The straight line connecting the poles is the earth's rotational axis. The lines along the earth's surface from pole to pole are meridians or lines of longitude.
That would be considered the earths axis.
In the globe it is called the axis. In a sphere it is called the diameter.
rotation is the spiinning of the planet on its axis and revoulution is the orbiting of the planet around the sun
There are a number of imaginary lines that go through the North and South Poles one way or another.The Earth's axis passes through the centre of the Earth and is the point about which the Earth rotates. The north and south extremities of the axis are the North and South Poles. The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude and the North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude.The Prime Meridian based on Greenwich, England, is at 0 degrees longitude and all other meridians are "X" degrees east or west of it. The Prime Meridian was established for navigation and is the basis on which International time is kept.The International Date line is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Prime Meridian and is the point which separates yesterday from today. The line was drawn by international agreement, and was skillfully drawn so as not to cross any land to keep all areas of a country in the same day (and time zone). There are few bends and kinks in the International Date line to achieve this, but if it was a straight line, it would generally be at 180 degrees E or W longitude.All other imaginary lines are lines of longitude which are "X" degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian at Greenwich, England.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Lines of Longitude, other wise known as parallels of longitude.The straight line between the poles is the Earth's axis of rotation. The curved lines between the poles and along the surface are the meridiansof longitude.a axis
The straight line between the poles is the Earth's axis of rotation. The curved lines between the poles and along the surface are the meridians of longitude.
They are drawn on the earth as imaginary lines that run from east to west.
The prime meridian
In the globe it is called the axis. In a sphere it is called the diameter.
Latitude is imaginary lines that measures distance north or south of the equator. Longitude is imaginary lines that measures distance east and west of a line drawn between the North and South Poles and passing through the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, England.
No. The equator is an imaginary line drawn on the Earth's surface, all the way around, mid-way between the north and south poles.
The Axis
A Meridian or Meridian Line is an imaginary line drawn between two points. In geography these two points are an imaginary arc on the earths surface from the North to the South Poles. In astronomy it is an imaginary circle in a perpendicular plane to those planes of the celestial equator and horizon.
They are imaginary lines drawn on spheres such as the earth, sun, moon, planets to simplify the location of points of interest.
rotation is the spiinning of the planet on its axis and revoulution is the orbiting of the planet around the sun
You're talking about the Prime Meridian ... the imaginary line that defines the origin of longitude on Earth.But issue must be taken with your use of the terms "from" and "to". No meridian, including the Prime one, has a defined beginning or end point. They simply join the poles.
Axis
Latitude lines are imaginary lines that run East to West but measure North to South on the Globe. I remember latitude is fatitude. Longitude lines go North to South but measure East to West. I remember it as LONGitude.
The Demarcation Line was an imaginary line passing through the continent of South America. It was drawn by Pope Alexander VI to divide the new lands conquered by Portugal from those of Spain.
