Every line of constant latitude is parallel to all others.

That's why they're often called "parallels" of latitude.

Which one line is parallel latitude or longitude?

All 'lines' of latitude are parallel to all others.No meridian of longitude is parallel to any others.-- All 'lines' of latitude are parallel to all others.-- No meridian of longitude is parallel to any other one.


Of longitude and latitude which is parallel?

Lines of constant latitude are all parallel to each other.


Are latitude and longitude lines curve or straight?

Latitude lines are parallel straight lines that run east-west, while longitude lines are not parallel to each other and appear curved when projected onto a map. Longitude lines converge at the poles and are widest at the equator.


Which lines-latitude or longitude-are always the same distance from each other no matter where they are on the planet?

Lines of latitude are always the same distance from each other, as they run parallel to the equator. Each degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles apart. Lines of longitude converge at the poles and are farthest apart at the equator.


Do Lines of Longitude run parallel to each other?

Latitude lines run parallel to the Equator while longitudinal lines (also called meridians) run north-south. The latitude angle ranges from 0 degrees at the Equator to 90 degrees at either the north or south pole.


Which lines on a global grid are not parallel?

On a global grid, lines that are not parallel include the lines of longitude, or meridians, which converge at the poles, and the lines of latitude, or parallels, which remain equidistant from each other. While lines of latitude are parallel to one another, the lines of longitude intersect at the poles and are therefore not parallel. This difference results in a spherical geometry where the spatial relationships between these lines are defined by the curvature of the Earth.


Which lines of longitude and latitude vary in length?

-- All meridians of longitude have the same length ... they all join the north and south poles. -- Each parallel of north latitude has the same length as the parallel at the equal south latitude, but no other one.


Where do the lines of latitude converge which means come to a single point?

Lines of latitude are all parallel to each other, so do not converge. Lines of longitude do converge, at the north and the south poles.


Do all lines of latitude and longitude intersect at right angles?

No. All of them do but two. The latitude lines at 90 degrees North and South actually coincide with the intersection of all longitudinal lines. So technically, because they coincide, they do not form any angle.


What is the other name for line?

The imaginary semi-circular "lines" of constant longitude are "meridians". The imaginary full-circular "lines" of constant latitude are "parallels".


Is it true that the lines of latitude called meridians never touch?

No, this statement is false. Meridians are lines of longitude that converge at the poles, meaning they touch at the poles. Lines of latitude, however, like the equator, never intersect and are always parallel to each other.


Lines of latitude are parallel to it?

Lines of latitude are all parallel to each other, and are parallel to the horizon on many printed maps.
