Latitude.
The imaginary parallel lines that run around the globe are the lines of latitude. They are important for locating places on the Earth's surface and are measured in degrees north or south of the equator.
Each of those is a locus of constant latitude.

Meridians are not parallel. Apart from that, what is the question?
On the globe they are called lines of LATITUDE and are parallel to the equator.
As many as you like.
Parallel refers to the longitude where you live. Longitudes are the imaginary lines ruled around the globe by map makers starting at the equator, zero longitude, to 90 degrees at the poles. The 60th parallel refers to 60 degrees from the equator and passes through Europe and all points on that level around the globe.
