Where is the minimum distance between two meridianswhy?
the minimium distance between the two meridians is at the poles because all the meridians comerge at the poles
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 center point from which all meridians begin?
The ends of all meridians of longitude converge at the north and south poles. Their centers are all on the equator.
What is the actual distance between lines of the longitude?
It depends on one's latitude, I believe. Distance at the Poles, Zero, at the Equator about 700 miles.
Why is a great circle used for navigation?
Because any 'Great Circle' is the shortest distance across a sphere. Where the Earth is concerned , all the meridians and the Equator are Great Circles. The Plane of a 'Great Circles ' 'cut' the sphere into two equally sized hemispheres. NB Other than the Equator all the latitudes are NOT great Circles.
