What is the name given to 108 degries longitude line?

There are two meridians of 108° longitude ... one east of Greenwich, and one west of Greenwich.Neither of them has any name or particular significance.You may be thinking of the meridian at 180° from Greenwich. That one roughly coincides with theInternational Date Line.


What is another name for the lines that run across the globe east-west called besides latitude?

The lines on the globe are not called "latitude", any more than the marks on a thermometer are called "temperature". The lines on the globe that mark intervals of latitude are called "parallels" of latitude.


What is the name of the two sets of imaginary lines on the globe?

-- Most of the imaginary lines on the surface are parallels of latitude, meridians of longitude, political boundaries, and shipping routes. -- The imaginary lines through the center of the globe are the axis and diameters.


What is label used on the map for the meridian of longitude that is 60 degrees east of the Prime Meridian?

That meridian has no special name. If it's shown at all on a map or globe, it'll be labeled "60".


How may meridians are there at an interval of 5 degree?

That's a lot like asking "How many marks are there on a ruler in an interval of 5 inches ?" There is no standard 'set' of meridians. Various maps and globes print more meridians or fewer, and some print none at all. A meridian can be printed on a map at any longitude you name. There is no fixed number of them.

What are meridians of longitudes and parallels of latitudes?

Name the two meridians east of the meridian on this map.


What are the major differences between parallels and meridians?

Parallels are lines of latitude that run east-west around the globe, while meridians are lines of longitude that run north-south. Parallels are always equidistant from each other, while meridians converge at the poles. Parallels help locate positions north or south of the equator, while meridians help locate positions east or west of the Prime Meridian.

What is the difference between latitude and parallels longitude and meridians?

Latitude refers to the angular distance of a location north or south of the equator, measured in degrees. Parallels are lines of latitude that run parallel to the equator. Longitude refers to the angular distance of a location east or west of the Prime Meridian, measured in degrees. Meridians are lines of longitude that converge at the poles.

What is another name for mederians?

"Meridians" are the long lines on a globe or map that help pinpoint coordinates. Meridian lines are also called longitudinal lines.


What is the major differences between parallels and meridians?

Parallels, as the name inplies, run parallel to each other in an east-west orientation. Meridians run through both poles, and so cannot be parallel.
