Some maps and globes have 'lines' printed on them, and some don't. If there
are lines on the globe, they're a convenience to help you estimate the location
of a place you might want to find again later, by giving you a scale of numbers
to measure the spot against.
They're 'scales' for measuring, just like the marks on a ruler. But instead of making
you use a ruler and try to wrap it around the globe, they print the rulers right on
the globe for you.
What else can I help you with?
What are the lines that run horizontally CIRCLING the globe?
no
What are two names for the lines that run east to west on a globe?
They are the lines of latitude, and they are also called parallels.
What is another name for the lines that run across the globe east-west called besides latitude?
The lines on the globe are not called "latitude", any more than the marks on a thermometer are called "temperature". The lines on the globe that mark intervals of latitude are called "parallels" of latitude.
What are the imaginary lines on the globe and map?
The horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.
What are Lines on globe like checkerboard?
Lines on a globe that resemble a checkerboard pattern are likely to be latitude and longitude lines. Latitude lines run horizontally around the globe, measuring the distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run vertically, measuring the distance east or west of the prime meridian. These lines help pinpoint specific locations on Earth's surface.
What are the lines on the globe that look like a checkerboard called?
the lines on the globe are called longitude and latitude lines the longitude lines go up and down while the latitude lines go left to right
What globe lines that are always the same distance apart?
"Parallels" of latitude. Those are the lines that are drawn horizontal on the globe or map.
What is latuide?
the horazontal lines on a globe
In what way can the imaginary lines on the globe help?
The imaginary lines on the globe helps because it divides the Northern Hemisphere from Southern Hemisphere. Therefore, imaginary lines are helpful.
Do the lines of measure the distance north and south or east and west on the globe?
The lines of latitude on a globe measure the distance east and west.
Are the parallel lines on a globe called longitude or latitude lines?
Latitude.
How many lines of latitude are on the globe?
there are 36 lines of latitude respectively
Why there is an imaginary lines on globe?
Those lines are called longitude and latitude.
The horizontal lines are called the lines of what?
On the globe they are called lines of LATITUDE and are parallel to the equator.
What are the lines that run horizontally CIRCLING the globe?
no
What are the lines of the globe called?
latitude and longitude
What is the pattern of lines that circle the globe east-west and north-south called?
The pattern of lines that circle the globe east-west are called lines of latitude, while the lines that circle the globe north-south are called lines of longitude. Together, they form a grid system that helps in locating points on the Earth's surface.
