How are latitude and longitude lines drawn on a globe of Earth?
Latitude lines are parallel and longitude lines meet at the equator. B) Longitude lines are parallel and latitude lines meet at the poles. C) Latitude lines are parallel and longitude lines meet at the poles. D) Longitude lines are parallel and latitude lines meet at the equator. Correct Answer: Option C – Latitude lines are parallel and longitude lines meet at the poles. Latitude, usually denoted by the Greek letter phi (φ) gives the location of a place on Earth (or other planetary body) north or south of the equator. Lines of Latitude are the horizontal lines shown running east-to-west on maps (particularly so in the Mercator projection). Technically, latitude is an angular measurement in degrees (marked with °) ranging from 0° at the equator (low latitude) to 90° at the poles (90° N or +90° for the North Pole and 90° S or -90° for the South Pole). The latitude is approximately the angle between straight up at the surface (the zenith) and the sun at an equinox. The complementary angl
