Meridians are the immaginary lines that run through the poles.
Lines that run parallel to the equator are called latitude lines or parallels.
Lines that run up and down on a map are called "longitude lines" or "meridians." These lines help indicate the east-west position or direction of a location on the Earth's surface.
North and South
Meridians of longitude run north and south. Parallels of latitude run east and west.
On a normal map or atlas they are vertical.

Lines that run parallel to the equator are called latitude lines or parallels.
There are no parallel lines that run FROM the equator. Lines that are parallel TO the equator are the latitudes.
parallel lines. they run side by side but never intersect
Longitude lines run from pole to pole.
The thin lines that run across a map are called longitude and latitude lines. Longitude lines run north to south, while latitude lines run east to west. These lines help in pinpointing specific locations on the Earth's surface.
Lines that run east and west is called Latitude. The opposite lines are known as longitude.
Parralell lines are lines that run together and will never meet. For example: __________ __________ Perpendicular lines are lines that run at a 90 degree angle to each other. For example: ____ | |
Perpendicular lines are lines that eventually intersect, and intersecting means when the run into eachother. For example, the "L" shape are two perpendicular lines because the lines run into eachother.
The lines that run north and south "or long ways" are longitude lines. East and west are latitude lines.
