Lines of Longitude are also called meridians because in a geographical understanding, meridians are large circles that are not identical to each other but rather intersect each other at the northland and southland poles.

The word "meridian" indicates midway, symbolizing that noon is halfway among sunrise and sunset. The lines from pole to pole are lines of consistent longitude or meridians. The circles identical to the equator are lines of uniform latitude or parallels.
