Longitudinal lines run from pole to pole, parallel to the Prime Meridian. They help locate positions east or west of the Prime Meridian on a map or globe.

In which directions do longitudinal lines go?

The longitudinal lines run north-south across the globe, splitting Earth up into the eastern and western hemispheres.


Do the longitudinal lines run parallel to the Equator?

No. Longitudinal lines run parallel to the Prime Meridian. Latitudinal lines run parallel to the Equator.


How many degrees are there in a horizontel line?

Longitudinal lines themselves are imaginary constructs, having no real width, and therefore, no angle to measure. The angle between longitudinal lines on a globe depend on how many longitudinal lines are used to encircle the globe. Assuming that all longitudinal lines are equidistant, the angle can be found by dividing 360 degrees by the number of longitudinal lines. Typically, a globe will be given 36 lines of longitude, so the angle between longitudinal lines is equal to 360 degrees divided by 36 lines, or 10 degrees.


What are imaginary lines that go through the north pole and south pole called?

longitudinal lines run north/south; Latitudinal lines run east/west


What are lines opposite of the transversal lines?

Either parallel lines or longitudinal lines are opposite transversal lines.


How many degrees of longitude does the Earth rotation cover?

A complete globe, including Earth, always has 360 degrees. There can be an infinite number of longitudinal lines because longitudinal lines are imaginary constructs and not physical features of Earth itself, so the number of degrees between those longitudinal lines is dependent on the number of longitudinal lines, assuming the longitudinal lines are equidistant. To calculate the number of degrees between these equidistant longitudinal lines, divide 360 degrees by the number of longitudinal lines. A model globe of Earth is typically given 36 lines of longitude. Using the calculation given above, the angle between adjacent longitudinal lines is 360 degrees divided by 36 lines of longitude, or 10 degrees. If 24 lines of longitude are used to represent the 24 time zones, the angle between adjacent longitudinal lines is 360 degrees divided by 24 lines of longitude, or 15 degrees.

Which lines are longitudinal lines?

In general, longitudinal lines run in the direction of the length (longer dimension) of a thing. On a globe or map representing Earth or another celestial object, longitudinal lines run north-south, from pole to pole. Because they meet at two points, they are neither parallel nor equidistant.


Do the longitudinal lines run parallel to the Tropic of Capricorn?

No, the longitudinal lines do not run parallel to the Tropic of Capricorn. Longitudinal lines run north-south from the North Pole to the South Pole, while the Tropic of Capricorn is a specific latitude line that runs parallel to the Equator.


What are the imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator called?

Longitudinal or longitude lines are the imaginary lines that are perpendicular to the equator. Latitudinal or latitude lines are parallel to the equator.


North and south lines that intersect latitude lines on a map?

The lines that are perpendicular to the latitude lines on a map are called longitudinal lines. There are 24 of them, each representing 15 degrees of change.


What is another name for mederians?

"Meridians" are the long lines on a globe or map that help pinpoint coordinates. Meridian lines are also called longitudinal lines.
