Answer with explanation
- The arc of the Equator between any two meridians subtends an angle at the center of the earth equal to the difference between their respective degrees of longitude. Ex. if the meridians are a and b, the angle subtended would be b-a.
- A similar angle would be made by tangents to these meridians at the Poles.
- Opposite halves of a meridian are of supplementary degrees of longitude.
- Line of longitude run north-south but provide east-west location reference
- Line of longitude called "meridian" no two meridians are parallel to each other
- Every line of longitude is a great circle

Answer:
lines of longitude have the following characteristics:
1)All meridians are of the same length and each one is a semi-circle.
2)If any two opposite meridians are taken together, they form a complete circle, which is a great circle.
3)The distance between any two meridians is maximum at the Equator, which is about 11 km for one degree of longitude.
4)This distance decreases as we go away from the Equator towards the poles.
5)All the meridians meet at the poles.
