Because no matter which two of them you choose, they're always the same
distance apart all the way around the Earth, and they never cross ... just like
two parallel lines on a flat surface.

What else are latitude lines called?
Lines of latitude are also called parallels because they are all parallel to each other. Any two lines of latitude you choose are the same distance apart everywhere, and no two lines of latitude ever cross. Latitude 36 degrees north is called the 36th parallel north
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 is another name for a line of a latitude?
They are sometimes called parallels. They are parallel to the equator, zero degrees latitude, and parallel to each other. They are all circles, except for the poles which are points.A parallel is another name for a line of latitude because all lines of latitude are parallel to each other.Graticule .parallels
What are the lines of latitude called?
Lines of latitude are imaginary lines that run parallel to the equator and form part of a grid used to describe where on the earth you are. They are often called parallels.
What are Imaginary lines which run at right angles to the equator?
They are lines of constant latitude, all parallel to the equator.
What are the lines parallel to the equater called?
The lines parallel to the equator are called lines of latitude.
Are the parallel lines on a globe called longitude or latitude lines?
Latitude.
Lines that run parallel to the equator are called?
Lines that run parallel to the equator are called latitude lines or parallels.
The horizontal lines are called the lines of what?
On the globe they are called lines of LATITUDE and are parallel to the equator.
Is Lines of latitude is parallel?
Lines of latitude run parallel to the Equator (which is zero latitude).

Is the latitude lines all parallel to the equator?
Yes. All lines of constant latitude is parallel to the equator and to each other. This is a big part of the reason that they're often called "parallels" of latitude.
Are lines of latitude perpendicular parallel or intersecting?
Lines of latitude are horizontal and run parallel to the poles
What lines are parallel to the equator?
lines of latitude
