longtitude and latitude are the lines used to pin point your location on the globe, are these the lines you are refering to?
Longitude measures the distance east and west of the prime meridian.
Longitud is used to measure the distance of east and west from the prime meridian
Longitud is used to measure the distance of east and west from the prime meridian
Lines of longitude measure distance east and west from the Prime Meridian, which runs through Greenwich, England. Each line of longitude represents one 360th of a full circle around the Earth.
If one of them is the "prime" meridian, what do you suppose the others might be called? If you guessed "meridians", you win.
The lines of longitude measure degrees east and west of the prime meridian, but they don't directly measure distance. The lines of longitude all converge at both poles, and are farthest apart from one another at the equator. This is unlike the lines of latitude no two of which ever touch because they are circles that are parallel to one another with their centers located on the earth's axis. You can calculate distance between degrees of longitude, but you need to know the degrees latitude in order to do that.
They measure latitude & Longitude.
All of the other meridians; the lines of longitude.
Lines of longitude, also known as meridians, measure the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian, which runs through Greenwich, England. They help determine a location's position in terms of longitude on the Earth's surface.
Location of a point on the surface of the earth.
Lines of longitude pass from pole to pole, and the Prime Meridian passes through the Greenwich Observatory. London, UK, and is zero.
