Question

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

Answer 1

Explanation:

Distance east or west on the Earth's surface, measured in degrees from a certain meridian, usually the prime meridian at Greenwich, England, which has a longitude of 0°. The distance of a degree of longitude is about 69 statute miles (111 kilometers) or 60 nautical miles at the equator, narrowing to zero at the poles. Longitude and latitude are the coordinates used to identify any point on the Earth's surface. Compare latitude.

Answer 2

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.)
