What is another name for latitude lines that circle the earth from east to west but measure from north to south?
Parallels! As you look at a globe map the lines of latitude are paralell if the globe is oriented with north totally vertical and you are far enough away. (no 23.5 degree slant). Since the Earth is nearly spherical your paralell view of the lines of latitude would only appear so from above the equator. Lines of latitude are the origin of the term nautical mile and knot.
