Answer:
- Longitudes are imaginary lines that run vertically around the earth and meet at North and South poles.
- They are equal in length because they all extend from North pole to South pole.
- The length of each longitude is equal to half of the the circumference of earth. They are used to define East- West position of a country or place.
- Half of the longitudinal circle is called Meridian.
- Prime meridian is also a longitude and it passes through Greenwich, England. It is called 0 degrees longitude, it is the international date line.
