What do lines of longitude tell us on a map?
Lines of longitude tells us where we are in relation to the Prime Meridian, either to the west or east.For an exact position on Earth, both lines of latitude and longitude (in degrees plus minutes and seconds) are used.
What is the purpose of lines of longitude and latitude?
The function of latitude is to tell us far north south the equator we are. The function of longitude is to tell us east and west of the prime meridian we are.
What does longitude and latitude lines help us do?
Latitude and longitude are angles used to describe the location of any point on Earth. They are the 'address' of the point.
What information do lines of longitude on a map give us?
Condimation
What do latitude and longitude tell us?
The lines on a map or globe that go vertically and match with the lines of latitude to tell the exact pin points of a place.
What does the degrees of longitude tell you?
Degrees of longitude tell us how far east of west of the Prime Meridian a location is.
How can you tell the difference between latitude lines and longitude lines?
Latitude lines run parallel to the equator and measure a location's distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run perpendicular to the equator and measure a location's distance east or west of the prime meridian. Latitude lines are represented by horizontal lines on maps, while longitude lines are represented by vertical lines.
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 are the lines on maps and globes that help us find places?
Lines of latitude and longitude help us locate places on maps and globes. Latitude lines run horizontally and measure the distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run vertically and measure the distance east or west of the prime meridian. By using these lines, we can pinpoint the exact coordinates of any location on Earth.
What is characterized as vertical imaginary lines on the Earth's surface?
Lines of longitude, or meridians.
Why are the lines of longitude not parallel?
Parallel lines, by definition, cannot meet. The lines of longitude meet at the Poles.
