What else can I help you with?
Why are latitudes concentric but longitudes meet at the poles?
Latitudes are parallel to the equator. Longitudes converge like elastics on a soccer ball.
Do the places near equator have longer days than those places further away from the equator?
Days are longer.
Why The distance between the longitudes reduce from equator towards pole?
The distance between longitudes decreases from the equator toward the poles due to the Earth's spherical shape. At the equator, the circles of latitude are widest, allowing longitudes to be spaced further apart. As you move towards the poles, these circles of latitude become smaller, causing the longitudes to converge. Consequently, the angular distance represented by each degree of longitude diminishes as one approaches the poles.
What country lies on the equator and what is its' latitude and longitude?
There are at least 11 countries all on the equator. Their latitudes are all zero, and their longitudes are all different.
What are the coordinates for equator?
The equator is the line midway between the earth's poles, defined as 'zero degrees latitude'.All possible longitudes intersect the equator.
What where the difference between the longitudes from the equator to the poles?
everything

What are the imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator called?
Longitudinal or longitude lines are the imaginary lines that are perpendicular to the equator. Latitudinal or latitude lines are parallel to the equator.
What continent is 60 w of the equator?
There is no such direction as "west of the equator",since the equator extendsall the way around the globe, and crosses all possible east and west longitudes.
Is the coastline of Europe longer or shorter than the equator?
longer, becuase if you look at a geography map of europe you'll see it.

On the sun is a day longer at the poles than it is at the equator?
Yes.See related question
Why is the prime meridian not an ideal prime line for longitudes as much as the equator is for altitudes?
The prime meridian, located at 0 degrees longitude, is not ideal for longitudes like the equator is for latitudes because it is somewhat arbitrary; it was established primarily for navigational convenience and is not based on any natural geographic feature. The equator, on the other hand, is a natural line that evenly divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, reflecting the planet's rotation and shape. Additionally, longitudes are not equal in distance apart as they converge toward the poles, making them less uniform than latitudes. This lack of uniformity contrasts with the equator, which provides a consistent reference point for measuring distances in a north-south direction.
Is the equator a line of longitude that runs around the middle of earth?
Nope. The equator is the line formed by all points on Earth with zero latitude.It crosses all longitudes.
