The straight line connecting the poles is the earth's rotational axis. The lines along the earth's surface from pole to pole are meridians or lines of longitude.
The straight line between the poles is the Earth's axis of rotation. The curved lines between the poles and along the surface are the meridians of longitude.
In the globe it is called the axis. In a sphere it is called the diameter.
false
rotation is the spiinning of the planet on its axis and revoulution is the orbiting of the planet around the sun
The lines drawn on maps from south to north to measure distance east and west are called meridians. Each meridian is an imaginary line that runs from the North Pole to the South Pole, and they are used in conjunction with lines of latitude, or parallels, which run east to west. The prime meridian, located at 0 degrees longitude, serves as the starting point for measuring degrees of longitude east and west. Together, these lines create a grid system that helps in pinpointing locations on the Earth's surface.
The prime meridian
The straight line between the poles is the Earth's axis of rotation. The curved lines between the poles and along the surface are the meridians of longitude.
Latitude is imaginary lines that measures distance north or south of the equator. Longitude is imaginary lines that measures distance east and west of a line drawn between the North and South Poles and passing through the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, England.
No. The equator is an imaginary line drawn on the Earth's surface, all the way around, mid-way between the north and south poles.
In the globe it is called the axis. In a sphere it is called the diameter.
The Axis
A Meridian or Meridian Line is an imaginary line drawn between two points. In geography these two points are an imaginary arc on the earths surface from the North to the South Poles. In astronomy it is an imaginary circle in a perpendicular plane to those planes of the celestial equator and horizon.
They are imaginary lines drawn on spheres such as the earth, sun, moon, planets to simplify the location of points of interest.
You're talking about the Prime Meridian ... the imaginary line that defines the origin of longitude on Earth.But issue must be taken with your use of the terms "from" and "to". No meridian, including the Prime one, has a defined beginning or end point. They simply join the poles.
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.
The imaginary line drawn throughout the earth from the North to the South pole is called the Earth's axis. The Earth's axis is tilted at an angle of approximately 23.5 degrees from perpendicular to the plane of the ecliptic, which results in the changing seasons.
line of demarcation is an imaginary line running down the middle of the Atlantic from the North Pole to the south. Pope Alexander VI drew it in 1493
