What two things do lines of longitude and landitude run?
Lines of latitude run round the earth parallel to the Equator. Lines of longitude run from pole to pole, crossing the Equator at 90 degrees.
Are theimaginary lines that run from the north pole to the south pole around the world parallel?
No. Lines of longitude or meridians are not parallel.
Of longitude and latitude which is parallel?
Lines of constant latitude are all parallel to each other.
Are latitude and longitude lines curve or straight?
Latitude lines are parallel straight lines that run east-west, while longitude lines are not parallel to each other and appear curved when projected onto a map. Longitude lines converge at the poles and are widest at the equator.
What is a longitude lines?
Lines of Longitude are imaginary lines that run from the North Pole to the South Pole. The main line of longitude, the Prime Meridian (zero longitude), passes through the Greenwich Observatory, London, England.
Lines are and run north-south?
Longitude; not parallel

Of longitude and latitude which is parallel?
Lines of constant latitude are all parallel to each other.
Why are the lines of longitude not parallel?
Parallel lines, by definition, cannot meet. The lines of longitude meet at the Poles.
Are latitude and longitude lines curve or straight?
Latitude lines are parallel straight lines that run east-west, while longitude lines are not parallel to each other and appear curved when projected onto a map. Longitude lines converge at the poles and are widest at the equator.
These are vertical lines parallel to the prime meridian?
Vertical lines parallel to the prime meridian are lines of longitude.
What is a longitude lines?
Lines of Longitude are imaginary lines that run from the North Pole to the South Pole. The main line of longitude, the Prime Meridian (zero longitude), passes through the Greenwich Observatory, London, England.
Lines running parallel to the equator are called?
You have answered the question for yourself ; They are 'Latitudes''. Longitudes (Meridians) are lines that run North to South from the North Pole to the South Pole. Longitudes come to a point at the poles, but spread out to a maximum at the Equator.
What lines on a map that run parallel to the Prime Meridian?
The only lines that can run parallel to the Prime Meridian on any map are other meridians of longitude, and the only map on which they can be printed parallel to it is a Mercator Projection. They are not really parallel to the Prime Meridian.
What way do lines of longitude and longitude run?
Lines of latitude run east-west, parallel to the equator, while lines of longitude run north-south, meeting at the poles. Together, they create a grid system used to locate positions on the Earth's surface.
In which directions do lines of latitude and longitude run?
Latitude lines run east-west, but measure north and south. Longitude lines run north-south, but measure east and west.
