What is the longest line of longitude?
The lines of longitude are all the same length. There is no longest line of longitude. Now, if you mean latitude, then that would be the equator.
What lies at the intersection of the longest lines of latitude and longitude?
All lines of longitude are equal. The longest line of latitude is the Equator.
What are the longest latitude and longest longitude?
The longest parallel of latitude is the one defined as 'zero degrees', known as the "Equator". All meridians of longitude have the same length ... 1/2 of the earth's polar circumference.
Is the equator the smallest longitude?
No, it's the longest latitude.
Is 180 degrees east is the longest longitude?
All meridians of longitude have the same nominal length. However, at any given longitude, the meridian of 180° East longitude is the one farthest from the Prime Meridian. Perhaps that's what you had in mind.
What country has the second greatest longitude?

Is the longest night of the year always after the winter solstice or does it vary by longitude?
The perceived longest night varies by longitude, latitude, altitude relative to the horizon, and other factors such as temperature, pressure and relative humidity which affect the perceived rather than the idealized sunset and sunrise times. Therefore, the "longest night" may fall before or after the winter solstice, depending on location. Or, the longest night may instead be a pair of longest nights on both sides of a solstice if no difference in the length of the nights can be measured. Politically speaking, the night following the winter solstice is traditionally always celebrated as the longest night, since each location's longest night could technically be different than the next location around the world or even within the same nation.
Lines of longitude called what?
Meridians of longitude; parallels of latitude. Remember that meridians are all the same length (20,000 km) and that they meet at the poles. Parallels are, well, parallel, and are different lengths, the longest being the Equator.
Which is the longest meridian?
All meridians of longitude join the Earth's north and south poles. So they all have the same length ... half of the Earth's polar circumference, or about 24,800 miles.
What does longitude mmean?
