How do longitude and latitude divide the earth into two?
Longitude lines run north-south and divide the Earth into the Eastern and Western Hemispheres, while latitude lines run east-west and divide the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The intersection of latitude and longitude lines creates a grid system that helps identify specific locations on Earth.
What is the distance between two longitudes at the equator?
At the equator, the circumference of the Earth is 40,075.16 km ( 24,901.55 miles). Divide that into 360 equal pieces to get the distance for each one degree of longitude. A degree of longitude at the equator is equal to 111.32 km.
Is the grid system latitude and longitude?
Latitude (shown as a horizontal line) is the angular distance, in degrees, minutes, and seconds of a point north or south of the Equator. Lines of latitude are often referred to as parallels. Longitude (shown as a vertical line) is the angular distance, in degrees, minutes, and seconds, of a point east or west of the Prime (Greenwich) Meridian. Lines of longitude are often referred to as meridians. Distance between Lines If you divide the circumference of the earth (approximately 25,000 miles) by 360 degrees, the distance on the earth's surface for each one degree of latitude or longitude is just over 69 miles, or 111 km. Note: As you move north or south of the equator, the distance between the lines of longitude gets shorter until they actually meet at the poles. At 45 degrees N or S of the equator, one degree of longitude is about 49 miles. Minutes and Seconds For precision purposes, degrees of longitude and latitude have been divided into minutes (') and seconds ("). There are 60 minutes in each degree. Each minute is divided into 60 seconds. Seconds can be further divided into tenths, hundredths, or even thousandths.
The degree of longitude is always listed?
Second, after latitude.
Where can we find the equator and the prime meridian?

Does a line of latitude or of longitude divide?

What is the line of longitude that divides the US in in two?
Any line of longitude (or of latitude, for that matter), that crosses the United States, will divide it in two.

it is the imaginary line that divide the mountain longitude is from up to down is the direction while the latitude is from west to east AM I RIGHT
Which lines of latitude and longitude divide the earth into hemisphere?
The equator (0° latitude) divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere. The Prime Meridian (0° longitude) divides the Earth into the Eastern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere.

they are
Does a line of longitude divide the earth into the northern or Southern hemispheres?
No, longitude (the prime meridian) divides the earth into eastern and western hemispheres.
