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.
Why aren't all parallels equal in length like meridians are?
There's a simple answer: The earth is a sphere and the parallels are, well, parallel to each other. So obviously the ones closer to the poles are shorter than the ones closest to the Ecuator. As for the meridians all meet at one point ehich are the poles, so they are all the same length.
Why was it necessary to specify a particular meridan when determining the length of a meter?
I don't see the need for that - all meridians (for example, at sea level) should have the same length.
What is a triangle with all three sides are equal length?
If all three sides are equal in length, the triangle is said to be Equilateral.
Are any of a octagons sides equal in length?
They can be. A regular octagon has all sides of equal length.

Which is true about lines of longitude?
Every meridian of constant longitude is nominally a semi-circle, equal in length to all other meridians, and joining the Earth's north and south poles.
What are the characteristics of a world globe?
1) all meridians are of equal length; each is one-half the length of the equator 2) All meridians converge at the poles and are true north-south lines 3) all lines of latitude (parallels) are parallel to the equator and to each other 4) parallels decrease in length as one nears the poles 5) meridians and parallels intersect at right angles
Lines of longitude called what?
Meridians of longitude; parallels of latitude. Remember that meridians are all the same length (20,000 km) and that they meet at the poles. Parallels are, well, parallel, and are different lengths, the longest being the Equator.

Differences between parallels and meridians?
-- Parallels are associated with latitudes. Meridians are associated with longitudes. -- Parallels are parallel, and no tweo parallels intersect. All meridians intersect all other meridians, at two places. -- Every point on a parallel has the same latitude. Every point on a meridian has the same longitude. -- Every parallel in the same hemisphere has a different length. Every meridian on Earth has the same length. -- Every parallel is a full circle. Every meridian is a semi-circle. -- Every parallel crosses all longitudes. Every meridian crosses all latitudes. -- The distance between two parallels is the same at every longitude. The distance between two meridians depends on the latitude where it's measured. -- To cross all parallels, you only have to travel 12,000 miles. To cross all meridians, you have to travel 24,000 miles.
What is the hemisphere is tilted toward the sun during the vernal equinox?
Neither. All days are equal length.
Are all 4 sides equal in length on a rhombus?
Yes, all four sides of a rhombus are of equal length.
Where do all meridians meed?
All meridians of longitude converge (meet) at the north and south poles.
What is a triangle with all three sides are equal length?
If all three sides are equal in length, the triangle is said to be Equilateral.
Is an equilateral trianglewith all sides equal in length?
Yes the 3 sides are equal in length.
