Any line of longitude stays put and does not go anywhere. If you pick a line of
longitude, then walk along it and never step off of it, you're walking either straight
north or straight south. The line of longitude connects the north and south poles,
so if you wanted to, you could cover more than 12,000 miles and stay on the same
line of longitude all the way.

Who far apart are the longitude lines?
Longitude lines are farthest apart at the equator, where the distance between them is about 69 miles (111 kilometers). As you move towards the poles, the longitude lines converge until they meet at the poles.

In which directions do the lines of latitude and lines of longitude -used on maps and globes-run?
Longitude are the vertical lines, like the Greenwich Meridian, and latitude are the horizontal ones, like the Equator. I remember this as the Earth is fatter around the Equator, and squashed at the Poles, so the Longitude lines go the short way, which is opposite to the way you would think! 2c9dd5a9-a7f3-4ff1-9a12-e0799b48ab5b 1.03.01 2c9dd5a9-a7f3-4ff1-9a12-e0799b48ab5b 1.03.01
