Lines of longitude called what?

Meridians of longitude; parallels of latitude. Remember that meridians are all the same length (20,000 km) and that they meet at the poles. Parallels are, well, parallel, and are different lengths, the longest being the Equator.


How many meridians can be drawn on the globe at 5 degree interval?

72 number of meridians can be drawn on the globe at 5 degree interval


How many meridians can be drawn on a globe at interval of 15 degrees?

On a globe, meridians are lines of longitude that run from the North Pole to the South Pole. Since a full circle is 360 degrees, dividing that by 15 degrees gives you 24 meridians. However, there are also two additional meridians at 0 degrees (the Prime Meridian) and 180 degrees, resulting in a total of 24 meridians at 15-degree intervals.


Do all of the parallels and meridians cross each other at right angles on both the globe and the Mercator?

On a globe, parallels and meridians meet at right angles only at the equator and the poles. On a Mercator projection map, all meridians intersect the equator at right angles, while parallels intersect meridians at right angles throughout the map.


How many meridians can be drawn on a globe at an interval of 10 degrees?

A globe can have 36 meridians drawn at 10-degree intervals. This is because meridians are lines of longitude that extend from the North Pole to the South Pole, and they are measured from 0 degrees (the Prime Meridian) to 360 degrees. Dividing the 360 degrees by 10 degrees gives 36 meridians.
