What else can I help you with?
Do any lines of longitude pass through the equator if yes then what are the names of then and why?
All lines of longitude pass through the Equator.
When moving north or south from the equator what does the lines of longitude do?
Any two lines of longitude you choose get closer togetheras they proceed from the equator to the poles.
What are further apart at the equator than at the poles?
Lines of longitude are further apart at the equator than at the poles. This is because the Earth's circumference is greatest at the equator, causing the lines of longitude to be spaced farther apart to cover the same distance around the Earth.
Where are lines of longitude farthest apart?
Lines of longitude are farthest apart at the equator and closest together at the poles. This is because the lines of longitude converge at the poles and spread apart at the equator due to the Earth's shape being an oblate spheroid.
If you travel 10 degrees of longitude along the equator the distance traveled will be very diffrent from the distance traveled through 10 degrees of longitude at 60 degrees n latitude why?
Yes, because lines of longitude converge at the poles. The distance between longitude lines will always decrease the further you are from the equator. Lines of latitude remain equidistant.This is why no map is always accurate. Think of peeling an orange and try laying it flat on the table.

On what line of longitude is the equator located?
It's not located on any paticular line. All longitude lines pass through it.

What parallel divides Earth into two equal parts?
The equator or any of the lines of longitude (which meet at the poles).
Do any lines of latitude pass through the equator?
The equator itself IS a line of latitude.
As you move north or south from the equator the lines of longitude become what to one another?
closer
Lines of longitude that passes through south Africa?
-- Sweden ranges in longitude from 11° to 24.2° East. -- Greece ranges in longitude from 19.4° to 26.6° East. -- Zambia ranges in longitude from 22° to 33.7° East. So, any 'line' of longitude between 22° E and 24.2° E passes through all three of those countries. There are an infinite number of them.
Is the equator located at 0 degrees longitude 0 degrees latitude or 180 degrees longitude?
No. Believe the accepted is Zero(0). Hence the North Pole is at +90, and the South Pole is at -90. Or 90N and 90S. Latitude Lines are accepted to be measured in Degrees/minutes. Therefore if a radius "line" at the Equator is "lifted" 1.0 degree in a Northerly direction, the point of the line at the circumference at 1.0 degree North. If one were to draw a line from that point around the entire perfect sphere(which the Earth is not), then a line of Latitude could be referenced as 1.0 Degree North Latitude.
What are the special name of latitude and longitude?
The special name given to lines of latitude is "parallels," and the special name given to lines of longitude is "meridians." These lines form a grid system that helps in locating any point on the Earth's surface.
