Lines of longitude, called meridians, run perpendicular to lines of latitude, and all pass through both poles. Each longitude line is part of a great circle. There is no obvious 0-degree point for longitude, as there is for latitude.
If any line is north or south it has to be latitude, because longitude goes all the way around the earth, from pole to pole.
The imaginary lines on a map that measure distance from the equator are called latitude lines, or parallels. They run horizontally around the Earth and are expressed in degrees, with the equator at 0 degrees latitude. As you move toward the poles, the latitude increases, reaching 90 degrees at the North and South Poles. These lines help in determining locations and understanding climate zones.
'Distance' can't be measured in degrees.The angle from the equator to the place of interestis the latitude of the place.
Lines of latitude are called parallels because they run parallel to the equator and never intersect each other. They are always equidistant apart and are used to measure distance from the equator in degrees north or south.
Sometimes they will be called parallels. The middle is the equator (as you know.).
you know.. either both are equal..it is the line from the equator going to the north or south pole is 300,000 km . . . south and north are equal . . . its called OMANCIKZ LINE.. called the line of south and north...
The "lines" are called latitude lines.lines of latitude
It is called latitude.
Lines that run parallel on the Earth are called latitude lines. These lines measure the distance north or south of the Equator and help to identify locations on the globe.
Lines of latitude are also called parallels because they run parallel to the equator. They measure the distance north or south of the equator and are expressed in degrees.

the answer is longitude and latitude lines
Earth's parallels are called lines of latitude. They are imaginary lines that run parallel to the equator and are used to measure the distance north or south of the equator in degrees.
Latitude is the angle that describes the location of a place north or southof the equator. All lines of constant latitude are parallel.
The horizontal lines on a map are called latitude lines. They measure the distance north or south of the equator, which is at 0 degrees latitude. These lines are used in conjunction with vertical lines, known as longitude lines, to pinpoint locations on the Earth's surface.
There is no city called 'equator'. Please improve the question.
