Why isn't lines of longitude parallel?
Because The lines of Longitude cross over each other at the top of the world which makes them not parallel. Parallel: Lines that never cross or meet And always stay the same distance apart.
Of longitude and latitude which is parallel?
Lines of constant latitude are all parallel to each other.
Which lines-latitude or longitude-are always the same distance from each other no matter where they are on the planet?
The longitude lines are always the same distance from each other.
What display lines of longitude as parallel to each other?
A mercator projection is a cylindrical map which was developed as a navigation tool. It displays line of longitude as parallel to each other.
What lines run parallel to longitude?
No. Meridians of constant longitude are semicircles that join the north and south poles. Every one of them crosses the equator.

Does each line of longitude parallel to another line of longitude?
Yes No, lines of longitude are as parallel to each other as the earth is flat. All longitudes intersect at the north and south poles.
Of longitude and latitude which is parallel?
Lines of constant latitude are all parallel to each other.
Which lines-latitude or longitude-are always the same distance from each other no matter where they are on the planet?
The longitude lines are always the same distance from each other.
What distance are lines of longitude used to know?
None. The distances between the lines of longitude are a meaningless concept. These lines measure angular distance around the world around the equator. Each degree of longitude is approx 111 km at the equator and 0 km at the poles.
Lines of longitude are not parallel why?
because they merge at the poles... they seem to be parallel near the equtor region..n remenber parallel lines nver meet each other... n due to the shape of our earth these lines merge at poles...
What is the difference between parallel and perpendicular planes?
Parallel lines never intersect and remain equal distance from each other but perpendicular lines intersect at right angles
Do all lines of longitude meet at the equator?
Each line of latitude (the ones parallel to the Equator) crosses each line of longitude (the north - south lines).
What is the difference between lateral and longitudinal directions?
Lateral direction runs from east to west and longitudinal direction runs from north to south. Latitude lines are parallel and equidistant from each other. The distance between latitude lines is approximately 69 miles. The equator is at 0 degree latitude. Longitude lines are known as meridians and converge at the poles. Longitude lines are widest at the equator.
What is the difference between parallel lines and lines?
Parallel lines remain the same distance apart and never intersect each other whereas other types of lines intersect each other at some point.
What display lines of longitude as parallel to each other?
A mercator projection is a cylindrical map which was developed as a navigation tool. It displays line of longitude as parallel to each other.
What is parallel theorem?
Parallel lines never intersect and remain equal distance from each other
