Firstly, different maps or atlases draw lines of latitude and longitude in varying degrees apart. Although most maps have differences of 10 degrees apart, atlases can be as close as 1 or 2 degrees.

Secondly, you might be referring to the major lines of latitude and longitude, such as the Equator and the Prime Meridian. Some maps that are very small only show the major lines of latitude and longitude. The difference between the equator and the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn is 23.5 degrees, while the difference between the equator and the Arctic and Antarctic Circles is 66.5 degrees. The difference between the Prime Meridian and the International Date Line is 180 degrees.

Latitude lines run parallel to the equator and measure a location's distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run perpendicular to the equator and measure a location's distance east or west of the prime meridian. Latitude lines are represented by horizontal lines on maps, while longitude lines are represented by vertical lines.

What is the refernce line for latitude?

The lines of longitude run up north and south and down from the poles. Lines of latitude run parallel North and South to the equator. I remember the difference between latitude and longitude because the lines of latitude look like the rungs of a ladder (geddit) as they go around the globe. JCF


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.


Difference between lines of latiude and longitude?

Latitude in my mind is fatitude because it goes side to side, and longitude is long so it goes up and down on a map.
