The parallels at which Earth’s latitude is measured are known as lines of latitude or parallels. They run east-west around the globe and are used to specify the location of points north or south of the Equator. The Equator is at 0 degrees latitude, with the poles at 90 degrees north (North Pole) and 90 degrees south (South Pole). Other notable parallels include the Tropic of Cancer (23.5° N), Tropic of Capricorn (23.5° S), and the Arctic and Antarctic Circles (66.5° N and 66.5° S, respectively).
