Yes.
Yes, All line of latitude are parallel to the equator, but are not spaced equally. A mercator projection is based on a cylinder projection that is laid on the equator.
Meridians of constant longitude cross parallels of constant latitude. Parallels of constant latitude cross meridians of constant longitude. At each intersection of a meridian and a parallel, the lines are perpendicular (form 90° angles).
A mercator projection is a cylindrical map which was developed as a navigation tool. It displays line of longitude as parallel to each other.
-- Parallels are associated with latitudes. Meridians are associated with longitudes. -- Parallels are parallel, and no tweo parallels intersect. All meridians intersect all other meridians, at two places. -- Every point on a parallel has the same latitude. Every point on a meridian has the same longitude. -- Every parallel in the same hemisphere has a different length. Every meridian on Earth has the same length. -- Every parallel is a full circle. Every meridian is a semi-circle. -- Every parallel crosses all longitudes. Every meridian crosses all latitudes. -- The distance between two parallels is the same at every longitude. The distance between two meridians depends on the latitude where it's measured. -- To cross all parallels, you only have to travel 12,000 miles. To cross all meridians, you have to travel 24,000 miles.
Lines of longitude are farthest apart where they intersect the line of the equator.

Yes, All line of latitude are parallel to the equator, but are not spaced equally. A mercator projection is based on a cylinder projection that is laid on the equator.
Meridians of constant longitude cross parallels of constant latitude. Parallels of constant latitude cross meridians of constant longitude. At each intersection of a meridian and a parallel, the lines are perpendicular (form 90° angles).
What 3 meridians of longitude cross the Indian ocean?
A cross has 4 angles
Two meridians of longitude are parallel only at the points where they cross the equator, and nowhere else.
Angles that cross are called perpendicular angles.
A mercator projection is a cylindrical map which was developed as a navigation tool. It displays line of longitude as parallel to each other.
All of the meridians of longitude cross the equator.
When you cross one, you change your clock by 1 hour
