as all the places on the same longitude have their noon at the same time
What else can I help you with?
Lines that run from north to south are called?
longitudes or meridians
What are meridians of longitudes and parallels of latitudes?
Name the two meridians east of the meridian on this map.
What do you call the vertical lines around the globe?
meridians or lines of longitude
Parallels are used to measure longitude or latitude?
latitude longitudes are known as meridians
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.
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.
Why the lines of longitude are called the meridians of longitudes?
A meridian is a geographical name for a great circle of the Earth passing through the Poles and any given point on the Earth's surface. Derived from the Latin word 'Meridianus'
What are the vertical lines around our globe called?
The vertical lines around our globe are called longitudes or meridians. They help determine a location's east-west position on Earth and are measured in degrees east or west of the prime meridian.
Why do longitudes meet at poles?
Longitudes are lines that run north to south on a globe. At the poles, longitudes converge and meet because all lines of longitude, or meridians, come together at a single point. This means that at the poles, there is no east or west direction left to differentiate between, so the longitudes effectively merge together.
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.
Vertical line around a globe are also called what?
Meridians Meridians ;p
What is the direction of a meridian of longitude which converges on the north pole?
"Meridians" are the [straight] lines of Latitude (vertical, North-South lines) on a map, and Longitudes are the circular lines (horizontal, East-West) going around the world. So there can not be "Meridians of Longitude" that converge at a poll.
