What else can I help you with?
What do you call the lines that make up the grid on your maps?
Those are called latitude and longitude lines. Latitude lines run east-west, measuring north and south of the Equator. Longitude lines run north-south, measuring east and west of the Prime Meridian. Together, they help determine specific locations on a map.
What is the starting point for measuring latitude?
The starting point would be the equator. Lines of latitude run parallel to the equator.
What is the starting point for measuring lines of longitude called?
The Prime Meridian (long) The Equator (lat)
What are Lines on globe like checkerboard?
Lines on a globe that resemble a checkerboard pattern are likely to be latitude and longitude lines. Latitude lines run horizontally around the globe, measuring the distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run vertically, measuring the distance east or west of the prime meridian. These lines help pinpoint specific locations on Earth's surface.
Are latitude lines called meridian?
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
A line of longitude use that in a sentence?

Which line on maps and globes is the starting place for meauring latitude?
The Equator is the starting point for measuring latitude on maps and globes. It is located at 0 degrees latitude and divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
Are the parallel lines on a globe called longitude or latitude lines?
Latitude.
Lines of latitude and lines of longitude are perpendicular to?
Every meridian of longitude is perpendicular to every parallel of latitude, and every parallel of latitude is perpendicular to every meridian of longitude.
What lines are part of a grid system on the map?
Latitude and longitude
