i believe a meridian are the imaginary lines going around the globe, for example, the Equator. Parallels are the imaginary lines going around the globe from the north to the south poles

What is the difference between unlawful and illegal riddle?

There is no practical difference between unlawful and illegal; they both refer to something that is against the law. In a riddle context, the use of 'unlawful' or 'illegal' could be a play on words to confuse the listener, but they essentially mean the same thing.


What are the laws governing parallel circuit?

Well, this is a nice question. I will just try to answer it. Note that the combined resistance in parallel will always be less than any of the individual resistances. In the parallel system, there is a separate independent path from the source to each resistance and back to the source, therefore each has the same voltage drop. This means that the voltage must be the same at each point in the parallel circuits. There are three rules governing simple parallel circuits of resistive elements: 1. Voltage across each resistor is the same as the voltage across the parallel combination. 2. The current flowing through the parallel combination is the sum of the current in the separate branches. 3. Summing resistance of a parallel circuit can be stated as follows: The reciprocal of the total resistance is equal to the sum of the reciprocals of each of the individual resistances. So that you can have more information about series and parallel circuits, just try to visit the website....: http://elpaso.apogee.net/foe/fcsppr.asp


Is there a difference between guilty and liable?

Guilty and Liable both mean that you are responsible by law. However, you are "liable" in civil cases and determined "guilty" in criminal cases. There is also a difference between state (liable) and federal (guilty).


Is there any difference between operator and technician?

Yes, there is a difference between operator and technician. An operator typically oversees the day-to-day operation of machinery or systems, following set procedures. A technician, on the other hand, is responsible for maintaining, repairing, and troubleshooting technical equipment or systems.

What is the difference between parallels and meridians?

Parallels, as the name inplies, run parallel to each other in an east-west orientation. Meridians run through both poles, and so cannot be parallel.


Is the equator parallel to the 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'.

What lines on a map that run parallel to the Prime Meridian?

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.


Is the equator a parallel or 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.
