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.
There are no parallel lines that run FROM the equator. Lines that are parallel TO the equator are the latitudes.
Lines that run parallel to the equator are called latitude lines or parallels.
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 encircle the Earth, running parallel to the Equator.
No. Longitudinal lines run parallel to the Prime Meridian. Latitudinal lines run parallel to the Equator.
Lines that run parallel on the Earth are called latitude lines. These lines measure the distance north or south of the Equator and help to identify locations on the globe.
Lines of latitude are imaginary lines that run parallel to the equator and form part of a grid used to describe where on the earth you are. They are often called parallels.
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.
Lines of latitude.
Lines of latitude run parallel to the Equator (which is zero latitude).
Lines of latitude are also called parallels because they run parallel to the equator. They measure the distance north or south of the equator and are expressed in degrees.
Lines of latitude circle the earth, parallel to the equator.
