Where do longitude lines meet?

• A. Equator
• B. Poles
• C. Prime Meridian
• D. Tropics

Answer: (B)

Longitudes are imaginary lines that run from the North Pole to the South Pole, so they all converge where the Earth’s axis meets the surface—the Poles. That’s why the location where longitude lines meet is the Poles. The equator is a latitude line that circles the globe halfway between the poles, not a meeting point for longitudes. The Prime Meridian is simply the 0° longitude reference line used to define other longitudes, but longitudes don’t all come together there. The Tropics are these specific latitude circles near the equator, not related to where longitude lines meet.
