Just like parallel lines on a flat surface, no two parallels of latitude ever meet.
Just like non-parallel lines on a flat surface, any two meridians of longitude do meet.
In fact, ALL meridians of longitude meet, at both the north and the south poles.
Every meridian of longitude is perpendicular to every parallel of latitude, and every parallel of latitude is perpendicular to every meridian of longitude.
All lines of longitude are equal. The longest line of latitude is the Equator.
longitude
The longitude lines cover the vertical side of the earth and the latitude lines cover the horizontal side. This gives you map coordination's.
Latitude and Longitude are used to point to exactly where you want to be
lines of latitude
latitude?
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
Latitude.
Every meridian of longitude is perpendicular to every parallel of latitude, and every parallel of latitude is perpendicular to every meridian of longitude.
Latitude and longitude
The lines that intercept latitude lines are lines of longitude.
Lines of Longitude
Longitude lines go vertically and latitude lines go horizontally.
Every parallel of latitude crosses every meridian of longitude.
Lines of latitude and longitude allows any position on the Earth to be plotted.
Lines of latitude and lines of longitude are equally misunderstood by substantial and virtually equal fractions of the general population.
