Another name for latitude lines is parallels. These lines run parallel to the equator and are used to measure how far north or south a location is from the equator.
The lines on the globe are not called "latitude", any more than the marks on a thermometer are called "temperature". The lines on the globe that mark intervals of latitude are called "parallels" of latitude.
A Parallel - because they are imaginary lines that run around the earth parallel to the equator
The term that indicates imaginary parallel lines that circle the Earth is "latitude." Latitude lines, also known as parallels, run horizontally around the globe and are measured in degrees north or south of the Equator, which is at 0 degrees latitude. These lines help in identifying locations and navigating the Earth's surface.
Each 'meridian' is a line of constant longitude.
The other name that is used for lines latitude is parallels. The main latitude is the equator which is at zero degrees.
Meridian
latitude lines is another name for parallels and longitude lines are called meridians
Another name for latitude lines is parallels. These lines run parallel to the equator and are used to measure how far north or south a location is from the equator.
Lines of Latitude.
The lines on the globe are not called "latitude", any more than the marks on a thermometer are called "temperature". The lines on the globe that mark intervals of latitude are called "parallels" of latitude.

For Maps, it is latitude and longitude.
