Meridians are lines on a sphere (or other geometric solid) all of which go through the poles.

Degrees are a unit of measurement of angles and temperature and concentration, and some other things. As a unit for measuring angles, meridians are measured in degrees. There are 360 degrees in a complete circle.

How many meridians can be drawn on a globe at an interval of 10 degrees?

A globe can have 36 meridians drawn at 10-degree intervals. This is because meridians are lines of longitude that extend from the North Pole to the South Pole, and they are measured from 0 degrees (the Prime Meridian) to 360 degrees. Dividing the 360 degrees by 10 degrees gives 36 meridians.


What degrees of two meridians which can form a great circle?

Two meridians can form a great circle when they are 180 degrees apart, as they represent opposite points on the Earth's surface. For example, the Prime Meridian at 0 degrees and the Antimeridian at 180 degrees are such meridians. Any two meridians that are 180 degrees apart will create a great circle, which is the largest circle that can be drawn on the surface of a sphere.
