"Zero latitude" is the line closest to the equator, because it's the definition of the equator itself.
Once you leave the equator, there's no such thing as the "closest line". Any parallel of latitude
you draw, no matter how close it is to the equator, I can always draw one that's closer. There's
no 'official' set of lines. You can draw as few or as many lines as you want, wherever you want them.

What line run parallel to the equator?
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
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 two things do lines of longitude and landitude run?
Lines of latitude run round the earth parallel to the Equator. Lines of longitude run from pole to pole, crossing the Equator at 90 degrees.
Another name for lines of latitude is what?
That line has often been called the "Equator" in song and story, and on maps as well, too.
What line run parallel to the equator?
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
Is the equator perpendicular or parallel?
A single line cannot be perpendicular or parallel. These are attributes of two (or more) lines.
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
Does a trapazoid have one or two parallel lines?
A trapezoid has one pair of parallel lines.
What two things do lines of longitude and landitude run?
Lines of latitude run round the earth parallel to the Equator. Lines of longitude run from pole to pole, crossing the Equator at 90 degrees.
Does a square only have one side of parallel lines?
One side cannot be parallel because parallel is a relationship between two lines (or sides). A square has two pairs of parallel lines.
Two lines lie in one plane if and only if the lines are parallel?
Two lines are coplanar iff they are parallel OR intersect.
Most deserts are located near the traffic of cancer in the tropic of Capricorn which parallel lines midway between these two lines?
The equator
What parallel divides Earth into two equal parts?
The equator or any of the lines of longitude (which meet at the poles).
What is at the intersection of the equator and the tropic of cancer?
There is no intersection. These two imaginary lines are parallel. Every point on the Tropic of Cancer is 23.5 degrees from the equator, no more and no less. The lines don't meet.
When are two lines nonintersecting?
When two lines are parallel, then they do not intersect.
