Public bug reported:
gbrainy v2.1.2 on Xubuntu 12.04 in UK English.
Question: for words parallel / meridian what goes with longitude?
The question / answer are right, but the Incorrect answer message is
wrong.
I got it wrong (because I had never come across 'parallel' in reference
to geodesy!) and the advice says:
Parallel and longitude traverse from east to west while meridian and
latitude traverse from north to south.
A meridian is a line of constant longitude passing between the poles and
through a given place on the earth's surface. That is, meridians
traverse from east to west like the lines of longitude. For example,
the Greenwich meridian is zero degrees longitude.
Google tells me a geodetic parallel is equivalent to the lines of
latitude and so they go from east to west and traverse from north to
south.
