2 lines of latitude do not touch because they are parallel to one another. Lines of longitude meet up at the poles.

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.

North Dakota and South Dakota touch its northern border.
What two foreign countries touch the US?
Canada and Mexico touch the United States.
Which 2 states touch Oklahoman's northern border?
Kansas and Colorado touch Oklahoma's northern border.
What African countries touch the prime meridian?
The African countries that touch the prime meridian are Algeria, Mali, Burkina Faso, Togo, and Ghana.
Which two continents do not touch any other continent?
Australia and Antarctica are the two continents that do not touch any other continent.
Is it true that the lines of latitude called meridians never touch?
Not quite. Lines of latitude are called parallels, and they never touch each other. The meridians are lines of longitude, and all of them converge at the poles.
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.
Do latitude lines ever touch longitude lines?
Every parallel of latitude crosses every meridian of longitude.
Lines that never touch?
Parallel lines
How you check if two lines are parall?
Parallel is lines that never touch so if the lines never touch it is parallel but if so then it is perpendicular.
Another name for lines of latitude is what?
That line has often been called the "Equator" in song and story, and on maps as well, too.
What can called the lines are parallel?
the lines will never touch
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.
What is the name when 2 lines never touch?
the lines are parallel.
Why is it that two circles of latitude never touch?
Because they are parallel lines. Parallel lines never touch in Euclidean geometry. They are parallel to each other, running east to west. They measure distances from the equator. The line that is 10° north will obviously never touch the one that is 20° north as they are at the same distance from the equator all of the time for example.
Difference between tangent and parallel lines?
parallel lines never touch, never get any closer or any further apart. tangent lines touch at one point
Do parallel lines touch diagonally?
No, they are parallel, which means they never touch.
