How are the equator and the prime meridian alike?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Both the Equator and the Prime Meridian are imaginary lines that we use to form a grid over the surface of the world. This grid is used to pin-point any location in the world.
The Equator and lines of latitude run horizontally round the Earth, while the Prime Meridian and lines of longitude run vertically from the North Pole to the South Pole. Therefore, latitude and longitude is only alike as they are both needed in navigation and to find the coordinates of any place.

Answer 3

They are the two points of origin for coordinates to locate a specific point on the earth.
The Prime Meridian is zero degrees longitude and the Equator is zero degree latitude
