Question

Distinguish between the parallels of latitudes and the meridians of longitudes.

Answer 1

1). parallels of latitudes:::---
Lines of latitude start at 0 degrees at the equator and end a 90 degrees at the North and South Poles. ... The five major parallels of latitudes from north to south are called: Arctic Circle, Tropic of Cancer, Equator, Tropic of Capricorn, and the Antarctic Circle

2)meridians of longitudes.

A (geographical) meridian (or line of longitude) is the half of an imaginary great circle on the Earth's surface, terminated by the North Pole and the South Pole, connecting points of equal longitude. The position of a point along the meridian is given by its latitude indicating how many degrees north or south of the Equator the point is. Each meridian is perpendicular to all circles of latitude. Each is also the same length, being half of a great circle on the Earth's surface and therefore measuring 20,003.93 km (12,429.9 miles).

Answer 2

Points of Parallel to longitude -

1. Latitude is a measure of how far north or south somewhere is from the Equator.

2. Latitude is measured in degrees, and the equator is 0° latitude. The latitude of both the North Pole and the South Pole is 90°.

Points of Meridians Of Longitude -

1. Longitude is a measure of how far east or west it is from the Prime Meridian.

2. Longitude East-west locations are established by using meridians. The meridian that passes through Greenwich, England is called the prime meridian.
