Longitudes are imaginary lines that run vertically from the North Pole to the South Pole on the Earth's surface. They measure the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian, which is located at 0 degrees longitude. Each line of longitude is equidistant from one another, converging at the poles, and they are used in conjunction with latitudes to pinpoint specific locations on the globe. Longitudes also help in timekeeping, as each degree of longitude corresponds to a time difference of four minutes.
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.
How many longitudes are there?
The same as the total number of different lengths that can be measured on a3-foot ruler. If you name two longitudes, then no matter how close togetherthey are, I can always name another longitude that's in between yours. Sothere's no limit to the number of different longitudes that we can name.
True or falsetheUS is entirely in the west longitudes?
False. The United States stretches across multiple longitudes, from around 67 degrees west in the easternmost point to 125 degrees west in the westernmost point. So, it is not entirely in the west longitudes.
Do the longitudes intersect each other?
If they did, then you'd have two different longitudes at the same point, which isgenerally a no-no.The only places where that happens is at the north and south poles, where all longitudesconverge (meet, come together).
What is time difference between two longitudes?
The difference in local mean time between two longitudes is the difference in longitudes divided by 15 degrees per hour (15 degrees/hour). The difference in standard times between any two places depends on the government or governments that has/have jurisdiction over the places involved.
How many longitudes are?
There are 360 longitudes
Why are longitudes called meridians of longitudes?
as all the places on the same longitude have their noon at the same time
Where do longitudes meet?
At the poles.
What longitudes and latitudes is Afghanistan between?
to the nearest minute between longitudes 60e31 & 74e53 & between latitudes 29n22 & 38n29

Why are longitudes parallel?
They aren't, latitudes are.
Who created the latitudes and the longitudes?
ptolemy
What is the range of longitudes found in NYS from the east to the west?
New York State spans a range of longitudes from approximately 71°W on the eastern edge to about 79°W on the western edge. This range encompasses the entire state, from places like Montauk Point in the east to the western border near Buffalo. The longitudinal variation reflects New York's diverse geography and regional characteristics.
