-- Every meridian of longitude crosses the equator, and every other parallel of latitude.

-- Every meridian of longitude has one end at the north pole.

-- Every meridian of longitude has the other end at the south pole.

The meridians don't 'pass through' the poles, because every one of them stops there.

Do great circles on a globe have to pass through the North and South poles?

All lines of longitude meet at the poles; none pass through. No lines of latitude connect at or pass through either pole.


Does the Pacific ocean pass through the longitude and latitude lines?

yes it does because on a map there are longitude and latitude lines all over the place so YES!


Which is the only continent through which all longitude lines passes?

The only continent through which all longitude lines pass is Antarctica. This is because the lines of longitude converge at the South Pole, which is located on the continent of Antarctica. As a result, all the meridians of longitude meet at this point, making it the only continent through which they all pass.


Do all the longitude lines pass through the south pole?

Well, not exactly. Technically, all meridians of longitude run between the north andsouth poles, so their ends are at the poles, and they don't pass through. But you'recorrect in your description that if you follow any line of longitude south, eventuallyyou wind up at the south pole, because they all meet there.


Do any lines of longitude go through the equator?

Longitude lines appear "vertical" and latitude lines appear "horizontal." Every single line of longitude passes through the equator. If you meant to say latitude, then the answer is no. Not a single one (they run parallel).


What the latitude and longitude of Antarctica?

The latitude of Antarctica is approximately 66 to 90 degrees South. All lines of longitude converge at the South Pole, so all lines of longitude pass through Antarctica. Antarctica is a continent covering 10% of the earth's surface -- about as large as USA and Mexico combined. Latitude and longitude imply specific locations, not general geographies.


Does the prime meridian pass the north pole?

What is the line of longitude that passes through Brazil?

Brazil spans the range of west longitude between about 34.5 to 74 degrees. You're free to drawas many lines as you like within that range, and they'll all pass through Brazilian territory.
