The only line that runs parallel through the equator is THE EQUATOR.
[The Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn are parallel to the equator, but are north and south of it (respectively) at 23.5 degrees. So they do not run through the equator.]
The lines of longitude all run through the equator, but they are not parallel to each other since they all meet up at both the North and South Poles.
Lines of latitude.
Yes. That's a big part of the reason why the lines are often called "parallels".
parallel lines. they run side by side but never intersect
parallel lines.....
Parallels are lines that run the same direction and are the always the same distance apart. On a map (and the Earth) the lines of latitude (measurement North and South of the equator) are parallel.
There are no parallel lines that run FROM the equator. Lines that are parallel TO the equator are the latitudes.
No. Longitudinal lines run parallel to the Prime Meridian. Latitudinal lines run parallel to the Equator.
Lines of Latitude encircle the Earth, running parallel to the Equator.
Lines that run parallel to the equator are called latitude lines or parallels.
Lines of latitude.
Lines of latitude run parallel to the Equator (which is zero latitude).
Lines of latitude circle the earth, parallel to the equator.
Lines of latitude run parallel to the equator. Lines of longitude run vertically - passing through both poles.
both latitide as horizontal and longitude as vertical
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
Latitude lines run parallel to the equator.
You have answered the question for yourself ; They are 'Latitudes''. Longitudes (Meridians) are lines that run North to South from the North Pole to the South Pole. Longitudes come to a point at the poles, but spread out to a maximum at the Equator.
