No. All meridians of longitude converge (meet, come together) at the north pole and
at the south pole. If there's any other place where they're not all together, then they
can't be parallel. Everywhere else except at the poles, they spread all the way around
the Earth. So they're not parallel.

Lines of latitude and lines of longitude are perpendicular to?
Every meridian of longitude is perpendicular to every parallel of latitude, and every parallel of latitude is perpendicular to every meridian of longitude.
Lines of longitude are not parallel why?
because they merge at the poles... they seem to be parallel near the equtor region..n remenber parallel lines nver meet each other... n due to the shape of our earth these lines merge at poles...
What is another name for parallel lines?
latitude lines is another name for parallels and longitude lines are called meridians
Does each line of longitude parallel to another line of longitude?
Yes No, lines of longitude are as parallel to each other as the earth is flat. All longitudes intersect at the north and south poles.
Why are latitude lines considered paralles and longitude lines are not?
Just like parallel lines on a flat surface, no two parallels of latitude ever meet.Just like non-parallel lines on a flat surface, any two meridians of longitude do meet.In fact, ALL meridians of longitude meet, at both the north and the south poles.
Why are the lines of longitude not parallel?
Parallel lines, by definition, cannot meet. The lines of longitude meet at the Poles.
These are vertical lines parallel to the prime meridian?
Vertical lines parallel to the prime meridian are lines of longitude.
Lines are and run north-south?
Longitude; not parallel
Which one line is parallel latitude or 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.
Lines of latitude and lines of longitude are perpendicular to?
Every meridian of longitude is perpendicular to every parallel of latitude, and every parallel of latitude is perpendicular to every meridian of longitude.
What map has parallel lines of latitude and longitude?
Most maps will show latitude and longitude lines, if not, they're ALWAYS on a globe.
What lines are parallel to the equator?
lines of latitude
Lines of longitude are not parallel why?
because they merge at the poles... they seem to be parallel near the equtor region..n remenber parallel lines nver meet each other... n due to the shape of our earth these lines merge at poles...
Are lines of longitude parallel to the equator?
No, perpendicular.
Are latitude lines parallel or perpendicular?
Parallel. Latitude and longitude are perpendicular.
Are longitudes and latitudes parallels lines?
Latitude lines are parallel but not longitude lines.
What is a imaginary north south lines parallel to the prime meridian that circles the globe vertically?
Lines of longitude.
