longitudinal lines

longitudinal lines ALL longitudinal lines are great circles!

latitudinal lines Latitudinal lines are not congruent!

All longitudinal lines are great circles All longitudinal lines are great circles. The equator is the only latitudinal line that is a great circle.

Latitude is the degree measure of the arc from the equator to a particular location. Longitude is measured according to degree measure east or west from the prime meridian.

International Date Line west east equator prime meridian Greenwich, England east west equator

International Date Line north equator south prime meridian Greenwich, England south north equator
