The distance between the longitudes decreases towards?
The north and south poles or away from the equator. At the poles the distances between lines of longitude are zero.
Why does latitude is more accurate than longitude?
the distance between latitudes is constant at all places on the globe but distances between longitudes shrinks the further you move away from the equators toward the poles.
How are distances measured on a map?
East and west distances can be measured using longitude lines, imaginary lines that connect the Earth's poles. The distance between any two longitudes is the greatest at the equator, and zero at the poles.
How many longitudes are there?
The same as the total number of different lengths that can be measured on a3-foot ruler. If you name two longitudes, then no matter how close togetherthey are, I can always name another longitude that's in between yours. Sothere's no limit to the number of different longitudes that we can name.
Why are latitudes concentric but longitudes meet at the poles?
Latitudes are parallel to the equator. Longitudes converge like elastics on a soccer ball.

How many longitudes are?
There are 360 longitudes

What is a series of lines or points that mark off known spaces or distances on a measuring intrument?
No
Why are longitudes called meridians of longitudes?
as all the places on the same longitude have their noon at the same time
Where do longitudes meet?
At the poles.
Where do the E and W linesof longitude meet?
The zero mark, at the Prime Meridian, and the 180 mark, the "anti-meridian" in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, are the places where the same line is the edge of both east and west longitudes. But all of the lines ('meridians') that mark a constant longitude meet at the north and south poles.

What was Edisons first practical invention Tick a Tape for?
To measure Mark McGwire's home run distances.
What longitudes and latitudes is Afghanistan between?
to the nearest minute between longitudes 60e31 & 74e53 & between latitudes 29n22 & 38n29
