The prime meridian......
The Prime Meridian that runs from the North to South Poles is a Longitude.A rule of thumb:Longitude is long, starting at one pole and ending at the other.It divides the world like orange wedges.Latitude is flat. It divides the world like you would slice an onion to place on a hamburger.
Imaginary lines that run north to south are known as lines of longitude. Longitude lines are the imaginary lines running through the Earth between the North and South Poles. They are arbitrary and used for reference so everyone can know where they are in the world. The lines running north and south are called "meridians" or "lines of longitude."
No. Lines of longitude or meridians are not parallel.
Longitude is Verticle. the 0 degree runs north to south. Its the Prime Meridian, also called the Rose line in some contexts.
All of the Earth's longitudes converge (meet, come together) at both thenorth pole and the south pole.The south pole is located at 90 degrees south latitude and every longitude.

The Equator (latitude) and the Prime Meridian (longitude).
The virtual line that divides the world into the northern and southern hemispheres is called the Equator. It is an imaginary line located at 0 degrees latitude, halfway between the North Pole and the South Pole.
Latitude will always be north and south on a world map. Longitude will always be east and west on a map.

North, South, East, and West are relative directions depending on where in the world YOU are at this moment!Scotland is at 55.9500 degrees N and 3.1833 degrees W if you need latitude and longitude. It is part of the United Kingdom, and is north of England.
Longitude is Verticle. the 0 degree runs north to south. Its the Prime Meridian, also called the Rose line in some contexts.
The longest line of latitude is the equator, which divides the world into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
All of the Earth's longitudes converge (meet, come together) at both thenorth pole and the south pole.The south pole is located at 90 degrees south latitude and every longitude.
The prime meridian at 0° longitude divides the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. Locations to the east of the prime meridian are in the Eastern Hemisphere, while locations to the west are in the Western Hemisphere.
"Meridians" are the [straight] lines of Latitude (vertical, North-South lines) on a map, and Longitudes are the circular lines (horizontal, East-West) going around the world. So there can not be "Meridians of Longitude" that converge at a poll.
