What are meridians of longitude?
✓
Answer
Lines which run vertically in north-south direction and tend to intersect each other at poles are called Meridians of Longitude.
They meet each other at the poles and are equal in size.
One thing worth remembering is that, these lines are only drawn on the maps of the world or the globe only for the convenience of locating places and the features of the earth.
