What else can I help you with?
What distance are lines of longitude used to show?
None. they are a measure of angular distance and not of linear distance.
Imaginary lines used to measer distance north and sounth of the equator are lines of what?
it is longitude
What are the imaginary lines that run north and south across the earth called?
Imaginary lines that run north to south are known as lines of longitude. Longitude lines are the imaginary lines running through the Earth between the North and South Poles. They are arbitrary and used for reference so everyone can know where they are in the world. The lines running north and south are called "meridians" or "lines of longitude."
Imaginary lines used to measure distance north and south of the Equator are lines of?
longitude and latitude we use these as coordinates to find certain places on the globe
Lines of the globe?
The lines on a globe refer to latitude and longitude lines that help locate points on Earth's surface. Latitude lines run east-west and measure a point's distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run north-south and measure a point's distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. These lines intersect at specific points to create a grid system used for navigation and mapping.
What is loditude?
Latitude and Longitude. Both are imaginary lines that circle the earth and are used to measure distance and position. Lines of Latitude run east and west and lines of longitude run north and south. By intersecting two lines you can give an accurate position anywhere on the earth.
What do lines of latitude measure on earth?
Lines of latitude and longitude are used to form a grid encompassing the globe so that any position can be identified and located. Latitude is used to measure distance north and south of the equator, while longitude is used to measure distance east and west of the prime meridian.
What colour is used for the lines of longitude?
The lines of longitude are represented in green on most maps and globes.
Imaginary lines on the earth's surface running north to south and used to measure distance east to west?
Meridians of constant longitude.
What is the logic behind lines of latitude and longitude?
Lines of latitude and longitude are imaginary lines used to locate points on the Earth's surface. Latitude lines run east-west and measure the distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run north-south and measure the distance east or west of the prime meridian (which runs through Greenwich, England). Together, these lines create a grid system that allows for precise navigation and location identification on Earth.
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 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.
