Question

state two properties of the lines of longitude

Answer 1

Latitude
1. It is an angle measured in degrees with reference to Equator of the Earth towards North or South
2. The Latitude runs East-West but specifies North South position of a point.
3. Latitude of:
- Equator = 00
- North Pole = 900N or +900
- South Pole = 900S or -900

4. Each Latitude is parallel to other latitude, therefore, it is also called Parallel
5. Only one latitude having max dia passes through the equator that's why the equator is known as the Great Circle which theoretically bisects the earth into Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere
6. Latitude in measure from 00 to 900

Longitude
1. It is an angle measured in degrees with reference to Prime Meridian towards East or West
2. It runs North-South but specifies East West Position of a Point
3. Longitude of:
- Prime Meridian = 00
- East = 900E or +900
- West = 900W or -900
4. It is also known as meridian. No meridian is parallel to other rather all longitudes converge to North Pole and South Pole
5. Every Line of Latitude is a Great Circle
6. Longitude is measure from 00 to 1800

Answer 2

1)the meridians are drawn vertically.
2)the meridians are used to determine local time and to mark time zones.
3)meridians are not parallel to each other. All meridians meet at the poles.
4)every meridian is a semi circle.
5)if drawn 1 degree apart, there would be 360 meridians.
