A line of longitude is an imaginary line that joins up a lot of points all with the same longitude. That means it starts at the north pole and goes south, all the way to the south pole, always with the same longitude. At every point it runs north and south.
There is a line of longitude for every possible longitude, so an infinite number of lines.

East-West
What is the logic behind lines of latitude and longitude?
They pinpoint exact locations, used as directions, find places, etc.
What directions does longitude lines give?
They give east and west. You're welcome. :)
What cardinal directions do longitude lines measure on the surface of earth?
north to south
In which directions do lines of latitude and longitude run?
Latitude lines run east-west, but measure north and south. Longitude lines run north-south, but measure east and west.

Latitude lines run east-west, but measure north and south. Longitude lines run north-south, but measure east and west.
What directions are latitude lines used?
Lines parallel to the equator.
What colour is used for the lines of longitude?

What is the longitude's measurement?
Longitude lines are the North/South lines that separate the earth in 15 degree sections. They are used for navigation.
In which directions do the lines of latitude and lines of longitude -used on maps and globes-run?
Longitude are the vertical lines, like the Greenwich Meridian, and latitude are the horizontal ones, like the Equator. I remember this as the Earth is fatter around the Equator, and squashed at the Poles, so the Longitude lines go the short way, which is opposite to the way you would think! 2c9dd5a9-a7f3-4ff1-9a12-e0799b48ab5b 1.03.01 2c9dd5a9-a7f3-4ff1-9a12-e0799b48ab5b 1.03.01
If you needed to give directions that would tell how far you were from the equator would use the lines of longitude?
No, you would use latitude.
