At the poles, the idea of longitude is essentially meaningless. Take a few steps either way; your longitude will depend on which way you walked. Of course, from the pole itself every direction is "South", which makes navigation a little challenging.....
Lines of latitude run round the earth parallel to the Equator. Lines of longitude run from pole to pole, crossing the Equator at 90 degrees.
lines of equal longitude, a.k.a. meridians
No. Lines of longitude or meridians are not parallel.
Lines of Longitude are imaginary lines that run from the North Pole to the South Pole. The main line of longitude, the Prime Meridian (zero longitude), passes through the Greenwich Observatory, London, England.
The lines of longitude run from pole to pole.
Longitude lines run from pole to pole.

The lines that run North-South on the earth and end at the two poles are called the meridians of constant Longitude.
