The prime meridian is widest when it meets with the equator, just as all ines of longitude are. If you look at a peeled orange it looks very similar to the lines of longitude on a globe. The lines gradually come together at the top and bottom of the globe, eventually meeting at a certain point, in this case the North Pole.

What else can I help you with?
Why is the distance between two meridians at the North Pole is 0 miles.?
because the north pole is 90 degrees latitude
Why is the distance between two meridians 0 mile?
It is because all lines of longitude originate and converge there.
Is Meridians bisect the globe and contain 360 degrees?
Meridians are lines of longitude that run north-south and connect the North Pole to the South Pole. There are 360 meridians that divide the Earth into 360 degrees of longitude, with the prime meridian at 0 degrees.
Why is the distance between meridians constant?
Because the meridians are not parallel. They're the slices you make when you want to cut an orange into sections, where each slice goes through the same point on top and the same point on the bottom, and the pieces taper, from wide at the skin to nothing at the middle. The parallels are literally parallel. They're the slices you make when you want to cut the orange into "rounds", where the slices are all parallel, and the pieces are all circular disks of different sizes.
What is the distance between 45 degrees north and 45 degrees 30 minutes north?
The distance between 45 degrees and 45 degrees 30 minutes north is half a degree or 30 nautical miles.
The center of Africa is between which two meridians?
The center of Africa is between the Indian and Atlantic meridians.
What is the difference between North 41 degrees and North 42 degrees in distance?

What is the latitude of oslo?
The latitude of Oslo, Norway is approximately 59.9 degrees north.
What is the distance between (-54) (-36)?
First of all, a meridian can be drawn at any longitude, there's no standard set of them, and there are actually an infinite number of possible different ones. So in order to get anywhere with this question, you'd have to specify which two of them you're interested in. But even if you named two meridians, there's no single answer to the question, because the distance between any pair of meridians changes. They're farthest apart where they cross the equator, and ALL meridians come together at a single point at the north and south poles. The distance in one degree of longitude is about 69 miles on the equator, and it shrinks smoothly to zero at the poles. The distance between any two meridians is (69 miles) x (degrees of longitude between them) x (cosine of the latitude where you measure it).
What is the difference between latitude and parallels longitude and meridians?
Latitude refers to the angular distance of a location north or south of the equator, measured in degrees. Parallels are lines of latitude that run parallel to the equator. Longitude refers to the angular distance of a location east or west of the Prime Meridian, measured in degrees. Meridians are lines of longitude that converge at the poles.
What are lines running from north pole to south pole that measure degrees of longitude?
meridians
How many degrees north of the equator is turkey?
The degrees north of the equator for Turkey is between 37* and 42* north of the equator. This is a distance of 2500 miles.
