What is the distance of longitude at the equator and the poles?

The equator is a line made of points at zero latitude and every longitude, andevery longitude converges (comes together) at the poles..


Does lines of longitude get shorter as they approach north and south poles?

Yes, lines of longitude converge at the poles, so their distance apart decreases as they approach the poles. At the poles, lines of longitude are essentially touching, whereas at the equator they are farthest apart.


Does lines of longitude gets shorter as they approach the north and south poles?

Yes, lines of longitude converge towards the poles, so they are spaced closer together as they near the poles. This convergence causes the lines of longitude to become shorter as they approach the poles.


Lines of longitude meet where?

Lines of longitude meet at the poles, both North and South. At the North Pole, all lines of longitude converge and meet at a single point. The same holds true for the South Pole, where lines of longitude also converge and meet at a single point.


Where are longitude lines closest?

Longitude lines meet at what?

The poles


Longtitude of the southpole?

Longitude at the poles is irrelevant. All of the meridians meet at the poles.


North Pole and South Pole line is longitude or latitude?

Both poles are noted as 90 degrees. At the poles, all lines of longitude meet. You could say that the poles, then, are indicated as 90 degrees of latitude, but since there is no longitude, latitude can be assumed.


Why are meridians also called longitude?

longitude are lines that go from north poles to south poles just like longitude lines meridians are vertical and are form north to south u get it rite?


How many statue miles are there on a degree of longitude at the poles?

Roughly 69 miles, it varies a little because of the earth's shape.
