Geometry teaches there are an infinite number of semi-circles for a sphere. Hence in the grid system that creates the longitude lines that form semi-circles, it becomes the same as what is taught in geometry = infinite number.
If you limit yourself to using a llimited definition to units of whole degrees, then 360 semi-circles. However, I suspect that the answer you need is Infinite.
Longitude lines form semicircles that run from the North Pole to the South Pole, intersecting at the poles. They are also known as meridians.
No. Longitudinal lines run parallel to the Prime Meridian. Latitudinal lines run parallel to the Equator.
At the poles, the idea of longitude is essentially meaningless. Take a few steps either way; your longitude will depend on which way you walked. Of course, from the pole itself every direction is "South", which makes navigation a little challenging.....
The lines of longitude run from pole to pole.
Lines of latitude run round the earth parallel to the Equator. Lines of longitude run from pole to pole, crossing the Equator at 90 degrees.
Longitude lines form semicircles that run from the North Pole to the South Pole, intersecting at the poles. They are also known as meridians.
No. Longitude is east and west of the equator. Lines of Latitude run from the north pole (prime meridian) to the south pole. Try thinking of latitude as the word "ladder" because ladders go up and down. Just a hint ;)
2, because semi means half.
Magnetic field lines run from the north pole to the south pole outside a magnet, while inside they run from the south pole to the north pole.
Longitude lines run from pole to pole.
Meridians of longitude run from pole to pole Parallels of latitude run east-west
Semi means half. So there are two semicircles in a circle.
