No. Longitudinal lines run parallel to the Prime Meridian. Latitudinal lines run parallel to the Equator.
No, the longitudinal lines do not run parallel to the Tropic of Capricorn. Longitudinal lines run north-south from the North Pole to the South Pole, while the Tropic of Capricorn is a specific latitude line that runs parallel to the Equator.
Lines of latitude are parallel to the equator, and that includes the Arctic and Antarctic Circles. The Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn are also parallel to the equator.See the link below
Lines of latitude circle the earth, parallel to the equator.
You have answered the question for yourself ; They are 'Latitudes''. Longitudes (Meridians) are lines that run North to South from the North Pole to the South Pole. Longitudes come to a point at the poles, but spread out to a maximum at the Equator.
They are parallel to the earth's equator. So if you consider the equator as being horizontal then they are horizontal.
There are no parallel lines that run FROM the equator. Lines that are parallel TO the equator are the latitudes.
No, the longitudinal lines do not run parallel to the Tropic of Capricorn. Longitudinal lines run north-south from the North Pole to the South Pole, while the Tropic of Capricorn is a specific latitude line that runs parallel to the Equator.
Latitude lines run from east to west, parallel to the equator. Longitudinal lines are perpendicular to latitude lines and run north to south.
Lines that run parallel to the equator are called latitude lines or parallels.
Lines of Latitude encircle the Earth, running parallel to the Equator.
The Prime Meridian is a Longitudinal line. That is, it runs North and South between the poles. Latitudinal lines run parallel to the equator and measure distance North or South of the equator. They run East and West, perpendicular to longitudinal lines. The Prime Meridian is at all latitudes.
Lines of latitude.
Lines of latitude run parallel to the Equator (which is zero latitude).
Lines of latitude are parallel to the equator, and that includes the Arctic and Antarctic Circles. The Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn are also parallel to the equator.See the link below
