What is the name for the lines of zero degree latitude and zero degree longitude?
0 longitude is the prime meridian. 0 latitude is the equator.
Why is the distance on a map showing 1 degree of longitude smaller than 1 degree of latitude yet both represent the same angle?
The lines of latitude represent degrees of arc being 111 kilometers per degree on the Earths surface. (111111.111 meters). That is how the meter was defined. Lines of longutude have this size on the equator but the lines converge at the poles where the distance between them becomes zero. So on maps, you will see that the distance of lines of latitude are always the same but those of longitude are smaller as distance increases away fro the equator.
Which lines-latitude or longitude-are always the same distance from each other no matter where they are on the planet?
Lines of latitude are always the same distance from each other, as they run parallel to the equator. Each degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles apart. Lines of longitude converge at the poles and are farthest apart at the equator.
What lines are parallel to the equator?
lines of latitude
Are the lines of Capricorn and cancer lines of longitude or latitude?
latitude?
Are latitude lines called meridian?
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
Are the parallel lines on a globe called longitude or latitude lines?
Latitude.
Lines of latitude and lines of longitude are perpendicular to?
Every meridian of longitude is perpendicular to every parallel of latitude, and every parallel of latitude is perpendicular to every meridian of longitude.
What lines are part of a grid system on the map?
Latitude and longitude
What are The lines that intercept latitude lines on a map Are lines of what?
The lines that intercept latitude lines are lines of longitude.
Lines of latitude are perpendicular to it?
Lines of Longitude
What is the most important thing about longitude and latitude?
Longitude lines go vertically and latitude lines go horizontally.
