It's called a latitude (But you asked for the name of the LINE that goes around the Earth like a parallel belt)
Lines of latitude circle the Earth in an east-west fashion. so no
The imaginary lines running from north to south on a map are called longitude.
The lines going up and down on Earth are longitude lines, also known as meridians. They run from the North Pole to the South Pole and help to pinpoint a specific location by measuring the distance east or west of the Prime Meridian (0 degrees longitude).
The lines of latitude tell the angle between a place and the Equator - the imaginary line which runs east/west around the globe - at right angles to the line connecting the north and south poles. All lines of latitude are parallel to the Equator, and so they also run east/west or west/east. An easy way to remember the difference between latitude and longitude is longitude has the word long in it. they go north and south or you may say up and down and seem longer than the latitude lines which go left and right or east and west. i dont think the lines actually are longer but they appear to be. so think of it as longitude longer up and down. latitude the opposite, shorter, left and right. The lines of latitude on maps and globes 'run' in the same direction that the marks on a ruler do.
Lines that run up and down on a map are called "longitude lines" or "meridians." These lines help indicate the east-west position or direction of a location on the Earth's surface.
Grid
Lines of latitude are used on a map or globe. They are the lines that run horizontally or left to right, while longitude lines run vertically or up and down.
Latitude lines run parallel to the equator.
they go up and down
Lines of longitude run North-South.
North - South; up and down most maps.

Longitude lines run north to south of the Earth. Latitude lines run east to west of the Earth. (You can remember which is which by thinking of Santa Clause: LONGatude is up and down and FATatitude is across.)
Lines of latitude circle the Earth in an east-west fashion. so no
horizontal lines run from side to side... left to right or right to left... like looking out on the horizon
