The north and south poles or away from the equator. At the poles the distances between lines of longitude are zero.

∙ 15y agoThe distance between the longitudes decreases towards the poles. This is because the lines of longitude converge towards the poles, resulting in shorter distances between them as you move towards the North or South Pole.

The distance between longitudes decreases as you move towards the poles, so the exact distance between longitude 77 and 78 will vary depending on the latitude. However, as a general estimate, the distance between two longitudes decreases by approximately 69 miles for every degree you move towards the poles.
Yes, the distance between longitudes narrows as you move from the equator towards the poles due to the curvature of the Earth. The lines of longitude converge at the poles, so the distance between them decreases as you move north or south.
The distance between two latitudes is relatively constant at 111 kilometers because the lines of latitude are parallel to each other and evenly spaced. Whereas, the distance between two longitudes varies because the lines of longitude converge at the poles, resulting in shorter distances towards the poles and longer distances towards the equator.
All longitudes converge (meet, come together) at the north and south pole. A drawing ofthe globe with some of the meridians added looks like the drawing of a peeled orange, andthe distance between two meridians depends on how far from the equator you measure it.One degree of longitude measured along the equator represents a distance of about 69.1 miles (111 km),and it shrinks steadily to zero at the poles.In general, it's(distance measured at the equator) multiplied by (cosine of the latitude where you measure it)

It is because as we move towards the poles, the extent between two longitudes decreases, that means they come closer and closer. This is however not the case with latitudes.Therefore though the numerical difference between latitudes and longitudes of India is same, it covers more land from North to South as compared to from East to West.
A collision could occur when the distance between two objects decreases and their bearings converge, meaning they are moving towards each other. This situation increases the risk of a collision because the objects are on a potential collision course due to their decreasing distance and converging paths.
Gravity affects motion by pulling objects towards each other with a force that increases with the mass of the objects and decreases with the distance between them. This force causes objects to accelerate towards each other, influencing their trajectories and velocities.

Gravitational attraction is caused by the mass of the earth. As you go down in the earth, the amount of mass of earth still between you and the centre of earth decreases. Thus as this effective mass decreases, the gravitational attraction decreases.
It is because all lines of longitude originate and converge there.
Gravity is the force of attraction between all masses in the universe.The magnitude of a gravitational force depends onthe masses of the objectsthe distance between the objectsThe gravitational force between two bodies increases as their masses increase.

You may be thinking of the distance between lines of longitude. The length of the lines of latitude decrease because the Earth is round, so the length of the line is shorter at the poles than it is at the Equator. The distance between the lines of longitude is shorter as you move toward the poles, again, because the Earth is round. All lines of longitude are the same length.
Time is on the x axis and distance is on the y axis. There will be a curve starting at zero (presumably) and going upwards towards the right. The slope of the line at any given x value equals the speed at that point in time. Thus the slope will decrease at the same rate that speed decreases.
At 10 degrees latitude, the distance per degree of longitude is approximately 111.32 kilometers. This value gradually decreases as you move towards the poles.
