What else can I help you with?
Why are the north and south poles only located by latitude?
The north and south poles are the point where all lines of longitude meet and therefore cannot have a longitudinal coordinate. They are also the maximum angular distance from the equator, from which latitude is measured.
Do lines of latitude meet at the south pole?
No. Just like parallel lines on a flat surface, any two lines of latitude that you choose are the same distance apart everywhere, they never cross, and they never touch. That's why they're often called "parallels" of latitude.
Where do the lines of latitude converge which means come to a single point?
Lines of latitude are all parallel to each other, so do not converge. Lines of longitude do converge, at the north and the south poles.
Does latitude's lines converge at a point?
No. Every line of constant latitude is parallel to all others. No two of them ever touch or cross.
What is the relationship between lines of longitude and latitude?
they are both imaginary lines that run round the earth, to show where a point is on the earths surface. the unit to show these are degrees. latitude are lines running across the earth and longitude are lines running down the earth. an easy way to remember this- lAtitude goes Across(they both have letter a) lOngitude does dOwn"(they both have o)

All lines of latitude meet at what line?
Lines of constant latitude are parallel. No two of them meet anywhere.All lines of constant latitude cross all lines of constant longitude.
Difference between latitude and lines of latitude?
A point on the earth's surface that's 19 degrees north of the equator has a latitude of 19 degrees north. There are an infinite number of points that are all 19 degrees north of the equator. If you mark a little tiny dot on the globe at a few thousand different points that are all 19 degrees north of the equator, they'll start to look like a solid line on the globe. That line is called the "19th parallel" of north latitude.
What are Imaginary lines which run at right angles to the equator?
They are lines of constant latitude, all parallel to the equator.
What is north andsouth line from which all other north and south lines are measured?
I'm not sure what you mean by a "north and south line". On the Earth's surface: -- The equator is the circle of zero reference for latitude, from which the north and south latitude of all places are measured. -- The Prime Meridian is the semi-circle of zero reference for longitude, from which the east and west longitudes of all places are measured.
Is longitude measured in degrees?
The lines aren't measured at all, any more than the marks on a ruler need to be.It's the latitude and longitude that need to be measured, and lines are oftenprinted on maps in order to make the job easier. Latitude and Longitude are angles,so they're described in angle units, most commonly in degrees and fractions of degrees.If you see a line on a map, every point on the 'line' has the same latitude or the samelongitude, so there's nothing on the line to measure.
What is the point called when latitude and longitude lines touch?
There is no term for where "latitude and longitude meet" since they are not absolutely defined points or lines; instead, they are coordinates which must be used in tandem to define a point and can vary over any part of the earth's surface (or any object which is given a system of latitude and longitude).
What is the degrees of what latitude lines start from?
All lines of latitude start from the 0 degree latitude line, known as the equator.
