Arctic Circle: 66°33′46.7″ N
Tropic of Cancer: 23° 26′ 14″ N
Equator: 0 degrees
Tropic of Capricorn: 23° 26′ 14″ S
Antarctic Circle: 66°33′46.7″ S

∙ 12y agoSome maps and globes have a great number of lines printed on them. Some maps
and globes have fewer lines, and some have no lines at all. There is no official
standard set of 'lines'. Every point on Earth has a different set of latitude and
longitude coordinates, whether or not there happens to be a printed "line" on
the map that happens to go through that point.
There are as many different longitudes and latitudes as the number of different
points on Earth. How many do you think that might be ?

What are the name of the lines at zero degrees latitude and zero degrees longitude?
0 degress latitude is the Equator and 0 degress longitude is the Greenwich Meridian.
What lines measure distance east and west of the prime meridian on a globe or map?
All of the other meridians; the lines of longitude.
What are the lines of latitude for the north and south pole?
The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles.
Do all lines of latitude and longitude intersect at right angles?
No. All of them do but two. The latitude lines at 90 degrees North and South actually coincide with the intersection of all longitudinal lines. So technically, because they coincide, they do not form any angle.
What is the latitude and longitude of Antarctica?
The latitude of Antarctica is approximately 66 to 90 degrees South. All lines of longitude converge at the South Pole, so all lines of longitude pass through Antarctica. Antarctica is a continent covering 10% of the earth's surface -- about as large as USA and Mexico combined. Latitude and longitude imply specific locations, not general geographies.
Latitude and longitude of arctic ocean?
It must, by definition, cover all lines of Longitude. In terms of Latitude it is further north than, say, 60 degrees.
What are the name of the lines at zero degrees latitude and zero degrees longitude?
0 degress latitude is the Equator and 0 degress longitude is the Greenwich Meridian.
What are the lines of latitude for the north and south pole?
The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles.
What lines measure distance east and west of the prime meridian on a globe or map?
All of the other meridians; the lines of longitude.
North Pole and South Pole line is longitude or latitude?
Both poles are noted as 90 degrees. At the poles, all lines of longitude meet. You could say that the poles, then, are indicated as 90 degrees of latitude, but since there is no longitude, latitude can be assumed.
Do all lines of latitude and longitude intersect at right angles?
No. All of them do but two. The latitude lines at 90 degrees North and South actually coincide with the intersection of all longitudinal lines. So technically, because they coincide, they do not form any angle.
What is the latitude at the south pole?
The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles.
What continent is crossed by every line of longitude?
Antarctica. The South Pole is at 90 degrees S latitude. The North Pole is at 90 degrees N latitude. All lines of longitude converge at both poles.
What is the latitude and longitude of Antarctica?
The latitude of Antarctica is approximately 66 to 90 degrees South. All lines of longitude converge at the South Pole, so all lines of longitude pass through Antarctica. Antarctica is a continent covering 10% of the earth's surface -- about as large as USA and Mexico combined. Latitude and longitude imply specific locations, not general geographies.
What lies at the intersection of the longest lines of latitude and longitude?
All lines of longitude are equal. The longest line of latitude is the Equator.
Which one line is parallel latitude or longitude?
All 'lines' of latitude are parallel to all others.No meridian of longitude is parallel to any others.-- All 'lines' of latitude are parallel to all others.-- No meridian of longitude is parallel to any other one.
Where do lines of longitude come together on Earth?
All of the meridians of longitude converge (come together) at the north and south poles.
