Parallels are lines of latitude that run east-west around the globe, while meridians are lines of longitude that run north-south. Parallels are always equidistant from each other, while meridians converge at the poles. Parallels help locate positions north or south of the equator, while meridians help locate positions east or west of the Prime Meridian.
