Each meridian of constant longitude is a semicircle that joins the Earth's north and south poles. They stay put.
Semicircle that runs pole to pole?
The semicircle that runs pole to pole on Earth is called a meridian, specifically the line of longitude that connects the North Pole and South Pole. This meridian is 180 degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian, which runs through Greenwich, England.
What is one thing in common between a meridian and the equator?
They are both imaginary lines on the Earth's surface. To say that they are both circles... an answer you might have been expecting ... would be a wholly inappropriate statement, because a meridian of longitude is only a semicircle.
Why is the prime meridian a half circle?
The prime meridian is considered a half circle because it represents the line of 0 degrees longitude, which divides the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. This line runs from the North Pole to the South Pole, forming a semicircle on the globe. Since the Earth is a sphere, half of its circumference is 180 degrees, allowing the prime meridian to serve as a reference point for measuring longitude both east and west.
Are the lines longitude half the the size of the equator?
Yes. Almost exactly. The equator is a full circle around the Earth, but a meridian of longitude connects the north and south poles, so it's a semicircle. The only reason a meridian isn't exactly half the length of the equator is that the Earth's polar diameter is not exactly the same as its equatorial diameter. The Earth is slightly 'shorter' than it is 'wide', which is also occasionally true of some people you see walking around.

What do you know about lines of longitude?
Every meridian ('line') of longitude is a semicircle on the earth's surface, running between the north and south poles. Every meridian runs through all possible latitudes, and every point on a meridian has the same longitude.
