Every line of constant latitude is parallel to all others.
That's why they're often called "parallels" of latitude.
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.
Lines of constant latitude are all parallel to each other.
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.
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.
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.
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.
-- 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.
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.
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.
The imaginary semi-circular "lines" of constant longitude are "meridians". The imaginary full-circular "lines" of constant latitude are "parallels".
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 all parallel to each other, and are parallel to the horizon on many printed maps.
