Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A line connecting all points along the same longitudinal angle is called a meridian. Choices A) and C) are not correct because they refer to latitudinal angles and circles, which are lines connecting all points along the same latitude. Choice D) is not specific enough because a great circle can refer to any circle on the surface of a sphere that has the same center as the sphere. A meridian is a specific type of great circle that passes through the poles.
