the Tropic of Cancer
Lines of constant latitude are all parallel to each other.
You have answered the question for yourself ; They are 'Latitudes''. Longitudes (Meridians) are lines that run North to South from the North Pole to the South Pole. Longitudes come to a point at the poles, but spread out to a maximum at the Equator.
All lines of latitude are parallel to the Equator, except the poles ,which are dot/points.
Well one line of latitude is called the 'equator'.
Parallels are also called lines of constant latitude, on maps and globes.
The vertical ray of the sun will strike near the Tropic of Cancer, which is approximately 23.5 degrees north latitude on June 12 at noon. This occurrence is known as the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.
The parallel of latitude that runs 66° 33′ 44″ (or 66.5622°) north of the Equator.
Lines of latitude are known as parallels.

The latitude of the Huang He is approximately the 40th parallel north. It is also known as the Yellow River.

They are known as parallels - a bit of a misnomer, really, because there are no parallel lines on the surface of a sphere: lines of latitude themselves are not lines, but circles, except for the equator.

A strike-slip plate boundary is a type of transform plate boundary where two tectonic plates slide horizontally past each other. The movement is typically parallel to the boundary and can result in earthquakes. The San Andreas Fault in California is a well-known example of a strike-slip plate boundary.
Imaginary lines connecting places of the same latitude are known as parallels. These lines run parallel to the Equator and help in measuring distances on the Earth's surface horizontally.
