Latitude lines run around the earth parallel to the equator, and thus are of varying lengths. They are a measure of how far one is from the equator (north or south.) The equator is the longest line of latitude, and its length is just the distance around the earth. Latitude lines become shorter and shorter, the closer one approaches either pole. They cross lines of longitude at right angles.
What else can I help you with?
Is the prime meridian a line of latitude or a line of longitude?
The Prime Meridian is a line of longitude, and it sits at 0 degrees longitude.
Which line of longitude is found opposite of the Prime Meridian?
The major line of longitude located at 180 degrees longitude is the International Date Line.
Does the time change as you go north or south of the Equator along the same longitude line?
No, the time does not change as you move north or south along the same longitude line. Time zones are determined by lines of longitude, so as long as you stay on the same line, the time remains constant.
