A parallel or "line" of latitude is the collection of all points on earth that have
the same single latitude. It circles the earth in an east/west direction, parallel
to the equator, and cuts across all longitudes.
A meridian or "line" of longitude is the collection of all points on earth that have
the same single longitude. It joins the north and south poles, and cuts across all
parallels of latitude.
