What is the imaginairy line around the earth called?
the equator ========= There are many imaginary lines around the Earth. In fact, there are an infinite number of imaginary lines. The two main types of imaginary lines are parallels of latitude (of which the Equator is one) and meridians of longitude.
Imaginary lines connecting places of the same latitude are known as?
Imaginary lines connecting places of the same latitude are known as parallels. These lines run parallel to the Equator and help in measuring distances on the Earth's surface horizontally.
What are the lines that measure east and west on the globe?
The lines that measure east and west on the globe are called longitude lines or meridians. The prime meridian, located at 0 degrees, divides the Earth into Eastern and Western Hemispheres. Longitude lines run vertically from the North Pole to the South Pole.
What do you call the line in the center of the globe?
The line in the center of the globe is called the equator. It is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.
What are earth's parallels called?
Earth's parallels are called lines of latitude. They are imaginary lines that run parallel to the equator and are used to measure the distance north or south of the equator in degrees.
In what way can the imaginary lines on the globe help?
The imaginary lines on the globe helps because it divides the Northern Hemisphere from Southern Hemisphere. Therefore, imaginary lines are helpful.
Why there is an imaginary lines on globe?

What is the name of the two sets of imaginary lines on the globe?
-- Most of the imaginary lines on the surface are parallels of latitude, meridians of longitude, political boundaries, and shipping routes. -- The imaginary lines through the center of the globe are the axis and diameters.
What are the imaginary lines on the globe and map?
The horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.
Which is the longest geographical imaginary line on the globe?
