What is a line that runs north and south called?
A line running north and south/ up and down is called a vertical line.
What meridan means?
A geodesic line connecting the north and south poles.
Are the longitude lines located at the North and South poles?
Yes, every line of longitude runs from the North Pole to the South Pole.
What is the line around the earth midway between the North and South Poles?
the equator
Are the prime meridian and the international date line the same thing?
The difference is 180 degrees of longitude. They're two different [imaginary] lines on the earth's surface, directly opposite each other. The Prime Meridian connects the north and south poles and runs through Europe and Africa. The International Date Line also connects the north and south poles, but runs down the other side of the earth, through the Pacific Ocean. If you stand at any point on either one of them (except at the north or south pole), then you can't see any point on the other one.
What is the virtual line that connects the south and north poles and divides the western and eastern hemisphere?
That could either The Prime Meridian or the International Date Line.
What line does not pass through the North and South poles?
Your thinking of the Prime Meridian, which terminates at the poles, and which connects to the International Date Line -- a non-straight line for political reasons, that essentially mirrors the PM, pole to pole.
What is a line that runs north and south called?
A line running north and south/ up and down is called a vertical line.
The line that connects the north and south pole on one side is known as what?
A line of longitude.
What imaginary line is halfway beween the north and south poles?
equator
What meridan means?
A geodesic line connecting the north and south poles.
Are the longitude lines located at the North and South poles?
Yes, every line of longitude runs from the North Pole to the South Pole.
Is the international date line horizontal?
No. It has two ends, at the north and south poles.
What is the name for the line that meet at the north and south poles?
Those are "meridians of longitude".
What is the line around the earth midway between the North and South Poles?
the equator
What would happen if the north and south poles were positioned on a straight line?
I thought they were.
