The equator is the parallel of zero latitude.
San Francisco is between the 38th parallel and the 37th parallel. It is also located on about the 122nd meridian west.
The 30th parallel south and 30th meridian east intersect in southern Africa. One of the cities closest to this intersection is Windhoek, the capital of Namibia.
There are two different 40th parallels. -- If you mean the parallel of 40° south latitude, then Denver is about 5,500 miles north of it. -- If you're referring to the parallel of 40° north latitude, the center of downtown Denver is about 16 miles south of that one.
A magnetic meridian is a line passing through a location connecting its magnetic north and south poles, while a geographical meridian is a line passing through a location connecting its geographic north and south poles. The magnetic meridian is affected by the Earth's magnetic field, while the geographical meridian is based on the Earth's rotation.
The prime meridian, sometimes called the Greenwich meridian, passes through parts of Europe, Africa, and Antarctica.
Meridian
Nothing is parallel to any meridian. The equator is a parallel of latitude, and is parallel to all the other parallels. This is a big part of the reason that, collectively, they are called 'parallels'.
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.
The equator is the parallel of zero latitude.
It is a parallel. It is parallel to the equator.
Parallel: 0o latitude
The only lines that can run parallel to the Prime Meridian on any map are other meridians of longitude, and the only map on which they can be printed parallel to it is a Mercator Projection. They are not really parallel to the Prime Meridian.
The equator is a parallel because it is a line of latitude that circles the Earth horizontally, dividing it into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
parallel
Vertical lines parallel to the prime meridian are lines of longitude.
There are no geographic lines that are parallel to the Prime Meridian. Technically, every meridian of longitude is parallel to every other meridian of longitude, but only over an infinitesimal distance north or south of the equator. I'm quite sure that's not what you're looking for.
