i believe a meridian are the imaginary lines going around the globe, for example, the Equator. Parallels are the imaginary lines going around the globe from the north to the south poles

A meridian is a line of longitude running north-south on the Earth's surface, while a parallel is a line of latitude running east-west. Meridians converge at the poles, while parallels are equidistant from each other. Meridians help in determining time zones, while parallels help in measuring distance from the equator.

What is the difference between unlawful and illegal riddle?
There is no practical difference between unlawful and illegal; they both refer to something that is against the law. In a riddle context, the use of 'unlawful' or 'illegal' could be a play on words to confuse the listener, but they essentially mean the same thing.
What are the laws governing parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit, the total voltage across each branch is the same, and the total current is the sum of the currents flowing through each branch. The total resistance in a parallel circuit decreases as more branches are added. Ohm's Law can be applied to calculate the voltage, current, or resistance in each branch of a parallel circuit.
Is there a difference between guilty and liable?
Guilty and Liable both mean that you are responsible by law. However, you are "liable" in civil cases and determined "guilty" in criminal cases. There is also a difference between state (liable) and federal (guilty).
Is there any difference between operator and technician?

Is the equator a parallel or meridian?
The equator is parallel not meridian
What are the three difference between equator and prime meridian?
differences between equator and prime meridian
What lines on a map that run parallel to the Prime Meridian?
The only lines that can run parallel to the Prime Meridian on any map are other meridians of longitude, and the only map on which they can be printed parallel to it is a Mercator Projection. They are not really parallel to the Prime Meridian.
Is the tropic of cancer parallel or meridian?
parallel
Is the international date lines a parallel or a meridian?
Meridian
What is the difference between parallels and meridians?
Parallels, as the name inplies, run parallel to each other in an east-west orientation. Meridians run through both poles, and so cannot be parallel.
What is the difference between the east and west hemisphere?
The main difference between the eastern and western hemispheres is their geographical location. The eastern hemisphere includes parts of Africa, Asia, Europe, and Australia, while the western hemisphere includes parts of North and South America. Additionally, the eastern hemisphere is often associated with older civilizations and cultures, while the western hemisphere is known for its more recent history of colonization and globalization.
Is the equator parallel to the meridian?
Nothing is parallel to any meridian. The equator is a parallel of latitude, and is parallel to all the other parallels. This is a big part of the reason that, collectively, they are called 'parallels'.
Which one line is parallel latitude or longitude?
All 'lines' of latitude are parallel to all others.No meridian of longitude is parallel to any others.-- All 'lines' of latitude are parallel to all others.-- No meridian of longitude is parallel to any other one.
Is the equator parallel or a meridian?
The equator is the parallel of zero latitude.
Is the tropic of cancer a parrallel or meridian?
It is a parallel. It is parallel to the equator.
Is the equatator a parallel or a meridian?
The equator is the parallel of zero latitude.
