there are ninety lines in each hemisphere
There are 90 degrees of latitude in the northern Hemisphere, and another 90 in the
southern one.
There are 180 degrees of longitude in the eastern Hemisphere, and another 180 in the
western one.
In each hemisphere, you're free to draw as few or as many lines in that range
of numbers as you want to see. There's no standard set of 'lines' that everybody
must use. Some maps and globes have more lines on them, some have fewer,
some don't have any at all.
Would you go into the hardware store and ask the man "How many lines are there
on the tape measure ?" ?
What else can I help you with?
Are latitude lines called meridian?
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
Which lines-latitude or longitude-are always the same distance from each other no matter where they are on the planet?
Lines of latitude are always the same distance from each other, as they run parallel to the equator. Each degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles apart. Lines of longitude converge at the poles and are farthest apart at the equator.
When lines of longitude and latitude cross they make a?
Lines of longitude and latitude cross each other and denote the absolute location of the area crossed by the coordinates. Each area on earth has it own absolute location.
How many degrees of longitude are there in one hemisphere?
The northern and southern Hemispheres each comprise 90 degrees of latitude. On your map or globe, you're free to draw as few or as many lines as you'd like to see in that range. There is no standard set of 'lines'.
Of longitude and latitude which is parallel?
Lines of constant latitude are all parallel to each other.

Of longitude and latitude which is parallel?
Lines of constant latitude are all parallel to each other.
How many lines of latitude in a hemisphere?
there are 180 degrees of latitudes 90 in each hemisphere 181 in total counting the equator
What are lines that measure a location's distance north or south of the equator called?
Lines of longitude, called meridians, run perpendicular to lines of latitude, and all pass through both poles. Each longitude line is part of a great circle. There is no obvious 0-degree point for longitude, as there is for latitude. If any line is north or south it has to be latitude, because longitude goes all the way around the earth, from pole to pole.
Do all lines of longitude meet at the equator?
Each line of latitude (the ones parallel to the Equator) crosses each line of longitude (the north - south lines).
Are latitude and longitude lines curve or straight?
Latitude lines are parallel straight lines that run east-west, while longitude lines are not parallel to each other and appear curved when projected onto a map. Longitude lines converge at the poles and are widest at the equator.
Is it true that the lines of latitude called meridians never touch?
No, this statement is false. Meridians are lines of longitude that converge at the poles, meaning they touch at the poles. Lines of latitude, however, like the equator, never intersect and are always parallel to each other.
The lines that intersect latitude lines on a map are lines of what?
Lines of Latitude encircle the Earth horizontally, and are parallel to the Equator. Lines of Latitude are intercepted by Lines of Longitude. Lines of Longitude run vertically from the North Pole to the South Pole. The Prime Meridian is zero longitude and passes through the Greenwich Observatory, Greenwich, London, England.
What angle do lines of longitude cross with lines of latitude?
Meridians of constant longitude cross parallels of constant latitude. Parallels of constant latitude cross meridians of constant longitude. At each intersection of a meridian and a parallel, the lines are perpendicular (form 90° angles).
