Question

The distance between the longitudes decreases towards________?

Answer 1

Answer: poles

Longitude is an imaginary spatial coordinate, meaning the angular distance of a position east or west of the meridian of Greenwich, or the distance on the earth’s surface between a particular point and the prime meridian.

• The longitude calculated in degrees and there are 360 degree of longitude.
• The 0-degree longitude is considered the Prime Meridian.

The earth is divided into two halves by the Prime Meridian: the Eastern Hemisphere and the Western Hemisphere. Towards the poles, the distance between the longitudes reduces.
