All lines of latitude are parallel to each other. The equator is the line of latitude at 0 degrees. Lines of latitude in the northern hemisphere have a positive latitude or are designated with "N" for North. Likewise, lines latitude in the Southern Hemisphere have a negative latitude or are designated with "S" for South.
For example, the continental US (not including Hawaii and Alaska) is contained within the lines of latitude at 25 N and 50 N.
What else can I help you with?
All areas north of the Arctic Circle are known as the what latitudes?
high latitudes
Why are longitudes parallel?
They aren't, latitudes are.
What are lines that run parallel from the equator called?
There are no parallel lines that run FROM the equator. Lines that are parallel TO the equator are the latitudes.
Why are latitudes concentric but longitudes meet at the poles?
Latitudes are parallel to the equator. Longitudes converge like elastics on a soccer ball.
What parallel of latitudes divides the India into two halves halves?
equator
Which lines are parallel to each other on map?
The lines are parallel on the map are called Latitudes.
Are longitudes and latitudes parallels lines?
Latitude lines are parallel but not longitude lines.
What are areas north of the Arctic Circle called?
Parallel latitudes
What is the term for the imaginary parallel lines that circles the earth?
Latitude and LongitudeLatitude is the lines that go from east to west, and longitude from north to south.
Which map is an equal area projection where latitudes are represented by parallel lines but longitudes are represented by ellipses?
The map you are referring to is likely the Mollweide projection. It is an equal-area projection that represents latitudes as straight parallel lines and longitudes as elliptical arcs. This projection aims to minimize distortion in terms of area, but distorts shapes and distances.
Do parallel liines lie on the same plane?
They usually do. But latitudes, which measure distances from the equator and which, on earth, are called the parallels of latitude, do not lie in a plane.
What lines that run parallel on the earth called?
Lines that run parallel on the Earth are called latitude lines. These lines measure the distance north or south of the Equator and help to identify locations on the globe.
