the five major lines of longitude are the greenwich meridian,yellowich meridian, bluewich meridian, orangewich meridian and the pinkwich meridian
* * * * *
The major longitude is the Greenwich meridian. The other is the line of longitude on the opposite side of the earth - more or less the International Date Line. Except that it is not a straight pole-to-pole line.
The five major lines of latitude are the Arctic Circle, the Tropic of Cancer, the Equator, the Tropic of Capricorn and the Antarctic Circle. The 2 major lines of longitude are the prime meridian and the international dateline.
The question is very much like asking "What are the important marks on a ruler ?"
The most important ones are, naturally the ones that mark the place on Earth that
you happen to be interested in at the moment. In my personal case, the important
latitude is 42.04° North and the important longitude is 87.72° West, because that's
where I am sitting right now. In just a little while, when I go to bed, both my
latitude and my altitude will increase slightly.
You might say that the 'zero' mark on a ruler is the important one, because all lengths
are measured from it. Similarly, the 'important' marks of geographic measurement are
those from which all others are measured ... the Equator, at zero latitude, and the
Prime Meridian, at zero longitude.
They are the parallel just south of 42.0363° north latitude and the meridian
just west of 87.7207° west longitude. Those are the lines that pass through
my refrigerator, where my food is kept.
The Equator, Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, Antarctic Circle and Arctic Circle.
Parallels of latitude, meridians of longitude.
Geographical degrees.
Just count up in tens, East and West.
The major five lines of Longitude are:- Greenwich, Yellow wich, Bluewich, Orangewich and Pinkwich.
The prime meridian.
A "meridian" is a line of constant longitude.
another name for a line of longitude is meridian.
Every 'line' of constant longitude is a 'meridian'.
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
No. 90 degrees longitude is not a major line of longitude. Only 0 and 180 degrees longitude, which are the Greenwich Meridian and the International Date Line respectively, are major lines of longitude.
There are more than one major lines of longitude that pass through the Argentine. They have values around 58 degrees west but none of the lines/meridians is a named line.
