Every meridian is an imaginary semi-circle between the north and south poles.
There are an infinite number of them, each one is more than 12,000 miles long,
and every point on the same meridian has the same longitude.

What is another name for lines of longitude and what direction do they run?
Lines of longitude are also known as meridians. They run north-south and measure east-west.
Lines of longitude called what?
Meridians of longitude; parallels of latitude. Remember that meridians are all the same length (20,000 km) and that they meet at the poles. Parallels are, well, parallel, and are different lengths, the longest being the Equator.
what are the main properties of parallels and meridians?
Ware the main properties of parallels and meridians
In which cardinal Direction does a parallel or line of latitude run?
Lines of latitude run east and west (like rungs on a ladder) and meridians (lines of longitude) run north and south
Why there are 360 meridians of longitude?
There are an infinite number of meridians. 360 of them are multiples of a whole degree because there are 360 degrees in a circle.
Which direction do Yin meridians flow?
Of the twelve regular meridians, the yin meridians always flow up the body, and all the yang meridians always flow down.
What direction do meridians go?
North South
What directions do meridians run?
Meridians join the Poles of the Earth and intersect the equator at right angles, thus the direction is North/South.
Which direction do meridans run?
Meridians of longitude run from pole to pole Parallels of latitude run east-west
What is the direction of a meridian of longitude which converges on the north pole?
"Meridians" are the [straight] lines of Latitude (vertical, North-South lines) on a map, and Longitudes are the circular lines (horizontal, East-West) going around the world. So there can not be "Meridians of Longitude" that converge at a poll.
Where do the meridians meet?
meridians meet at the poles
Which one of the following are the direction of a meridian of longitude which converges on the North Pole?
All 'Meridians' converge at the Poles. No lines of Longitude do (they go 'around' the globe).
What is another name for lines of longitude and what direction do they run?
Lines of longitude are also known as meridians. They run north-south and measure east-west.
How many meridians are there on the earth surface?
23 meridians, dividing earth into 24 time zones
What do you call the vertical lines around the globe?
meridians or lines of longitude
Lines of longitude called what?
Meridians of longitude; parallels of latitude. Remember that meridians are all the same length (20,000 km) and that they meet at the poles. Parallels are, well, parallel, and are different lengths, the longest being the Equator.
Meridians are lines of?
Meridians are lines of longitude that are drawn from the North to South poles.
