A great circle will intersect the equator at how many degrees of longitude apart?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — 180°
A great circle represents the intersection of the Earth's surface with a plane passing through the center. Because the equator is also a great circle, any other great circle must bisect it at two points separated by exactly 180 degrees of longitude, representing the two halves of the sphere.
