latitudes range from zero to 90 degrees north or south. There are no official 'lines'. Some maps or globes have some lines printed on them to show where a few latitudes and longitudes are, and other maps and globes have no lines at all printed on them. I have mapping software that can print 324,000 latitude lines and 648,000 longitude lines if I want them, but I have never needed them yet.
