Lines of longitude.
Latitude is measured north and south of the equator.
Lines of longitude are imaginary vertical lines that represent the angular distance, in degrees, minutes, and seconds, of a point east or west of the Prime Meridian (Greenwich). Lines of longitude are often referred to as meridians. The lines of longitude run from the North pole to the South pole and at the poles all the lines of longitude intersect at a single point.
The imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator are lines of longitude, also known as meridians. These lines run from the North Pole to the South Pole and help determine a location's east-west position on the Earth's surface. The prime meridian, located at 0 degrees longitude, is the starting point for measuring longitude.
Imaginary lines that run north to south are known as lines of longitude. Longitude lines are the imaginary lines running through the Earth between the North and South Poles. They are arbitrary and used for reference so everyone can know where they are in the world. The lines running north and south are called "meridians" or "lines of longitude."
Lines of longitude, or meridians.
longitude lines?
Longitude is the angle along the Earth's surface between the Prime Meridian and any point on the surface.The 'lines' don't need to be measured.
Those lines are called longitude and latitude.
The equator and the lines of longitude.
Lines of longitude.
Latitude lines are imaginary lines that are parallel to the equator to fix a position on earth (along with longitude lines which are imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator)
The Prime Meridian is an imaginary line from which angles east and west are measured in order to help define and describe locations. The angle thus measured is called the location's 'longitude'.
Latitude is measured north and south of the equator.
They r both imaginary lines
