In elliptical geometry do two points not determine a unique line?
No. In spherical elliptical geometry, for example, given the earth's North and South poles, there are an infinite number of lines of longitudes between them.
Why is the distance between two longitude lines at the north pole 0?
Because all of the longitudes converge in a single point, at both the north andsouth poles. When you stand at a pole, you're standing on every longitude.
How many lines can pass through two distant points?
There can be infinitely many lines: think of the longitudes through he North and South poles. However, there can be only one straight line.
Does each line of longitude parallel to another line of longitude?
Yes No, lines of longitude are as parallel to each other as the earth is flat. All longitudes intersect at the north and south poles.
Why are longitudes equal in length?
Every line of constant longitude joins the north and south poles. Therefore the length of every line of constant longitude is one half of the earth's polar circumference.
What where the difference between the longitudes from the equator to the poles?
everything
What is the line between the two poles called?
The lines joining the two poles are longitudes.
Where do longitudes meet?
At the poles.
The distance between the longitudes decreases towards?
The north and south poles or away from the equator. At the poles the distances between lines of longitude are zero.
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.
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.
Longitude lines meet?
All longitudes converge at the north and south poles.
How Distinguish between latitudes and longitudes?
Lines of latitude run parallel to the equator. Lines of longitude run vertically - passing through both 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).
Where do all the longitude lines hit?
All longitudes converge at the north and south poles.
Why do longitudes meet at poles?
Because they all converge at either the North or South pole.
