A line of latitude is the distance north/south from the equator, and they are always parallel to each other, which is another name used to refer lines of latitude, "parallels." It starts at 0 degrees, and goes to 90 degrees for both north and south.

∙ 11y agoLatitude is the north/south angle between the equator and a place of interest on
the Earth's surface. If you also have a number that tells its east/west position ...
such as for example the number called 'longitude' ... then the location of the place
is precisely defined.
"Lines" of latitude are a convenience, often printed on a map or globe and often
not. Like the marks on a ruler, they have no real significance and no effect on the
latitude itself.
