The Equator.
They are sometimes called parallels. They are parallel to the equator, zero degrees latitude, and parallel to each other. They are all circles, except for the poles which are points.A parallel is another name for a line of latitude because all lines of latitude are parallel to each other.Graticule .parallels
All parallels, or latitudes, cross 0 degrees longitude. 0 degrees longitude is the prime meridian. 0 degrees latitude, or parallel, is the equator
0 degress latitude is the Equator and 0 degress longitude is the Greenwich Meridian.
That's the equator.
A line of constant longitude is often called a "meridian". A line of constant latitude is often called a "parallel".
