Any "straight" line between the north and south poles is a meridian.
(It can't actually be "straight" because it's on the surface of a sphere. But we
describe it that way to mean that it's a line that just goes on about its business
from one pole to the other by the shortest route, without any squiggles, waves,
breaks, or extra curves in it.)
