How many semicircles run from pole to pole?

Geometry teaches there are an infinite number of semi-circles for a sphere. Hence in the grid system that creates the longitude lines that form semi-circles, it becomes the same as what is taught in geometry = infinite number. If you limit yourself to using a llimited definition to units of whole degrees, then 360 semi-circles. However, I suspect that the answer you need is Infinite.
