What shape do longitude lines form?
Longitude lines form semicircles that run from the North Pole to the South Pole, intersecting at the poles. They are also known as meridians.
What lines run parallel to longitude?
No. Meridians of constant longitude are semicircles that join the north and south poles. Every one of them crosses the equator.
Lines running between the two poles are called as?
The lines running between the two poles are called meridians. These meridians are used in geographic coordinate systems to measure longitude and determine the angular distance east or west of the Prime Meridian (0 degrees longitude).
How are longitude and latitude lines the same and how are they different?
Similarities:Both sets of lines may be printed on maps and globes in any desired color,with any desired thickness and at any desired interval, and can even notbe present at all.Difference:Longitude lines are semicircles, and are all the same length ... about 12,250 miles.Latitude lines are full circles, and their lengths range from zero to about 24,500 miles.
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

Lines of longitude are semicircles that extend from the north pole to the south pole?
No. Longitude is east and west of the equator. Lines of Latitude run from the north pole (prime meridian) to the south pole. Try thinking of latitude as the word "ladder" because ladders go up and down. Just a hint ;)

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.
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 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.
