What colour is used for the lines of longitude?
The lines of longitude are represented in green on most maps and globes.
Why do distances appear longer on maps than globes?
It is to do with the scale used on the maps and globes.
Why aren't there major latitude circles as 45 degrees north or south - since those latitudes are halfway between the equator and the poles?
Some maps and globes ... such as those with a line printed every 15° of latitude ... have lines marked at 45° north and 45° south. Some maps and globes ... such as those with a line printed every 10° of latitude ... don't. Some maps and globes have no lines printed on them at all.
What is the interval between lines of latitude and longitude in the world atlas?
There is no official set of "lines". Some globes and maps have more lines, spaced closer together. Some globes and maps have fewer lines, spaced farther apart. Some globes and maps have no lines at all. We have no way of knowing how many latitudes and longitudes are marked on the map that you're looking at today, and the next one you see may be marked at a different interval.
What are fine lines drawn to form squares to locate a place easily on a map?
The fine lines drawn to form squares on a map are known as a grid system. This grid typically consists of a series of horizontal and vertical lines that create a coordinate system, allowing users to easily locate specific places by referencing the intersecting lines. Each square in the grid corresponds to a unique set of coordinates, making navigation and identification of locations more efficient. Grid systems are commonly used in various types of maps, including topographic and city maps.
Does Africa have parallel lines and intersecting lines?
No. The lines on maps are imaginary - they do not exist.
Why was a need fell to draw imaginary lines on the globe?
The imaginary lines of longitude and latitude drawn on maps and globes of the Earth, is to aid navigation and accurately locating spots on the Earth's surface.
What colour is used for the lines of longitude?
The lines of longitude are represented in green on most maps and globes.
Are globes and maps marked with imaginary lines for geographers to use colocate on earths surface?
Yes
Why is it necessary to have latitudes and longitudes on maps or globes?
these are the imaginary lines to check the gmt and location of a place
What are the imaginary lines that measure distance on maps and globes?
east and west
How are isohytes drawn on the map?
Isohytes are lines drawn on maps joining places of equal rainfall.
Why do distances appear longer on maps than globes?

Why do mapmakers use imaginary lines on maps and globes?
These lines are not actually on the planet, but are imaginary lines used to help us find our way around the curved surface of Earth
There are how many degrees between the lines of latitude?
There is no official set of "lines". Some globes and maps have more lines, spaced closer together. Some globes and maps have fewer lines, spaced farther apart. Some globes and maps have no lines at all. We have no way of knowing how many latitudes are marked on the globe or map that you're looking at today, and the next one you see may be marked at a different interval.
What are the lines on maps and globes that help us find places?
Lines of latitude and longitude help us locate places on maps and globes. Latitude lines run horizontally and measure the distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run vertically and measure the distance east or west of the prime meridian. By using these lines, we can pinpoint the exact coordinates of any location on Earth.
