Question

What is meridians of longtitude ??.​..​

Answer 1

Explanation:

A (geographical) meridian (or line of longitude) is the half of an imaginary great circle on the Earth's surface, terminated by the North Pole and the South Pole, connecting points of equal longitude, as measured in angular degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian.[1] The position of a point along the meridian is given by that longitude and its latitude, measured in angular degrees north or south of the Equator. Each meridian is perpendicular to all circles of latitude. Each is also the same length, being half of a great circle on the Earth's surface and therefore measuring 20,003.93 km (12,429.9 miles)

Answer 2

Answer:

Longitude is the angular distance of a place east or west of the meridian .

Meridian is at 0°

Zero degrees longitude is called the Prime Meridian, as it is the line from which other meridians are calculated.

★Bonus answer: Another name for lines of latitude is “parallels,” so called because lines of latitude run parallel to each other (lines of longitude do not.)
