Lines of latitude
The lines that run east and west are called latitude lines. The lines that run north and south are called longitude lines. Together, they form a grid that can be used to locate any point on the Earth.
latitude and longitude are imaginary lines across earth which are used to navigate the latitude is how many degrees north or south of the equator you are your longitude is how many degrees east or west you are of Greenwich in London
its called side lines
On a normal map or atlas they are vertical.
true
There are no parallel lines that run FROM the equator. Lines that are parallel TO the equator are the latitudes.
No. Longitudinal lines run parallel to the Prime Meridian. Latitudinal lines run parallel to the Equator.
Lines of Latitude encircle the Earth, running parallel to the Equator.
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
Lines of latitude.
Lines of latitude run parallel to the Equator (which is zero latitude).
Lines of latitude circle the earth, parallel to the equator.
You have answered the question for yourself ; They are 'Latitudes''. Longitudes (Meridians) are lines that run North to South from the North Pole to the South Pole. Longitudes come to a point at the poles, but spread out to a maximum at the Equator.
Every line of constant latitude is parallel to the equator and to all other such lines. This might be part of the reason that such lines are often referred to as "parallels" of latitude. Or that might be just a coincidence.
Yes. That's a big part of the reason why the lines are often called "parallels".
both latitide as horizontal and longitude as vertical
The only line that runs parallel through the equator is THE EQUATOR. [The Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn are parallel to the equator, but are north and south of it (respectively) at 23.5 degrees. So they do not run through the equator.] The lines of longitude all run through the equator, but they are not parallel to each other since they all meet up at both the North and South Poles.
