A meridian is a half of an imaginary great circle on the earth's surface, terminated by north pole and South pole,connecting points of equal longitude,as measured in angular degrees east or west of the prime meridian.

Three features of meridian are :-

  1. All meridians are of same length and each one is a semi-circle.
  2. If any two opposite meridians are taken together,they form a complete circle,which is a great circle.
  3. The distance between any two meridians is maximum at the equator,which is about 11 km for one degree of longitude.
