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

On a globe, there are 18 parallels (lines of latitude) that can be drawn at 10-degree intervals from the equator at 0° up to the poles at 90° north and 90° south. For meridians (lines of longitude), there are 36 that can be drawn at 10-degree intervals, ranging from 0° to 360°. Thus, in total, there are 54 lines (18 parallels and 36 meridians) on the globe at 10-degree intervals.

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.


How do meridians that appear on cylindrical projection differ from meriidians on a globe?

Meridians on a cylindrical projection appear as straight vertical lines on the map, while meridians on a globe are smooth curves meeting at the poles. The distortion of meridians increases as you move away from the equator on a cylindrical projection, making them seem more elongated.

How are the meridians on the map different from the meridians on a globe?

Meridians on a globe get closer and eventually merge at the North and South Poles. On a map (a flat plane) the meridians are drawn parallel and there is distortion at the poles, most noticeable on a world map.

Are the prime meridians evenly divisible by 30?

Earth can be divided into an infinite number of meridians, but only one of them is prime, which means most important or number one. The Prime Meridian is 0° longitude. The complete set of meridians covers a total of 360°, which is evenly divisible by 30.
