Which lines-latitude or longitude- are always the same distance no matter where they are?

It's longitude
Longitude goes vertically from one point and down so it is always going to be the same distance...Latitude goes horizontally so it isn't the same distance.
HOPE THIS HELPED!

Which lines-latitude or longitude-are always the same distance from each other no matter where they are on the planet?
The longitude lines are always the same distance from each other.
How far is the horizon from shore?
You can't reach the horizon. No matter where you are or what you do the horizon will always be there in front of you. The distance between the shore and the horizon is infinite.
What planet is on maximum distance from the earth?
No matter where earth and Neptune are in their orbits about the sun, Neptune will always be the furthest planet from us. The reason is that the distance between Uranus and Neptune is much greater than the distance between the earth and sun.
What happens to the distance between latitude as you approach the pole?
Nothing happens. No matter how far north or south you are, 1 degreeof latitude is always the same distance ... roughly 69.1 miles.
Why 180 longitude are not designated east or west?
180 degrees is both east and west longitude. It doesn't matter which way you gofrom the Prime Meridian ... if you go 180 degrees, you arrive at the same longitude.

When is speed equal to magnitude of velocity?
Speed is equal to the magnitude of velocity almost always. Speed is total distance / total time no matter which way the distance goes. Velocity is the distance from a starting point divided by total time.

Nothing happens. No matter how far north or south you are, 1 degreeof latitude is always the same distance ... roughly 69.1 miles.
Does the mass of an object change as the distance from the center of gravity change?
No, because mass is the amount of matter contained in a body. So whatever may be the distance from the center of gravity it always remains the same.
What is the line of longitude that divides the US in in two?
Any line of longitude (or of latitude, for that matter), that crosses the United States, will divide it in two.
Which longitude coordinate is the closest to the prime meridian?
The Prime Meridian itself is defined as zero longitude. (0°) You can't get any closer to it than that. The higher the number of degrees of longitude, the farther a given longitude is from the prime meridian. The maximum is 180° either east or west. There is no minimum. Whatever longitude you name, no matter how close it is to the Prime Meridian, I can always name one that's closer to it than yours is. It's like asking "What is the smallest number ?" There's no such thing.
Why 180 longitude are not designated east or west?
180 degrees is both east and west longitude. It doesn't matter which way you gofrom the Prime Meridian ... if you go 180 degrees, you arrive at the same longitude.
Is there any distance at which the gravitational force between two electrons is greater than the electric force between them?
No. Both forces obey an inverse-square law, so the ratio of electric to gravitational force will always be the same, for the same pair of particles - no matter the distance.No. Both forces obey an inverse-square law, so the ratio of electric to gravitational force will always be the same, for the same pair of particles - no matter the distance.No. Both forces obey an inverse-square law, so the ratio of electric to gravitational force will always be the same, for the same pair of particles - no matter the distance.No. Both forces obey an inverse-square law, so the ratio of electric to gravitational force will always be the same, for the same pair of particles - no matter the distance.
When matter is heated does it contract?
No, when matter becomes heated it always expands, meanwhile when matter becomes cool it always contracts.
Why applying force to an object does not always result in work being done?
When a force (no matter how large it may be) is applied to any object without a distance being moved,it cannot be workdone because,workdone = force x distance.
