Is the distance north and south of the equator it is noted by?
Latitude, parallels
Lines of latitude are also called what?
Parallels and meridians. Circles parallel to the Equator (lines running east and west) are parallels of latitude. They are used to measure degrees of latitude north or south of the Equator. Meridians of longitude are drawn from the North Pole to the South Pole and are at right angles to the Equator.
Are parallels numbered 0 to 90 east and west?
No. Parallels of latitude mark angles north and south of the equator.\ if this is a true and false then false
What are Imaginary lines which run at right angles to the equator?
They are lines of constant latitude, all parallel to the equator.
What is imaginary lines that run parallel to the Equator?
there are two names i can think of: lines of latitude and also parallels
What is the name of lines of latitude that are north of the equator?
Except for a very few specific ones, the lines don't have names. The lines that mark latitudes north of the equator are "parallels of north latitude".
The parallels above the equator are which direction?
north
What are the lines north are south of the equator called?
"parallels" of latitude
Is the distance north and south of the equator it is noted by?
Latitude, parallels
What is the starting point for numbering parallels on a map?
The numbering of parallels on a map begins at the Equator with zero degrees. Degrees ae counted away from the equator, both to the north and to the south. The north Ppole is 90 degrees north of the Equator and the South Pole is 90 degree south of the Equator.

Measurements for distances from the parallels are made in degrees parallels north of the equator are labeled with a N and those south of the equator are labeled with a S.?
Yes, yes. Go on. I think you've got it.

Where do latitude lines start and what is their other name?
Lines of latitude are called parallels. The lines start at the equator and are located north and south of the equator.
Are parallels numbered from 0 to 90 degrees from east and west?
Parallels of north latitude range from 0° at the equator to 90° at the north pole, and parallels of south latitude range from 0° at the equator to 90° at the south pole. Saying that parallels could be numbered from 0 to 90° makes it sound like there are only 91 of them when in fact the distance between the poles can theoretically be subdivided infinitely.
