Many different types of projection are thus. Mercator's is definitely not thus.
A Mercator projection has parallel latitude lines and parallel longitude lines.
That's the Mercator projection, where Greenland looks bigger than South America.
Mercator is one. There may be others.
Most maps will show latitude and longitude lines, if not, they're ALWAYS on a globe.
The Mercator projection does that.
All 'lines' of latitude are parallel to all others.No meridian of longitude is parallel to any others.-- All 'lines' of latitude are parallel to all others.-- No meridian of longitude is parallel to any other one.
All lines of latitude are parallel with the equator.
Lines of constant latitude are all parallel to each other.

lines of latitude
Mercator is the type of projection which has parallel lines of longitude which disappear near the poles. The project in question also presents parallel lines of latitude even though the overall clarity gets distorted around both the North and South Poles.
Every meridian of longitude is perpendicular to every parallel of latitude, and every parallel of latitude is perpendicular to every meridian of longitude.

Parallel. Latitude and longitude are perpendicular.
Latitude.
All lines of latitude are parallel with the equator.
Every parallel of latitude crosses every meridian of longitude.
Lines of constant latitude are all parallel to each other.
The 60th parallel South is a line of latitude crossing all lines of longitude.
