Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
meridian :D LoL
Lines of longitudes are also called Meridians. These vertical lines are drawn from the North to South poles.The meridian through Greenwich, England, called the Prime Meridian, was set at zero degrees of longitude. The meridian on the opposite side of the earth from Greenwich is called the International Date Line (IDL), which is at roughly 180° longitude.
Longitude is the best term, but sometimes meridian is used. The line of longitude at zero degrees is the Prime Meridian.
"parallels" of latitude
Latitude lines run east-west, parallel to the equator, while meridian lines run north-south, converging at the poles.

From what I can remember, the latitude line located at 0 is the meridian line. But I can be wrong
Every meridian of longitude is perpendicular to every parallel of latitude, and every parallel of latitude is perpendicular to every meridian of longitude.

They measure latitude & Longitude.
Every parallel of latitude crosses every meridian of longitude.
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.
