Question

Is the length of all lines of a latitudes equal or unequal to each other? Give reasons for your answer. What about the lines of longitudes?

Answer 1

No, they are not. Only the lines of longitude are of equal length. Each line of longitude equals half of the circumference of the Earth because each extends from the North Pole to the South Pole. The lines of latitude are not all equal in length. Since they are each complete circles that remain equidistant from each other, the lines of latitude vary in size from the longest at the equator to the smallest, which are just single points, at the North and South Poles

Answer 2

Lines of latitudes equal to each other

Explanation:

• In the geometric stands, the lines of the latitudes are an imaginary lines and they are forms a circle and the larges ones being the equator or the zero degree circles and the longitudes are the vertical semicircular lines that pass through the poles and thee intersection along the equator gives us the prime meridian.

• The line that is horizontal are almost equal to each other as they divide the two poles into equal half. As they tend to get shorted towards the polar zones. Thus they are also called the parallels and they are equidistant to each other.

• Thus they are or equal in length from the east to west direction, as compared to that of the longitudes that are from north to south.
