Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

• Longitude is the measurement east or west of the prime meridian.
• Longitude is measured by imaginary lines that run around the Earth vertically (up and down) and meet at the North and South Poles. These lines are known as meridians.

• These imaginary lines are called Meridians of Longitude. The most important line of longitude is the Prime Meridian (0 degrees) which passes through Greenwich, England. All other lines of longitude are located east or west of this line.

• The prime meridian is the line drawn north to south at 0° (0 degrees) longitude.

• The longest degree of longitude is about 111 kilometers (69 miles) at its widest.
• The widest areas of longitude are near the Equator, where the Earth bulges out.
