-- Latitude is the angle of any location relative to the equator.-- If you travel from the north pole to the south pole, you travel half-way aroundthe Earth (180 degrees), and you cover every possible position on Earth relative tothe equator.

Why are latitude lines considered paralles and longitude lines are not?

Just like parallel lines on a flat surface, no two parallels of latitude ever meet.Just like non-parallel lines on a flat surface, any two meridians of longitude do meet.In fact, ALL meridians of longitude meet, at both the north and the south poles.

Why are lines of latitudes called paralles?

Yes. Latitude lines are often referred to as "lines of parallel" because they represent planes through the Earth. Their points on the Earth's surface are defined by the same angle : the angle between a line from Earth's center (to each point) and a line to the corresponding point on the equator. Note that this means the distance between degrees of latitude is constant (approx. 69 miles or 111 km), while longitudinal lines get closer together as you move poleward.
