Lines of latitude (except 90 degrees, the poles) circle the planet, as the equator does. Each line includes points within planes angled with respect to the equatorial plane, and in a plane parallel to it.

No two lines of latitude can intersect.

Do latitude lines ever touch longitude lines?

Every parallel of latitude crosses every meridian of longitude.


Is it true that the lines of latitude called meridians never touch?

No, this statement is false. Meridians are lines of longitude that converge at the poles, meaning they touch at the poles. Lines of latitude, however, like the equator, never intersect and are always parallel to each other.


What is parallel to lines of latitude?

No two lines of constant latitude ever touch or cross each other. They are the same distance apart everywhere. That's why they're often referred to as "parallels" of latitude.


Explain why two lines of latitude never touch?

Lines of latitude are parallel to each other and never intersect because they are equidistant from the equator. As they run east-west around the globe, they maintain a consistent distance from each other, ensuring that they never touch or cross paths. This unique characteristic makes lines of latitude a useful reference point for determining locations on Earth's surface.


Do lines of latitude meet at the south pole?

No. Just like parallel lines on a flat surface, any two lines of latitude that you choose are the same distance apart everywhere, they never cross, and they never touch. That's why they're often called "parallels" of latitude.


What is the point called when latitude and longitude lines touch?

There is no term for where "latitude and longitude meet" since they are not absolutely defined points or lines; instead, they are coordinates which must be used in tandem to define a point and can vary over any part of the earth's surface (or any object which is given a system of latitude and longitude).


What are The lines that intercept latitude lines on a map Are lines of what?

The lines that intercept latitude lines are lines of longitude.


Is Lines of latitude is parallel?

Lines of latitude run parallel to the Equator (which is zero latitude).


Does latitude's lines converge at a point?

No. Every line of constant latitude is parallel to all others. No two of them ever touch or cross.
