on the same parallel has the same latitude.

What is also known as parallels?
Parallels are also called lines of constant latitude, on maps and globes.
The intersecting lines drawn on maps and globes are?
geographic grids
What is the interval between lines of latitude and longitude in the world atlas?
There is no official set of "lines". Some globes and maps have more lines, spaced closer together. Some globes and maps have fewer lines, spaced farther apart. Some globes and maps have no lines at all. We have no way of knowing how many latitudes and longitudes are marked on the map that you're looking at today, and the next one you see may be marked at a different interval.
Distance east or west of the prime meridian is measured in degrees of?
Distance East or West of the prime meridian is measured in degrees of longitude.
Why do distances appear longer on maps than globes?
It is to do with the scale used on the maps and globes.
What are the imaginary lines that measure distance on maps and globes?
east and west

Many maps and globes show east-west lines called?
they are called i dont know why do u thinkt hat i was asking lol and this is called wiki answers so im giving a wiki answer

Longitude lines measure east to west from the?
'Longitude' is the angle measured east or west from the Prime Meridian to the location of interest. Some lines may or may not be printed on some maps or globes to mark the position of some longitudes.
What are the lines on maps and globes that help us find places?
Lines of latitude and longitude help us locate places on maps and globes. Latitude lines run horizontally and measure the distance north or south of the equator, while longitude lines run vertically and measure the distance east or west of the prime meridian. By using these lines, we can pinpoint the exact coordinates of any location on Earth.

Distance East or West of the prime meridian is measured in degrees of longitude.
Why is it necessary to have latitudes and longitudes on maps or globes?
these are the imaginary lines to check the gmt and location of a place
Are globes and maps marked with imaginary lines for geographers to use colocate on earths surface?
Yes
How many lines in latitude and longitude?
Latitude and longitude are angles that describe the location of a point on the Earth's surface. Longitudes range from zero to 180 degrees east or west. Latitudes range from zero to 90 degrees north or south. There are no official 'lines'. Some maps or globes have some lines printed on them to show where a few latitudes and longitudes are, and other maps and globes have no lines at all printed on them. I have mapping software that can print 324,000 latitude lines and 648,000 longitude lines if I want them, but I have never needed them yet.
