Which one line is parallel latitude or longitude?
All 'lines' of latitude are parallel to all others.No meridian of longitude is parallel to any others.-- All 'lines' of latitude are parallel to all others.-- No meridian of longitude is parallel to any other one.
Of longitude and latitude which is parallel?
Lines of constant latitude are all parallel to each other.
Are latitude and longitude lines curve or straight?
Latitude lines are parallel straight lines that run east-west, while longitude lines are not parallel to each other and appear curved when projected onto a map. Longitude lines converge at the poles and are widest at the equator.
Which lines-latitude or longitude-are always the same distance from each other no matter where they are on the planet?
Lines of latitude are always the same distance from each other, as they run parallel to the equator. Each degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles apart. Lines of longitude converge at the poles and are farthest apart at the equator.
Do Lines of Longitude run parallel to each other?
Latitude lines run parallel to the Equator while longitudinal lines (also called meridians) run north-south. The latitude angle ranges from 0 degrees at the Equator to 90 degrees at either the north or south pole.
Which lines of longitude and latitude vary in length?
-- All meridians of longitude have the same length ... they all join the north and south poles. -- Each parallel of north latitude has the same length as the parallel at the equal south latitude, but no other one.
Where do the lines of latitude converge which means come to a single point?
Lines of latitude are all parallel to each other, so do not converge. Lines of longitude do converge, at the north and the south poles.
What is the other name for line?
The imaginary semi-circular "lines" of constant longitude are "meridians". The imaginary full-circular "lines" of constant latitude are "parallels".
Do all lines of latitude and longitude intersect at right angles?
No. All of them do but two. The latitude lines at 90 degrees North and South actually coincide with the intersection of all longitudinal lines. So technically, because they coincide, they do not form any angle.
Is it true that the lines of latitude called meridians never touch?
No, this statement is false. Meridians are lines of longitude that converge at the poles, meaning they touch at the poles. Lines of latitude, however, like the equator, never intersect and are always parallel to each other.
Lines of latitude are parallel to it?
Lines of latitude are all parallel to each other, and are parallel to the horizon on many printed maps.
Why wre latitudes otherwise called as parallels?
Because unlike lines of longitude which converge on the poles, lines of latitude are parallel to each other: that is, they never converge.
