Question

The line passing through two poles on the globe

Answer 1

prime meridian is the line passing through the two poles

Answer 2

Answer:

The 'vertical lines' that go from the two poles: North Pole to the South Pole on a globe are called longitudinal lines.

Explanation:

• Longitudes are imaginary circles that bisect the South/North Poles, as well as the Equator. ½ a 'longitudinal circle' is called the Meridian.
• Longitude is the quantification east/west of the 'prime meridian'. These lines are termed as meridians. Each meridian is 1 arc longitude degree. The distance around the Earth is 360°.
• The meridian which runs via Greenwich, England, is globally recognized as the line of zero degrees longitude or prime meridian. The anti-meridian is half-way across the globe, at 180°.
• It is the base for the Universal Date Line. "The Prime Meridian" is fixed as zero degrees longitude and it splits "the Earth into" the Western/Eastern Hemisphere.
