A Longitude line always runs from Pole to Pole which is the same distance anywhere on Earth. On the other hand, Latitude lines get shorter the farther North or South of the Equator they are.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
Nominally, yes. The only variation is due to the Earth not being a perfect sphere.

They're all the same length, they converge at the poles.

londirtude is lond and latitude is fat Lines of longitude all run North/South and are all the same 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.
All lines of longitude run from North pole to South pole, and are all the same length.
Parallel
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.
