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

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.


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.


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.


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.


What can called the lines are parallel?

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.

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.
