The equator is a parallel.

Meridians are imaginary semi-circles that connect the north and south poles.

"Parallels" are imaginary full circles around the Earth, and every point on a parallel

is the same distance from a pole.

The equator is the longest parallel. Every point on it is equal distances from

both the north and south poles. The latitude of the equator is zero, and all

other latitudes are measured from it.
