Question

The total number of meridians drawn on the earth is
a) 180
b) 360
c) 90
d) 45​

Answer 1

Answer:

b) 360

Explanation:

The western most longitude is 180W and the eastern most longitude is 180E; incidentally, 180W and 180E are the same longitudes. This is called the 180th meridian and also the international date line. Therefore, the total number of latitudes is 180; and the total number of longitudes are 360.

Hope it would have helped :)

Answer 2

Answer:

Beyond the Prime Meridian, there are 180 meridians to the east and 180 to the west. As a result, the earth has 360 meridians.

Explanation:

The longest latitudes are 180W in the west and 180E in the east; interestingly, 180W and 180E have the same longitudes. The international date line is sometimes known as the 180th meridian. Thus, there are 180 latitudes in total. Meridian is a hypothetical semicircle that connects the two poles and travels north-south. The poles are where all meridians converge and are the same length. The globe is divided into its eastern and western hemispheres by an imaginary line called the Prime Meridian..

One arc degree of longitude is the length of each meridian. 360 degrees is the circumference of the Earth.
