-- Each meridian ( 'line' ) of longitude represents all of the infinite number of points
on the Earth's surface that have that one specific longitude.
-- Each parallel ( 'line' ) of latitude represents all of the infinite number of points
on the Earth's surface that have that one specific latitude.
What else can I help you with?
What are the lines on the globe called?
The key lines are latitude and longitude. These are based on specific points. The equator is the latitude around the center of the earth. Longitude is measured from the Prime Meridian, which goes through the Greenwich Observatory in England.The Tropics and the Arctic/Antarctic Circle are also key.
Are latitude lines called meridian?
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
What are the east west lines called on maps and globes?
They represent degrees of latitude.
Why would you use lines of latitude and longitude?
Lines of latitude and longitude allows any position on the Earth to be plotted.
Why are lines of latitude and lines of longitude perpendicular?
Lines of latitude and longitude are perpendicular because they represent different angles to the reference point of the Earth's center. Lines of latitude are parallel to the equator and represent distances north or south from it, while lines of longitude converge at the poles and represent distances east or west from the Prime Meridian. Their perpendicular relationship helps to pinpoint specific locations on the Earth's surface using a coordinate system.
What are horizontal lines on earth called?
horizontal lines represent latitude and vertical lines represent longitude
What lines are parallel to the equator?
lines of latitude
Are the lines of Capricorn and cancer lines of longitude or latitude?
latitude?

Are latitude lines called meridian?
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
Lines of latitude and lines of longitude are perpendicular to?
Every meridian of longitude is perpendicular to every parallel of latitude, and every parallel of latitude is perpendicular to every meridian of longitude.
Are the parallel lines on a globe called longitude or latitude lines?
Latitude.
What are the east west lines called on maps and globes?
They represent degrees of latitude.
What lines are part of a grid system on the map?
Latitude and longitude
What are The lines that intercept latitude lines on a map Are lines of what?
The lines that intercept latitude lines are lines of longitude.
What is the most important thing about longitude and latitude?
Longitude lines go vertically and latitude lines go horizontally.
Do latitude lines ever touch longitude lines?
Every parallel of latitude crosses every meridian of longitude.
