The lines don't measure anything, any more than the marks on a ruler do.
Latitude and longitude are angles on the Earth's surface, measured between zero-
references and the location you're trying to find or describe. Some maps and globes
have some latitudes and longitudes marked on them, to help you estimate the angles.
Just like the marks on a ruler.
What else can I help you with?
In which directions do lines of latitude and longitude run?
Latitude lines run east-west, but measure north and south. Longitude lines run north-south, but measure east and west.
Are Lines of longitude and latitude are used for locating certain points on the globe?
Yes, lines of latitude and longitude are used to determine specific locations on the Earth's surface. Lines of latitude run east-west and are used to measure how far north or south a location is from the equator. Lines of longitude run north-south and measure how far east or west a location is from the Prime Meridian.
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.
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.
What does latitude and longitude measure?
Location of a point on the surface of the earth.
What do meridian lines measure?
They measure latitude & Longitude.
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.
In which directions do lines of latitude and longitude run?
Latitude lines run east-west, but measure north and south. Longitude lines run north-south, but measure east and west.

What lines measure distances from either side of the radiator to the poles?
latitude and longitude
What lines drawn on maps help locate places?
Latitude lines are imaginary lines that run East to West but measure North to South on the Globe. I remember latitude is fatitude. Longitude lines go North to South but measure East to West. I remember it as LONGitude.

What lines are parallel to the equator?
lines of latitude
Are the lines of Capricorn and cancer lines of longitude or latitude?
latitude?
How can lines of longitude and latitude help find the absolute location?
Lines of longitude and latitude provide a coordinate system that allows you to pinpoint a specific location on Earth. Longitude lines run north-south and measure east or west of the Prime Meridian, while latitude lines run east-west and measure north or south of the Equator. By using the intersection of these lines, you can determine the absolute location of a place on the Earth's surface.
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.
