    The imaginary lines that run north and south on a map are called meridians.

    Here are some key things to remember about meridians:

    * They all converge at the North and South Poles.

    * They are used to measure longitude.

    * Each meridian represents a specific degree of longitude.

    * The Prime Meridian (0° longitude) is the starting point for measuring longitude, passing through Greenwich, England.
