A basic geography questions - Do all of the parallels and the meridians cross each other at right angles on both the globe and Mercator?

On a globe, parallels and meridians do not intersect at right angles; only the equator and the prime meridian intersect perpendicular to each other. On a Mercator projection map, the meridians appear as straight lines converging at the poles, while the parallels are equally spaced horizontally, giving the illusion that they intersect at right angles, when in reality that is not the case.

Differences between parallels and meridians?

-- Parallels are associated with latitudes. Meridians are associated with longitudes. -- Parallels are parallel, and no tweo parallels intersect. All meridians intersect all other meridians, at two places. -- Every point on a parallel has the same latitude. Every point on a meridian has the same longitude. -- Every parallel in the same hemisphere has a different length. Every meridian on Earth has the same length. -- Every parallel is a full circle. Every meridian is a semi-circle. -- Every parallel crosses all longitudes. Every meridian crosses all latitudes. -- The distance between two parallels is the same at every longitude. The distance between two meridians depends on the latitude where it's measured. -- To cross all parallels, you only have to travel 12,000 miles. To cross all meridians, you have to travel 24,000 miles.
