Are the lines of longitude the same distance apart at the equator as they are at the poles?
No. All of the meridians merge in a single point at the poles.
What is the difference between parallel lines and lines?
Parallel lines remain the same distance apart and never intersect each other whereas other types of lines intersect each other at some point.
What is it called when lines form right angles at the point of intersection are what lines?
The lines are called perpendicular lines.
What lines share a common point?
Lines that share a common point are called an intersection, or intersecting lines.
What is it called where lines meet at a point?
intersceting point

How would you know if lines a perpendicular or parallel?
perpendicular lines intersect each other at 90 degrees whereas parallel lines never intersect each other and remain equal distance apart from each other. Obviously the way to test if two lines are parallel is to measure their distance from each other at at least two points (the farther apart the better) to confirm that they remain equal distance apart, but to test if lines are perpendicular, with a compass with the point at the point where the two lines intersect, draw an arc (or three parts of an arc) that intersects one of the lines in two places and the other line in one place. If the distances between the lines at the points where they are intersected by the arc are equal, the lines are perpendicular.
What is defined as the convergence of lines in the distance?
A vanishing point is defined as a convergence of lines in the distance.
Where are lines of longitude farthest apart?
Lines of longitude are farthest apart where they intersect the line of the equator.
What term is the as the convergence of lines in the distance?
vanashing point
Lines that meet at one point?
There is no specific name for lines that meet at one point, but lines that meet at a point, the point is called the intersection point.
What is it called when lines form right angles at the point of intersection are what lines?
The lines are called perpendicular lines.
What lines share a common point?
Lines that share a common point are called an intersection, or intersecting lines.
What term is defined as the convergence of lines in the distance?
vanashing point

intersceting point
Lines that pass through the same point?
these lines are called intersecting lines
