Meridians are imaginary semi-circles that connect the north and south poles.
Parallels are imaginary full circles around the Earth, and every point on a parallel
is the same distance from a pole.
The equator is the longest parallel. Every point on it is equal distances from
both the north and south poles. The latitude of the equator is zero, and all
other latitudes are measured from it.
No it's the circumference of the earth. Actually, sometimes you may hear the term parallel when someone refers to a latitude line (38th parallel comes to mind: this was the drawn line between North-South Korea after the Korean War). The 49th parallel North forms much of the U.S.-Canada border.
This is because latitude lines never intersect, so in a way they are 'parallel'. In contrast, all longitude lines intersect at the North Pole and South Pole.
Meridians are semi-circles that join the north and south poles. The equator is a full
circle, made up of every point on Earth that's equal distances from both poles. The
equator is the parallel of zero latitude.
No, they are perpendicular at the point where they cross. In fact,
EVERY meridian is perpendicular to the equator where they cross.
Just guessing here but, I don't think its a true parallel
Just don't put this answers on your test or homework assignment.
Hope I sorta helped

The equator itself is a 'line' of latitude. All others are parallel to the equator.
The parallel line that circles the Earth is the Equator. It is an imaginary line located at 0 degrees latitude that divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere.
The Parallel line that divides the Earth in two is the Equator.Answer by Andres914
Lines of latitude are parallel to the equator, and that includes the Arctic and Antarctic Circles. The Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn are also parallel to the equator.See the link below

The equator is the parallel of zero latitude.
