What else can I help you with?
Is this statement true or false Longitude lines are imaginary lines that measure distances south and north of the equator.?
False. Longitude lines are imaginary lines that measure distances east and west of the Prime Meridian. The lines that measure distances north and south of the equator are called latitude lines.
What are the lines on a map that measure distances east and west?
Longitude lines.
What lines measure distances north or south of the equator?
Longitude
What lines measure distances from either side of the radiator to the poles?
latitude and longitude
Lines of longitude run north and south and measure distances what?
east and west of the prime meridian
What lined measure distances east and west of prime meridian?
Longitude lines. They are also called meridians.
Which way is longatude and which way is latitude?
longitude is the long way...or horizontal. latitude is vertical, or up and down.
Why can't you measure distance between lines of longitude?
You can, but the distances are not constant - they are zero at the poles and increase as you go towards the equator.
What distance are lines of longitude used to know?
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.
What direction does longitude travel on the globe?
Longitude lines connect the North and South Poles and measure distances east or west of Greenwich.
What lines measures distance east and west of the prime meridian?
Longitude lines. They are also called meridians.
How a place on the globe is located with the help of a grid?
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.
