Parallels of north latitude range from 0° at the equator to 90° at the north pole, and parallels of south latitude range from 0° at the equator to 90° at the south pole.
Saying that parallels could be numbered from 0 to 90° makes it sound like there are only 91 of them when in fact the distance between the poles can theoretically be subdivided infinitely.

How are parallels of latitude numbered?
Parallels of latitude are numbered by degrees north or south of the equator. The equator is zero degrees, while the north pole is at 90N and the south pole at 90S. Depending on the scale of your map or the size of your globe, the printed lines of latitude may be every degree, every 5 degrees or every 15 degrees.
Are parallels numbered 0 to 90 east and west?
No. Parallels of latitude mark angles north and south of the equator.\ if this is a true and false then false
What are the 4 characteristics of parallels?
Parallels are lines that run east-west on the globe. Parallels are always parallel to each other and do not intersect. Parallels are measured in degrees of latitude. The equator is the most famous parallel, located at 0 degrees latitude.
What are the east west lines called on maps and globes?
They represent degrees of latitude.
Which direction do even numbered interstates roads run?
West to East or East to West
How are the parallels and meridians numbered?
They are numbered in degrees and fractions of degrees. Parallels also known as latitudes are measured north and south of the equator up to a maximum of 90 degrees north or south. Meridians or longitudes are measured east and west from the prime meridian which passes through Greenwich in London, up to 180 degrees.

How are the paralles and meridians numbered?
The 'parallels' of latitude are numbered in degrees north or south of the equator, from zero to 90 degrees. The equator is zero; the poles are 90 degrees north/south. The meridians of longitude all pass through the poles. They're numbered in degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian, from zero to 180 degrees. The Prime Meridian ... the line defined as zero longitude ... is the meridian that joins the north and south poles and passes through Greenwich, England. (That's the origin of the terms "near east", "middle east", and "far east" ... they're the regions that are near, medium, and far to the east, beginning in England at the prime meridian.)

Latitude!!!
What are parallels that circle earth from east to west?
Latitude
Which direction do parallels run on a map?
Parallels run east-west on a map. They are lines of latitude that are parallel to the equator.
