Meridian lines are not straight lines in a three-dimensional sense; they are curved when plotted on a two-dimensional map. On a globe, meridian lines run from the North Pole to the South Pole, following the curvature of the Earth. However, when viewed on a flat map, they can appear as straight lines, particularly on certain map projections. This curvature is essential for accurately representing the Earth's spherical shape.
