It runs from East to West/West to East
North and South
Lines of latitude, or parallels, run horizontally around the Earth (east-to-west or west-to-east).
The longitudinal lines run north-south across the globe, splitting Earth up into the eastern and western hemispheres.
Latitude lines run east-west, but measure north and south. Longitude lines run north-south, but measure east and west.
Lines parallel to the equator.
no
'Lines' of latitude remain where they are at and do not run. Since every point on the same parallel of latitude is at the same north or south latitude, the only directions left for it to extend in length are east and west.
longitude
East to West
East-West
Technically, North. Basic compass directions can be separated into two categories: those that run the lines of latitude, East and West; and those that run the lines of longitude, North and South. The lines of longitude converge to single points at the poles, and are all of equal length. The lines of latitude, however, run parallel to each other, and get shorter as they approach the poles. The poles are the extreme north and south ends of the planet. Take, for example, the south pole. if you walk around it in a circle, you would be walking exactly along a line of latitude. Needless to say, the compass directions are not as helpful at those extremes.
No. Parallel lines are lines that extend in the same direction. In a triangle the lines go in different directions.
