Answer:

The minimum distance between two lines of longitude decreases as one moves towards the poles. Because all meridians of longitude converge at the poles. The distance decreases as we move from the equator to the poles.

Explanation:

If you simplify the concept from a sphere (3D) to a two-dimensional plane you will observe the same effect. In an angle drawn upon a plane, where the angle is not equal to zero, the distance between the two rays of the angle will decrease as the distance the points are measured approaches the vertex.
