Lines of latitude and lines of longitude are perpendicular to?

Every meridian of longitude is perpendicular to every parallel of latitude, and every parallel of latitude is perpendicular to every meridian of longitude.


Lines of latitude are perpendicular to it?

Are latitude lines parallel or perpendicular?

Parallel. Latitude and longitude are perpendicular.


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).


What are the imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator called?

Longitudinal or longitude lines are the imaginary lines that are perpendicular to the equator. Latitudinal or latitude lines are parallel to the equator.


Lines running parallel to the equator are called?

You have answered the question for yourself ; They are 'Latitudes''. Longitudes (Meridians) are lines that run North to South from the North Pole to the South Pole. Longitudes come to a point at the poles, but spread out to a maximum at the Equator.


When lines of longitide and latitude intersect they form?

A meridian of longitude and a parallel of latitude are perpendicular at their intersection, forming a right angle.

What are lines of latitutde?

Latitude lines are imaginary lines that are parallel to the equator to fix a position on earth (along with longitude lines which are imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator)


Give some real examples for perpendicular lines?

Longitude and latitude lines are perpendicular to each other. Most road intersections in major cities are set up in a grid, making the cross streets perpendicular.


What are the imaginary lines perpenticular to the equator?

The imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator are called longitudinal lines or longitude. The lines parallel to the equator are called latitudinal lines or latitude. Yes. they are.
