Yes, your answers are correct. Lines of latitude run east to west and measure the distance north or south of the equator. They are often referred to as parallels because they are equidistant from each other. Latitude is measured in degrees, with 0 degrees being at the equator, 90 degrees being at the North Pole, and -90 degrees being at the South Pole.

On the other hand, meridians run north to south and measure the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian, which passes through Greenwich, London. Meridians are sometimes called lines of longitude. Longitude is also measured in degrees, with 0 degrees being at the Prime Meridian, 180 degrees being at the International Date Line, and ranging from -180 degrees to 180 degrees.

Understanding the concepts of latitude and longitude is essential for navigation and accurately specifying locations on the Earth's surface.

No, these answers are not correct. Lines of latitude run east to west and measure the distance north or south of the equator. Meridians, on the other hand, run north to south and measure the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian.
