It's not one of the longitudes that the manufacturer
decided to show by printing its meridian.

What is the line of longitude used as the origin in a system of coordinates?
A longitude is a line that circles the globe from north to south. Longitudes are used to specify a location in degrees from east to west on the globe. See picture above. If the picture hasn't been changed the lines (not the equator) are longitudinal lines.

What are the lines that circle the globe in east-west and north-south directions?
"Lines of Latitude" and "parallels" are both used. Please note that the "lines" are imaginary; you'll never see one on the ground. Just on a map.
Explain how you can determine if your location is east or west longitude?
You see whether your location is located to the east or west of the Prime Meridian. If it is located east of the Prime Meridian, then it is east longitude, and the same goes for west.
Each point on Earth has a unique and unchangeable address because of what?
Latitude[ East to West ] and Longitude [ North to South ] .Each spot has a latitude and longitude and degrees and minutes. You can see the marks on globes and maps.

What are the lines call on a US maps?
If you are looking at a globe, you will see the latitude and longitude lines evenly spaced. If it's not a globe, you may be looking at streets or boundaries between local governments.

Advantage and disadvantage of a map?
an advantage is you can see everything on 1 thin paperan disadvantage is you cant see it as 3-d like a globe
What direction do lines of longitude go?
on an atlas you'll see lines across maps,the vetical lines are the longitude (east and west).the latitude will be the horizontal lines known as north and south.....Wrong way round. Longitude is north/south and latitude is east/west.
What website allows you to enter the longitude and latitude for two points on the globe to know the distance between them?
It can be done with Daft Logic. See the related link below.
Where would you be able to see where the lines of longitude meet more clearly on a map or on a globe?
The answer to this depends on what projection of map you are using and how wide the columnal support on the globe is. Typically though, you'll have a better chance of seeing the lines of longitude converging at the poles on a globe. If you want to see the actual point of convergence, a better choice would be a map projection that has special carve-outs on the bottom for the poles or a "pole perspective projection" which is similar to the map of the Earth used on the UN Flag.
How do you find longitude and latitude without Google Maps?
You have to look at the globe or map and see that it is divided into Northern Hemisphere and the Southern, then East and west. Look at the lines and what are you going to measure ask your self if it is east to west or north to south. find the lines of latitude that measures it and remember to do latitude then longitude first if it is not matching up exactly just make something accurate line say if the line is 30 and it's in 35 write 35 :) Hope that helped
