What else can I help you with?
Is the meridian longitude or latitude?
Every point on a meridian has the same longitude.
Lines of latitude and lines of longitude are perpendicular to?
Every meridian of longitude is perpendicular to every parallel of latitude, and every parallel of latitude is perpendicular to every meridian of longitude.
What degree is the prime meridian located at?
The longitude of the Prime Meridian, by international definition and agreement, is zero (0°). .Every point on the Prime Meridian has a different latitude, and every latitude on Earthhas a point on the Prime Meridian.
What do you know about lines of longitude?
Every meridian ('line') of longitude is a semicircle on the earth's surface, running between the north and south poles. Every meridian runs through all possible latitudes, and every point on a meridian has the same longitude.
Does the prime meridian pass through the North and the South Hemisphere?
Yes. Every meridian of longitude does that.
What degree is the prime meridian at?
The Prime Meridian is at zero degrees longitude and every possible latitude.
What is the latitude of the prime meridian?
The Prime Meridian is made out of all the points at zero longitude and every latitude.
What are the imaginary lines parallel to the prime meridian?
There are no geographic lines that are parallel to the Prime Meridian. Technically, every meridian of longitude is parallel to every other meridian of longitude, but only over an infinitesimal distance north or south of the equator. I'm quite sure that's not what you're looking for.
What is the name of the line that is parallel to the prime meridian?
There are no geographic lines that are parallel to the Prime Meridian. Technically, every meridian of longitude is parallel to every other meridian of longitude, but only over an infinitesimal distance north or south of the equator. I'm quite sure that's not what you're looking for.
Does a magnetic field exist around every object?
Yes, a magnetic field exists around every object that has a magnetic property.
What aRe the endings points on the prime meridian?
Every meridian of longitude is a semi-circle that joins the north and south poles.
Difference between true north and magnetic north?
The North Magnetic Pole moves over time due to magnetic changes in the Earth's core. Recently it was near Ellesmere Island in northern Canada and moving toward Russia at about 35 miles per year. True North is exactly at the axis of the Earth's rotation. A magnetic compass reading (such as a Boy Scout compass) has to have a correction factor applied to get True North. This factor is called the magnetic declination and is different for every place on Earth and is constantly changing. The link below shows a map tracing the declination factors for most of the Earth as they are now. In New York City Magnetic North is different from True North by about 14 degrees. Near the tip of the Florida panhandle Magnet and True north are the same -- that is, no correction is required.
