What is formed when longitudes and latitudes meet?
Longitudes and latitudes meet at every point on the planet. since both latitude and longitude are human ideas, not real objects, nothing is formed at those intersections. however, if you know which particular latitude and longitude meet at some specific point of interest, then you know the map coordinates of that place.A mathematician would say that any line of longitude and any line of latitude form a right angle where they meet.
What is the network of latitudes and longitudes?
The network of latitudes and longitudes refers to a system of geographical coordinates that are used to pinpoint locations on the Earth's surface. Latitudes are horizontal lines that measure the distance north or south of the equator, whereas longitudes are vertical lines that measure the distance east or west of the prime meridian. Together, these coordinates provide a precise way to identify any place on the planet.
Why there are only 180 latitudes and 360 longitudes on earth?
Because when you travel in longitude, you can go all the way around the Earth, 360 degrees, crossing new longitudes all the way . But when you travel in latitude, the farthest you can travel is from one pole to the other pole ... halfway around the Earth, 180 degrees. Once you reach the opposite pole, if you keep going farther, you're just crossing latitudes that you've already crossed once.
How is the knowledge of latitude and longitude important for people?
It's not important at all. But it's very helpful, and just about the only convenient way, if you're trying to tell someone else the location of a point on Earth, or figure out the distance between two points on Earth, or decide exactly what direction to head out from one place in order to reach another place in the shortest trip.
Who used math to determine longitudes and latitudes of the earth?
The concept of using math to determine longitudes and latitudes of the Earth was developed by ancient Greek mathematicians such as Eratosthenes and Hipparchus. However, it was not until the 18th century that accurate methods were developed by astronomers and mathematicians, such as John Harrison and Leonhard Euler, to accurately calculate longitudes and latitudes.

Why are some lines of reference required to locate places on earth?
To find out exact location of the certain place in the earth, it needs some lines of reference i.e. latitudes & longitudes.
What is imaginary lines called?
On the earth (and planetary/stellar bodies) they are called latitudes and longitudes.

Which imaginary lines crosses through Africa?
Latitudes and longitudes cross the whole Earth. The Equator crosses only those places close to the middle.
How many latitude and longitude are there in delhi?
Between any two points on Earth, no matter how close together they are, there are an infinite number of latitudes and an infinite number of longitudes.

Which imaginary line runs all the way around the earth?
The equator is the best known such imaginary line. However, latitudes (including the Arctic Circle) are also imaginary lines encircling the earth as are longitudes.

How many lines in latitude and longitude?
Latitude and longitude are angles that describe the location of a point on the Earth's surface. Longitudes range from zero to 180 degrees east or west. Latitudes range from zero to 90 degrees north or south. There are no official 'lines'. Some maps or globes have some lines printed on them to show where a few latitudes and longitudes are, and other maps and globes have no lines at all printed on them. I have mapping software that can print 324,000 latitude lines and 648,000 longitude lines if I want them, but I have never needed them yet.
