Meridians on a globe get closer and eventually merge at the North and South Poles. On a map (a flat plane) the meridians are drawn parallel and there is distortion at the poles, most noticeable on a world map.

A map
The globe
Draw the globe stand, then place the globe in it. Then draw the landmarks and do some shading to make the globe look 3Dimensional.
It shows where in the world the area of a map is.
its a line that separates the the world in the world on a map or globe too
Meridians are not parallel. Apart from that, what is the question?
Meridians - or lines of longitude.
Those are meridians of constant longitude.
360 meridians in a Globe. -Tomi Jade
Meridians are not parallel. They join at the poles. Parallels of latitude is a common phrase. Meridians of longitude look parallel on the the map, but they're not on the globe.
Meridians on a cylindrical projection appear as straight vertical lines on the map, while meridians on a globe are smooth curves meeting at the poles. The distortion of meridians increases as you move away from the equator on a cylindrical projection, making them seem more elongated.
On a Mercator projection, meridians appear as straight, parallel lines running from top to bottom of the map, spaced evenly apart. This is because the Mercator projection is a cylindrical map projection that preserves straight lines of constant bearing, resulting in meridians being stretched vertically towards the poles.
On a globe, parallels and meridians meet at right angles only at the equator and the poles. On a Mercator projection map, all meridians intersect the equator at right angles, while parallels intersect meridians at right angles throughout the map.
the diffrence between a map and a globe is that a map is basicly paper and the globe is round and that you can spin it around.There`s that and the texture
Meridians Meridians ;p
72 number of meridians can be drawn on the globe at 5 degree interval
