#While the equator (zero degree latitude) is a 'circle', the zero degree longitude (prime meredian passing through Greenwich) is a half circle. Why is this?
#Are longitudes connected to latitude in any manner?
#The reason why longitudes help us to understand the movement of day and night (passage of time in our 24 hour clock) is because the earth rotates around the sun in an east-west direction. Is this statement correct? What if the earth were to rotate around a east-west axis (that is from north to south or south to north) instead of a north-south axis? Would longitudes as they are defined now, be of any help?
