Lattitude lines appear as concentric circles when viewed from above a pole (North Pole or South Pole). So as you approach a Pole, the circumference of the latitude line decreases.

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.
Does lines of latitude run in a no r th-south or east-west direction?
'Lines' of latitude remain where they are at and do not run. Since every point on the same parallel of latitude is at the same north or south latitude, the only directions left for it to extend in length are east and west.
How are lines of latitude and lines of longitute alike?
lines of latitude and lines of longitude are the same because they just are.
Lines of latitude locate places in which derations?
Lat rhymes with fat. Lines of latitude go around the world like belts, and locate positions to the north and south.Longitude lines are long. Unlike latitude lines longitude lines are all the same length as they run from pole to pole. The locate positions to the east and west.
Is earth day the same around the world?
If you mean the length of the day, yes - that is the same around the Earth. The Earth rotates as a rigid body. If by day length you mean hours of sunlight. On the same lines of latitude day length will be the same, but due to the wobble in the rotation of the earth, day length is different along lines of longitude.
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 are the east west lines called on maps and globes?
They represent degrees of latitude.
Which lines-latitude or longitude-are always the same distance from each other no matter where they are on the planet?
The longitude lines are always the same distance from each other.
Where do the east lines of latitude meet the west lines?
they are both the same lines.
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.
What is the longest line of longitude?
The longest line of longitude is the prime meridian, which runs from the North Pole to the South Pole. It has a length of 20,014 km (12,430 miles).
Why are lines of longitude always the same length?
A Longitude line always runs from Pole to Pole which is the same distance anywhere on Earth. On the other hand, Latitude lines get shorter the farther North or South of the Equator they are.
