If you pick a longitude and mark a dot at every point on Earth with that longitude,
the dots will form a line between the north and south poles. The imaginary line is
called the "meridian" of that longitude.
No, the north-south globe lines, known as longitude lines, are not always the same distance apart. The distance between longitude lines decreases as you move towards the poles. At the equator, longitude lines are farthest apart, while at the poles, they converge at a single point.
All meridians of longitude meet and end at the north and south poles. Although they do converge, they can't be said to 'intersect', because they all stop there and don't go any further.
All lines of longitude meet at the poles; none pass through. No lines of latitude connect at or pass through either pole.
Lines of longitude converge at the poles. They are all great circles that intersect at the North and South Poles and are equidistant from each other. This convergence creates lines of longitude that are all equal in length.
No. All of them do but two. The latitude lines at 90 degrees North and South actually coincide with the intersection of all longitudinal lines. So technically, because they coincide, they do not form any angle.
Lines of Longitude meet/intersect at the North & South Poles ONLY.
East to west. The north to south lines intersect at the poles.
Meridians - or lines of longitude.
The lines that run north and south "or long ways" are longitude lines. East and west are latitude lines.

All meridians of longitude begin and end at the same two points ... the north and south poles. Although they all appear parallel to each other as they cross the equator, I guess it's more comfortable to say that they're not parallel, since they all intersect.

No they do not
The lines on a globe that run north and south are called lines of longitude, or meridians. They measure distance east or west from the arbitrary Prime Meridian or Greenwich Meridian, established as 0° longitude.
