Which lines-latitude or longitude-are always the same distance from each other no matter where they are on the planet?
Lines of latitude are always the same distance from each other, as they run parallel to the equator. Each degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles apart. Lines of longitude converge at the poles and are farthest apart at the equator.
Why does the length of a parallel decrease toward the poles?
You may be thinking of the distance between lines of longitude. The length of the lines of latitude decrease because the Earth is round, so the length of the line is shorter at the poles than it is at the Equator. The distance between the lines of longitude is shorter as you move toward the poles, again, because the Earth is round. All lines of longitude are the same length.
Why are the lines of longitudes equal?
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.
Which lines-latitude or longitude- are always the same distance no matter where they are?
It's longitude Longitude goes vertically from one point and down so it is always going to be the same distance...Latitude goes horizontally so it isn't the same distance. HOPE THIS HELPED!
Are the north-south globe lines always the same distance apart?
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.
Are lines of longitude always the same length?
Nominally, yes. The only variation is due to the Earth not being a perfect sphere.

What are some features of lines of longitude?
They're all the same length, they converge at the poles.

What is a fact about longitude?
londirtude is lond and latitude is fat Lines of longitude all run North/South and are all the same length.

Which lines of longitude and latitude vary in length?
-- All meridians of longitude have the same length ... they all join the north and south poles. -- Each parallel of north latitude has the same length as the parallel at the equal south latitude, but no other one.
Which is r?
All lines of longitude run from North pole to South pole, and are all the same length.
What are 2 lines that lie in the same plane and always the same length apart?
Parallel
What is the longest line of longitude?
The lines of longitude are all the same length. There is no longest line of longitude. Now, if you mean latitude, then that would be the equator.
