What else can I help you with?
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.
What is a fact about longitude?
londirtude is lond and latitude is fat Lines of longitude all run North/South and are all the same length.
What is the same about lines of longitude and lines of latitude?
Lines of latitude and lines of longitude are equally misunderstood by substantial and virtually equal fractions of the general population.
How are lines of latitude and lines of longitute alike?
lines of latitude and lines of longitude are the same because they just are.
Is the length of the degree of longitude the same at any latitude?
No.
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.
Why does the length of the parallel decreases towards the pole?
You may be thinking of the distance between lines of longitude. The length of the lines of latitude decrease because the Earth is round, so the length of the line is shorter at the poles than it is at the Equator. The distance between the lines of longitude is shorter as you move toward the poles, again, because the Earth is round. All lines of longitude are the same length.
Why are lines of longitude always the same length?
Lines of longitude are called meridians and converge at the poles. The length of a meridian is determined by the circumference of the Earth, making all lines of longitude the same length. This is because the Earth's shape is an oblate spheroid, with meridians meeting at the poles and being widest at the equator.
Why does the length of a parallel decrease toward the poles?
You may be thinking of the distance between lines of longitude. The length of the lines of latitude decrease because the Earth is round, so the length of the line is shorter at the poles than it is at the Equator. The distance between the lines of longitude is shorter as you move toward the poles, again, because the Earth is round. All lines of longitude are the same length.
Where do longitude and latitude lines meet?
Every point on Earth has a latitude and a longitude. No two points have the same set of two numbers.
How are latitude and longitude the same?
They are both imaginary lines which circle the earth!
What is the longest line of longitude?
The lines of longitude are all the same length. There is no longest line of longitude. Now, if you mean latitude, then that would be the equator.
