What title is given to those who cross the equator at a significant line of longitude in the navy?
davey jones
What is the name of the parallel that is located at 0 degrees longitude?
All parallels, or latitudes, cross 0 degrees longitude. 0 degrees longitude is the prime meridian. 0 degrees latitude, or parallel, is the equator
Where does longitude and latitude cross?
"Crossing the Line" is associated with crossing the equator at 0 degrees latitude, not longitude. If you cross the equator (0 degrees latitude) at 0 or 180 degrees longitude, there is an additional status included.
What are further apart at the equator than at the poles?
Lines of constant latitude don't cross the equator. Any two lines of constant longitude are farthest apart at the equator, and meet at the north and south poles.
Where are lines of longitude farthest apart?
Lines of longitude are farthest apart where they intersect the line of the equator.

What line passes thru the equator?
All of the meridians of longitude cross the equator.
Line of longitude are furthest away from one another when they cross?
the equator
What is the latitude and longitude of the point of the equator and the international date line?
The point where they cross is zero latitude / 180° longitude.
In what island nation does the equator cross 120 degrees E longitude?
Indonesia
At what line of longitude did Magellan's fleet cross the equator after entering the Pacific Ocean?
The line of longitude that Magellan's fleet crossed into the Pacific Ocean was the equator. The other line of longitude crossed was the Tropic of Capricorn.
What is the name of the parallel that is located at 0 degrees longitude?
All parallels, or latitudes, cross 0 degrees longitude. 0 degrees longitude is the prime meridian. 0 degrees latitude, or parallel, is the equator

Is the equator parallel or a meradian?
Lines of equal Latitude run parallel (ie never cross) East-West (such as the Equator) Lines of equal Longitude (Meridian) run North-South and cross at the Poles.
Does one degree of longitude equal 270 km?
The distance represented by one degree of longitude varies according to distance from the equator. That's because the meridians of longitude are equally distributed around the equator but all converge to a single point at the north and south poles. The greatest distance between any two meridians of longitude, then, is the distance between the points where they cross the equator. Along the equator, one degree of longitude covers about 111.1 kilometers.
Are Meridians never parallel?
Two meridians of longitude are parallel only at the points where they cross the equator, and nowhere else.
What are further apart at the equator than at the poles?
Lines of constant latitude don't cross the equator. Any two lines of constant longitude are farthest apart at the equator, and meet at the north and south poles.
