What do you call the vertical lines around the globe?
meridians or lines of longitude
What is a different word for longitude lines?
"Lines" of constant longitude are "meridians".
What is characterized as vertical imaginary lines on the Earth's surface?
Lines of longitude, or meridians.
What is the name of the beginning of longitude lines?
All of the longitude "lines" merge at the north and south poles, so you might say that they 'start' at one of these points and end at the other one. If the question means to ask: "Where is the line of zero longitude ?", then the answer is: The origin of longitude is defined as the Prime Meridian, an imaginary line between the north and south poles that passes through the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England.
Why are the lines of longitude not parallel?
Parallel lines, by definition, cannot meet. The lines of longitude meet at the Poles.
These are vertical lines parallel to the prime meridian?
Vertical lines parallel to the prime meridian are lines of longitude.
What are lines of longitude and which ways do they run?
lines of longitude are lines drawn north and south and measure east and west a famous line of longitude is the Prime meridian
What does all lines of longitude pass through?
-- Every meridian of longitude crosses the equator, and every other parallel of latitude. -- Every meridian of longitude has one end at the north pole. -- Every meridian of longitude has the other end at the south pole. The meridians don't 'pass through' the poles, because every one of them stops there.
What is the highest longitude lines?
The highest longitude lines are the prime meridian at 0 degrees longitude and the 180 degrees longitude line. These lines mark the starting point for longitude measurements to the east and west, respectively.
what direction do lines of longitude run on the earth?
Longitude lines run from pole to pole.
How many lines of longitude go through russia?
5 or 6 lines of longitude
Why does Antarctica cover every line of longitude?
The South Pole is the end point for all lines of longitude -- as is the North Pole -- so all lines meet at both poles. The South Pole is located on the Antarctic continent.
