Lines of latitude (except 90 degrees, the poles) circle the planet, as the equator does. Each line includes points within planes angled with respect to the equatorial plane, and in a plane parallel to it.
No two lines of latitude can intersect.
All meridians of longitude meet at the north and south poles. I'm not sure you
could actually say that they 'intersect', because their ends are at the poles and
they never actually cross.
For the same reason that two marks on a ruler don't touch.
If you measure the length of a piece of string and it stretches to 3 inches, it can't also be 4 inches long.
If a point on earth is 30 degrees from the equator, it can't also be 40 degrees from the equator.
Because lines of latitude are parallel and parallel lines, by definition, can not intersect.
the longitude lines cover the north and south which latitude does not
They do not because the latitude lines are used to locate how far north or south you are from the equator which is at 0.0000 degrees north and south
Latitudinal lines run parallel to each other, and never intersect. This is opposite of longitudinal lines which meet at the northernmost and southernmost point.
No two latitude lines touch each other anywhere.
That's why they're often called "parallels".
However, every latitude does touch every longitude.
No.
Not quite. Lines of latitude are called parallels, and they never touch each other. The meridians are lines of longitude, and all of them converge at the poles.
No. Every line of constant latitude is parallel to all others. No two of them ever touch or cross.
No. Just like parallel lines on a flat surface, any two lines of latitude that you choose are the same distance apart everywhere, they never cross, and they never touch. That's why they're often called "parallels" of latitude.
That line has often been called the "Equator" in song and story, and on maps as well, too.
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.
Lines of latitude are parallel to each other and never intersect because they are equidistant from the equator. As they run east-west around the globe, they maintain a consistent distance from each other, ensuring that they never touch or cross paths. This unique characteristic makes lines of latitude a useful reference point for determining locations on Earth's surface.
Every parallel of latitude crosses every meridian of longitude.

The lines that intercept latitude lines are lines of longitude.
Lines of latitude run parallel to the Equator (which is zero latitude).
