Because they all converge at either the North or South pole.

Where do longitudes meet?

At the poles.


Longitude lines meet where?

All longitudes converge at the north and south poles.


Why are latitudes concentric but longitudes meet at the poles?

Latitudes are parallel to the equator. Longitudes converge like elastics on a soccer ball.


Longitude lines meet?

All longitudes converge at the north and south poles.


Does lines of longitude ever meet?

Yes. All longitudes converge (meet) at the north and south poles.


Do the longitudes intersect each other?

If they did, then you'd have two different longitudes at the same point, which isgenerally a no-no.The only places where that happens is at the north and south poles, where all longitudesconverge (meet, come together).


Why longitude are not parallel?

Parallel lines never meet. On the other hand, every pair of longitudes meets at the Earth's North and South Poles.


What is the line between the two poles called?

The lines joining the two poles are longitudes.


What where the difference between the longitudes from the equator to the poles?

everything


Do you find any difference in the distance between the longitudes from the equator to the poles?

Yes you do. One degree of longitude spans about 69 miles along the equator, but no distance at all at the poles. The longitudes are evenly distributed around the globe, but they all converge (meet) at both poles. So it's easy to understand why they must draw closer and closer together as you move from the equator to either pole.


He didstance between two consecutive longitudes ar the poles?

zero


Why length of longitudes the same?

The length of longitudes is considered to be the same because all longitudes meet at the poles and form complete circles around the Earth. Each longitude line represents an imaginary half-circle that extends from one pole to the other, dividing the Earth horizontally into equal sections. This design ensures that each longitude line is the same length when measured on a globe or map.
