Detailed explanation-1: -Longitude is measured by imaginary lines that run around Earth vertically (up and down) and meet at the North and South Poles. These lines are known as meridians.

Detailed explanation-2: -Meridians of Longitude. Meridians of longitude are imaginary half-circles running from the North Pole to the South Pole. They are sometimes called lines of longitude. Unlike parallels of latitude that are different sizes, all lines of longitude are the same length.

Detailed explanation-3: -An equator is an imaginary line around the middle of a planet or other celestial body. It is halfway between the north pole and the south pole, at 0 degrees latitude. An equator divides the planet into a northern hemisphere and a southern hemisphere.

Detailed explanation-4: -A system of lines is used to find the location of any place on the surface of the Earth. Commonly called a grid system, it is made up of two sets of lines that cross each other. One set-lines of latitude-runs in an east-west direction. The other set-lines of longitude-runs in a north-south direction.

Detailed explanation-5: -The lines running North to South are called “Meridians” or “lines of longitude” (Figure 2), while the lines running East to West are called “Parallels” or “lines of latitude” (Figure 3).
