Yes. Latitude lines are often referred to as "lines of parallel" because they represent planes through the Earth. Their points on the Earth's surface are defined by the same angle : the angle between a line from Earth's center (to each point) and a line to the corresponding point on the equator.
Note that this means the distance between degrees of latitude is constant (approx. 69 miles or 111 km), while longitudinal lines get closer together as you move poleward.
"Parallels" are lines of constant latitude.
Longitude lines are often called "meridians".
No. Latitude lines are called parallels.
no - latitude lines are parallel
Yes
The horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.
Latitudes are line Parallel to the equator placed equidistance on both sides. they are therfore some times called paralles and longitude is somtimes meridian hopes this helps:D
The lines are parallel on the map are called Latitudes.
Both! All lines of latitude between the equator and the tropic of cancer are high latitudes, and lines of latitude between the equator and the tropic of capricorn are considered low latitudes. ***THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE TROPICAL LATITUDES*** <- those I can't name
90 north latitudes + 90 south latitudes + 1 line of equator
They are simply just called lines.
The horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.
The horizontal lines are called latitudes and the vertical lines are called longitudes.
They are called the latitudes.
Latitudes are line Parallel to the equator placed equidistance on both sides. they are therfore some times called paralles and longitude is somtimes meridian hopes this helps:D
There are no parallel lines that run FROM the equator. Lines that are parallel TO the equator are the latitudes.
On the earth (and planetary/stellar bodies) they are called latitudes and longitudes.
The lines are parallel on the map are called Latitudes.
Two (or more) lines are parallel if they are pointing in the same (or exactly opposite) directions.
Both! All lines of latitude between the equator and the tropic of cancer are high latitudes, and lines of latitude between the equator and the tropic of capricorn are considered low latitudes. ***THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE TROPICAL LATITUDES*** <- those I can't name
90 north latitudes + 90 south latitudes + 1 line of equator
Latitude lines are parallel but not longitude lines.
