  1. Differentiate between meridian lines and parallel lines: Meridian lines are imaginary lines that run from the North Pole to the South Pole, representing lines of longitude. They are semi-circles that converge at the poles and are not parallel to each other. Parallel lines, also known as parallels of latitude, are imaginary circles that run east to west, parallel to the Equator. They are full circles (except at the poles) and maintain an equal distance from each other.

  2. Differentiate between latitudes and longitudes: Latitudes are the angular distance of a point on the Earth's surface, measured in degrees north or south of the Equator. They are measured along parallel lines and range from 0∘0^\circ at the Equator to 90∘90^\circ North or South at the poles. Longitudes are the angular distance of a point on the Earth's surface, measured in degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian. They are measured along meridian lines and range from 0∘0^\circ at the Prime Meridian to 180∘180^\circ East or West.
