What lines are called the lines of longertude?

Lines of longitude are imaginary lines running from the North to the South Poles of the Earth. They are often referred to as Meridians. They are measured in terms of the angular distance east or west from the prime Meridian which runs through Greenwich, England.


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.


What is the lines that run north and south on a globe and intersect the poles?

If you pick a longitude and mark a dot at every point on Earth with that longitude, the dots will form a line between the north and south poles. The imaginary line is called the "meridian" of that longitude.

There are two lines that both terminate at the poles: the International Date Line and the Prime Meridian.


The distance between the longitudes decreases towards?

The distance between the longitudes decreases towards the poles. This is because the lines of longitude converge towards the poles, resulting in shorter distances between them as you move towards the North or South Pole.
