Half of the Earth surface’s imaginary great circle is called the Geographic meridian, which is the longitude line.
Explanation:
- This is terminated by the South Pole, North Pole and the equal longitude’s connecting points.
- This is measured as east or west in angular degrees of the Prime Meridian.
- With both the longitude and latitude, the magnetic declination varies. This is due to the reason that the magnetic poles are not equivalent with true South and North.
- Thus, the angle between the true North and Magnetic North will differ expect the circle going via both.
