Earth as Revolving sphere a. Meridians are spaced farthest apart at the equator and converge to a point at each pole. An infinite number of meridians may be drawn on a globe. Thus a meridian exists for any point on a globe.
Parallels are always parallel to one another.
Parallels represent true east-west lines 3. Parallels typically intersect meridians at right angles. All parallels are small circles except at the equator. In a counterclockwise motion when viewed from space. The orbit is elliptical.
