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.
What display lines of longitude as parallel to each other?
A mercator projection is a cylindrical map which was developed as a navigation tool. It displays line of longitude as parallel to each other.
Who far apart are the longitude lines?
They go up and down latitude lines go sideways
What lines measure distance east and west of the prime meridian on a globe or map?
All of the other meridians; the lines of longitude.
Why isn't lines of longitude parallel?
Because The lines of Longitude cross over each other at the top of the world which makes them not parallel. Parallel: Lines that never cross or meet And always stay the same distance apart.
What lines are parelle to the prime meridian?
No lines are parallel to the Prime Meridian. All of the meridians of longitude are farthest apart at the equator, and all converge at the north and south poles. Parallel lines would be the same distance apart everywhere, and never meet.
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 widest apart?
At the Equator.
What display lines of longitude as parallel to each other?
A mercator projection is a cylindrical map which was developed as a navigation tool. It displays line of longitude as parallel to each other.
Who far apart are the longitude lines?
They go up and down latitude lines go sideways
What lines measure distance east and west of the prime meridian on a globe or map?
All of the other meridians; the lines of longitude.
Why are the lines of longitude closer at the bottom than the top?
All meridians of longitude meet at the north pole, and also at the south pole. So on a map or globe where some of the meridians are drawn, it will be noted that they are farthest apart at the equator, and the closer to either pole you look, the closer together the meridians are there.
Why isn't lines of longitude parallel?
Because The lines of Longitude cross over each other at the top of the world which makes them not parallel. Parallel: Lines that never cross or meet And always stay the same distance apart.
What line measures distance east and west of prime meridian on a globe or map?
The lines of longitude measure degrees east and west of the prime meridian, but they don't directly measure distance. The lines of longitude all converge at both poles, and are farthest apart from one another at the equator. This is unlike the lines of latitude no two of which ever touch because they are circles that are parallel to one another with their centers located on the earth's axis. You can calculate distance between degrees of longitude, but you need to know the degrees latitude in order to do that.
What two planets are farthest apart?
Mercury and Uranus are the two planets that are farthest apart.
Are the north-south globe lines always the same distance apart?
No. They're farthest apart as they cross the equator, and they all come together at the north and south poles.
How do lines of latitude and longitude divide the world into grids?
On maps, lines of latitude divide the Earth into "rings" of mainly 18 parts with each "ring" having 10 degrees latitude. Lines of longitude then cut across the lines of latitude and thus forming grids. There are mainly 36 lines of longitude spaced at 10 degrees longitude apart. In the end, there are 648 grids on a map if split up in this way.
