Each line of latitude (the ones parallel to the Equator) crosses each line of longitude (the north - south lines).

All lines of longitude meet at the north pole and equator?

All the lines of longitude that meet at the poles are numbered, by degrees, minutes and seconds. Primary among these is the Prime Meridian -- 0 degrees -- and its opposite, the International Date Line -- ~180 degrees, which wanders a little for political reasons.


Do any lines of longitude pass through the equator if yes then what are the names of then and why?

All lines of longitude pass through the Equator.


At what point of earth do all lines of longitude meet?

All lines of longitude meet at the North and South Poles.


Do any lines of longitude go through the equator?

Longitude lines appear "vertical" and latitude lines appear "horizontal." Every single line of longitude passes through the equator. If you meant to say latitude, then the answer is no. Not a single one (they run parallel).


Do the longitude lines meet at the north and south pole?

By definition, a line of longitude is an imaginary great circle on the surface of the earth passing through the north and south poles at right angles to the equator such that "all points on the same meridian have the same longitude".Therefore, all lines of longitude meet at a point at each of the poles.


Do all meridians converge at the poles?

What are further apart at the equator than at the poles?

Lines of longitude are further apart at the equator than at the poles. This is because the Earth's circumference is greatest at the equator, causing the lines of longitude to be spaced farther apart to cover the same distance around the Earth.


Where do lines of longitude converge (meet)?

-- All lines of longitude meet at the north and south poles. -- No two lines of latitude ever meet or cross each other. -- Every line of longitude crosses every line of latitude. -- Every line of latitude crosses every line of longitude. -- There are an infinite number of each kind, so there are an infinite number of places where a line of longitude crosses a line of latitude. (That's kind of the whole idea of the system.)


What are the names of the longitude that pass through the equator if yes then why?

All lines of longitude pass through the Equator.


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..


What is a line around the earth with all points equidistant from the equator?

All lines of Longitude are perpendicular to the Equator.
