Question

Upto( 5 points)
Differentiate between parallels of latitudes and meridians of longitudes.

Answer 1

Latitudes :

• It runs from East to West.
• There are 181 lines of latitudes.
• The largest latitude is equator.
• It divides the earth in to northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere.
• They are parallel to each other.
• They never meet each other.
• It decides the temperature of a place.

Longitudes :

• It runs from North to South.
• There are 360 lines of longitudes.
• Important longitude is Greenwich meridian.
• It divides the earth into eastern hemisphere and western hemisphere.
• They are not parallel to each other.
• They meet at the poles.
• It helps in calculating time in a particular place.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Parallels

• Parallels Are Lines of Latitude
• There are 180 parallels of latitudes apart from the Equator.
• All parallels are not of equal length
• Parallels don’t intersect.
• East to west

     Meridians

• Meridians Are Lines of Longitude
• There are total 360 Meridians
• All meridians converge at the poles and are thus of equal length
• All meridians intersect at two places; the North Pole and the South.
• North to south
