No. Rows run horizontally and columns run vertically.


What Longitude latitude equator and the prime meridian are all parts of?

Longitude, latitude, the equator, and the prime meridian are all components of the Earth's coordinate system, which is used for geographic定位. Longitude lines run vertically from the North Pole to the South Pole, while latitude lines run horizontally, measuring distance north or south of the equator. The equator is the zero-degree latitude line, and the prime meridian is the zero-degree longitude line, serving as reference points for navigation and mapping. Together, they help pinpoint locations on the Earth's surface.


How are the equator and the prime meridian alike?

The prime meridian and the equator are alike because they are both invisible lines that split the earth in half. The equator is horizontal (side to side) and the prime meridian is vertical (up and down). The equator divides the Northern and Southern Hemisphere and the Prime Meridian divides the Western and Eastern Hemisphere.


Does the Prime Meridian run through Tokyo?

No, the Prime Meridian does not run through Tokyo. The Prime Meridian passes through Greenwich, London, and serves as the starting point for measuring longitude.


What lines on a map that run parallel to the Prime Meridian?

The only lines that can run parallel to the Prime Meridian on any map are other meridians of longitude, and the only map on which they can be printed parallel to it is a Mercator Projection. They are not really parallel to the Prime Meridian.

What direction do lines of longitudr fo vertically or horizontally?

Lines of longitude run vertically, from the North Pole to the South Pole. They measure the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian, which is at 0 degrees longitude. In contrast, lines of latitude run horizontally, measuring distance north or south of the Equator.

Which is used to measure distances in degrees from the prime medirian?

The measurement used to determine distances in degrees from the prime meridian is called longitude. Longitude lines run vertically from the North Pole to the South Pole and are measured in degrees, with the prime meridian at 0 degrees. Distances east and west of the prime meridian are expressed in degrees up to 180 degrees in either direction.


How are latitude and longitude related?

Latitude gives the angle, and therefore the distance from, the equator, which is a north to south distance. Longitude gives the angle, and therefore the distance, from the arbitrary Prime Meridian, thus defining locations by their distances east to west. Latitude lines, such as the equator, run horizontally on maps. Longitude lins, such as the International Date line, run vertically.
