Longitude lines. They are also called meridians.
longitude is the long way...or horizontal. latitude is vertical, or up and down.
You can, but the distances are not constant - they are zero at the poles and increase as you go towards the equator.
None. The distances between the lines of longitude are a meaningless concept. These lines measure angular distance around the world around the equator. Each degree of longitude is approx 111 km at the equator and 0 km at the poles.
Longitude lines connect the North and South Poles and measure distances east or west of Greenwich.
Longitude lines. They are also called meridians.
Longitude measures distances east or west on a map.
A place on the globe is located using a grid system based on lines of latitude and longitude. Latitude lines run horizontally and measure distances north or south of the Equator, while longitude lines run vertically and measure distances east or west of the Prime Meridian. By identifying the specific coordinates (degrees of latitude and longitude), one can pinpoint any location on Earth accurately. For example, a location at 40°N latitude and 74°W longitude corresponds to New York City.
