Best Answer

If you select any two random values of latitude, and put a dot on the globe at

every point on Earth that has one of those latitudes, you'll wind up with two lines

that go all the way around the globe. The two lines will be parallel to each other ...

they'll be the same distance apart everywhere, and they won't touch or cross

anywhere. Such lines are called 'parallels of constant latitude'.
