What else can I help you with?
What is the angle of intersection of all parallels and meridians on the earth?
90 degrees
What is defined as 'a regularly curved line on the surface of the earth that cuts all meridians at the same angle'?
It is called a parallel, or a line of latitude.
What do meridians have to do with time?
time is related to meridians because takes 24 hrs to earth to rotate on is own axle if you divide the circumference of earth on 24 slices it will give you 24 meridians
Is a meridian a line of longitude?
Yes. On earth A meridian is a curve on a surface of revolution, formed by the intersection of the surface with a plane containing the axis of revolution thus all lines of longitude are meridians. On Earth the Greenwich meridian is the line of 0 longitude.
What angle do lines of longitude cross with lines of latitude?
Meridians of constant longitude cross parallels of constant latitude. Parallels of constant latitude cross meridians of constant longitude. At each intersection of a meridian and a parallel, the lines are perpendicular (form 90° angles).
What are parallels and meridians and how are they different?
A "parallel" is a line comprised of all the points on Earth with the same latitude ... the angle measured north or south of the equator. Each parallel is a full circle, that crosses all meridians. A "meridian" is a line comprised of all the points on Earth with the same longitude ... the angle measured east or west from the Prime Meridian. Each meridian is a half- circle, that crosses all parallels.
How many meridians are there on the earth surface?
There are a total of 360 meridians on the Earth's surface, running from the North Pole to the South Pole. Each meridian is spaced 1 degree apart, helping to define longitudinal coordinates on maps and globes.
What is the imaginary lines that divide the earth?
