What else can I help you with?
Which lines measure distance of the prime meridian?
Longitude measures the distance east and west of the prime meridian.
Do lines of longitude measure the distance of North and South or east and west on a globe?
east west
What does latitude and longitude measure?
Location of a point on the surface of the earth.
What lines measure distance east and west of the prime meridian on a globe or map?
All of the other meridians; the lines of longitude.
Is longitude horizontal?
Lines of longitude are vertical but they measure horizontal distance(In degrees,not kilometers or miles)between Greenwich Mean Time(GMT) and you so the lines are vertical,not horizontal. However,longitude measures horizontal distance,not vertical distance.
What distance are lines of longitude used to show?
None. they are a measure of angular distance and not of linear distance.
Which lines measure distance of the prime meridian?
Longitude measures the distance east and west of the prime meridian.
What are the imaginary lines that measure distance on maps and globes?
east and west
How can you tell the difference between latitude lines and longitude lines?
Latitude lines run parallel to the equator and measure a location's distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run perpendicular to the equator and measure a location's distance east or west of the prime meridian. Latitude lines are represented by horizontal lines on maps, while longitude lines are represented by vertical lines.
Do the longitude lines on a globe measure the distance north and south or east and west?
They measure east and west
What does lines of longitude measure?
Lines of longitude, also known as meridians, measure the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian, which runs through Greenwich, England. They help determine a location's position in terms of longitude on the Earth's surface.
What distance are lines of longitude used to know?
None. The distances between the lines of longitude are a meaningless concept. These lines measure angular distance around the world around the equator. Each degree of longitude is approx 111 km at the equator and 0 km at the poles.
What are imaginary lines that run east to west and measure distance north and south of the equator called?
the answer is longitude and latitude lines
