If you have a map or globe with some longitude lines printed on it, you'll find
that they stay where they are and do not move from day to day. Regardless
of how many there may be on your particular map or globe, each of them joins
the north and south poles, and has the same length ... about 12,500 miles.
Latitude: East-west Longitude: North-south
Lines of longitude run north-south and measure east-west.
Lines of longitude are also known as meridians. They run north-south and measure east-west.
If you travel along a line of longitude from the South Pole, you would travel directly northwards.
Each meridian of constant longitude is a semicircle that joins the Earth's north and south poles. They stay put.
Latitude: East-west Longitude: North-south
Longitude lines run from pole to pole.
Lines of longitude run North-South.
east-west
North-south, pole to pole
Longitude lines connect the North and South Poles and measure distances east or west of Greenwich.
Lines of longitude run north-south and measure east-west.
Lines of longitude are also known as meridians. They run north-south and measure east-west.
Lines that run up and down on a map are called "longitude lines" or "meridians." These lines help indicate the east-west position or direction of a location on the Earth's surface.
on an atlas you'll see lines across maps,the vetical lines are the longitude (east and west).the latitude will be the horizontal lines known as north and south.....Wrong way round. Longitude is north/south and latitude is east/west.
Every meridian of constant longitude joins the north and south poles.
If you travel along a line of longitude from the South Pole, you would travel directly northwards.
