Lines of longitude meet where?
Lines of longitude meet at the poles, both North and South. At the North Pole, all lines of longitude converge and meet at a single point. The same holds true for the South Pole, where lines of longitude also converge and meet at a single point.
Why are the north and south poles only located by latitude?
The north and south poles are the point where all lines of longitude meet and therefore cannot have a longitudinal coordinate. They are also the maximum angular distance from the equator, from which latitude is measured.
Where do the lines that run north to south come together at?
The lines that run north to south come together at the North and South Poles. The North Pole is located at 90 degrees north latitude, while the South Pole is located at 90 degrees south latitude. These points represent the earth's axis of rotation.
Do longitude lines ever meet?
No, longitude lines are parallel lines that run from the North Pole to the South Pole and are spaced evenly apart. They do not converge or meet.
Where do lines of longitude converge (meet)?
-- All lines of longitude meet at the north and south poles. -- No two lines of latitude ever meet or cross each other. -- Every line of longitude crosses every line of latitude. -- Every line of latitude crosses every line of longitude. -- There are an infinite number of each kind, so there are an infinite number of places where a line of longitude crosses a line of latitude. (That's kind of the whole idea of the system.)
