Answer» _________________________________________ Answer: _________________________________________ Longitudes are known as meridians because in Geographical sense, meridians are great circles which are not parallel to each other but intersect each other at the North and the South Poles. Same stands true of the longitudes. All longitudes are great circles which MEET at the Poles. __________________________________________ Only the lines of longitude are of EQUAL length. Each line of longitude equals half of the circumference of the Earth because each extends from the North POLE to the South Pole. __________________________________________ The Equator and all diametrically opposite longitudes are CALLED Great circles. Because they pass through or touch the centre of the circle. They have a radius equal to the radius of the sphere's centre __________________________________________ Hope it helps ya and yes I will FOLLOW you and..... PLEASE MARK AS BRAINLIEST!! \ ╰(*°▽°*)╯ |
