What else can I help you with?
What are lines of longitude and latitude?
Parallels and meridians.
Are longitudes and latitudes parallels lines?
Latitude lines are parallel but not longitude lines.
What are Imaginary lines which run at right angles to the equator?
They are lines of constant latitude, all parallel to the equator.
What is another name lines of latitude and longitude?
Parallels and meridians, respectively.
Are latitude lines called meridian?
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
What are the east west lines called on maps and globes?
They represent degrees of latitude.
What is another name for parallel lines?
latitude lines is another name for parallels and longitude lines are called meridians
Another name for latitude lines is?
Lines of longitudes are also called Meridians. These vertical lines are drawn from the North to South poles.The meridian through Greenwich, England, called the Prime Meridian, was set at zero degrees of longitude. The meridian on the opposite side of the earth from Greenwich is called the International Date Line (IDL), which is at roughly 180° longitude.
What angle do lines of longitude cross with lines of latitude?
Meridians of constant longitude cross parallels of constant latitude. Parallels of constant latitude cross meridians of constant longitude. At each intersection of a meridian and a parallel, the lines are perpendicular (form 90° angles).
Why are latitude lines considered paralles and longitude lines are not?
Just like parallel lines on a flat surface, no two parallels of latitude ever meet.Just like non-parallel lines on a flat surface, any two meridians of longitude do meet.In fact, ALL meridians of longitude meet, at both the north and the south poles.
Lines of latitude are also called what?
Parallels and meridians. Circles parallel to the Equator (lines running east and west) are parallels of latitude. They are used to measure degrees of latitude north or south of the Equator. Meridians of longitude are drawn from the North Pole to the South Pole and are at right angles to the Equator.
Lines of longitude called what?
Meridians of longitude; parallels of latitude. Remember that meridians are all the same length (20,000 km) and that they meet at the poles. Parallels are, well, parallel, and are different lengths, the longest being the Equator.
