Question

Observe the globe in your school. Think about the following questions and then discuss them.
There are some vertical and horizontal lines on the globe. Which of these lines are more in number?
What labels do these lines have? What similarities and differences do you see in the labels?
Will it be possible to actually draw such lines on the earth?

Answer 1

1. longitudes are more in number (360 and latitudes 181)
2. Longitudes and Latitudes. 
Similarities - they are at right angle to each other also they both are used to locate any place on earth.
Differences - they are not parallel to each other.
3. No.

Answer 2

Hello dear,


● Earth globe -
- Earth globe is a spherical model of Earth which gives us idea about shape & relative locations of earth.

● Answers -
1) Vertical lines (360) are more in number than horizontal lines (181).

2) Vertical lines represent meridians of longitude and horizontal lines represent parallels of latitude.

3) Similarities - Both lines gives us angular distance between two places and thus measured in degrees.
Difference - Parallels of latitude are in east-west direction while meridians of longitude are from north-to-south pole.

4) It would hard to draw these lines on earth as most of the area is inaccessible to us.
