15 degrees north, 30 degrees north, 45 degrees north, 60 degrees north, 75 degrees north, 90 degrees north. ( The last person had put here 180 degrees north. If you look at many other info online, you will find it's actually 90 degrees north, not 180. Also, if you relate beginner geometry and the shape of angles....the equator, horizontal line, straight up to the north pole, is a 90 degree angle. hence the 90 degrees north parallel.)

∙ 10y agoThat depends on how your globe is mounted, or which way you're holding
your map.
If the north pole is at the top, then all of the parallels below the equator
mark south latitudes.
If the south pole is at the top, then all of the parallels below the equator
mark north latitudes.
If the poles are at the left and right extremities of the map, then the equator
appears as a vertical line, and there are no parallels above or below it.

Lines of latitude-
Imaginary lines on earth that runs parallel to the equator
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoThere are five total named latitudes on the Earth. The ones that lie north of the equator are the Tropic of Cancer and the Arctic Circle.

Which direction do parallels run?
Parallels would be 2 or more lines that run in the same direction and do not intersect.
Why there are 181 parallels latitudes?
This is because there are 90 latitudes above the equator, 90 latitudes below the equator and one is the equator itself.....so when we add them up (including the equator) we get 181.
What is another name for latitude?
Sometimes they will be called parallels. The middle is the equator (as you know.).
What are Imaginary lines which run at right angles to the equator?
They are lines of constant latitude, all parallel to the equator.
Is the distance north and south of the equator it is noted by?
Latitude, parallels
The parallels above the equator are which direction?
north
Which direction do parallels run?
Parallels would be 2 or more lines that run in the same direction and do not intersect.
Why there are 181 parallels latitudes?
This is because there are 90 latitudes above the equator, 90 latitudes below the equator and one is the equator itself.....so when we add them up (including the equator) we get 181.
What are parallels on a map?
Parallels are lines that run the same direction and are the always the same distance apart. On a map (and the Earth) the lines of latitude (measurement North and South of the equator) are parallel.
Which parallels are not circles?
a cylinder
Is the equator a parallelor meridian?
It's actually parallel to the parallels, since the parallels are by definition parallel to the equator.
Is the equator a parallels or a Meridian?
The equator is the parallel of zero latitude.
Is the equator parallels or a meridian?
The equator is the parallel of zero latitude.
What is another name for latitude?
Sometimes they will be called parallels. The middle is the equator (as you know.).
Parallels are lines of?
Yes they are. They are parallel to the equator.
What are Imaginary lines which run at right angles to the equator?
They are lines of constant latitude, all parallel to the equator.
Is the equator parallel to the meridian?
Nothing is parallel to any meridian. The equator is a parallel of latitude, and is parallel to all the other parallels. This is a big part of the reason that, collectively, they are called 'parallels'.
