The starting point for latitude is the equator. For longitude it is the prime meridian. Try and not get confused because some people think that it is the prime meridian for both but it is not. Hope this helps!
What else can I help you with?
What does the lines in globe equator?
All lines of latitude are parallel to the Equator, except the poles ,which are dot/points.
Why are there longitude and latitude lines?
They are important for tracking and mapping points and places.
What reference lines are used to locate points on earth?
Latitude and Longitude
What is the starting point for measuring latitude?
The starting point would be the equator. Lines of latitude run parallel to the equator.
Are latitude lines called meridian?
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
How do latitude and longitude lines help you find points on a map?
because when you put them together you get a graph and the points on the graph are your answer
Where do longitude and latitude lines meet?
Every point on Earth has a latitude and a longitude. No two points have the same set of two numbers.
Lines of the globe?
The lines on a globe refer to latitude and longitude lines that help locate points on Earth's surface. Latitude lines run east-west and measure a point's distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run north-south and measure a point's distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. These lines intersect at specific points to create a grid system used for navigation and mapping.
Which line on maps and globes is the starting place for meauring latitude?
The Equator is the starting point for measuring latitude on maps and globes. It is located at 0 degrees latitude and divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
What is the pattern of lines that circle the globe east-west and north-south called?
The pattern of lines that circle the globe east-west are called lines of latitude, while the lines that circle the globe north-south are called lines of longitude. Together, they form a grid system that helps in locating points on the Earth's surface.
How are the lines of latitude and longitude used to locate points on Earth's surface?
The lines of latitude provide vertical (north-south) coordinates on a map or globe. Lines of longitude provide horizontal (east-west) coordinates. The defined geographical point is where the latitude line intersects the longitude line.
What does the lines latitude run from?
Lines of latitude run east-west and measure the distance north or south of the equator. The equator is the starting point for measuring latitude, with 0 degrees at the equator and increasing to a maximum of 90 degrees at the poles.
