The angular distance north or south of the earths equator, measured in degrees, along a meridian, as on the map or globe.
-- 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.
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.
Yes.
The equator is zero latitude.
There are 90 degrees latitude from the equator (zero degrees latitude) to the North Pole.
The 49th paralles.

Hi everyone
A parallelogram
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.
An arrowhead or a kite are two examples.
the senate leadership in the claosely paralles leadership in the House, but the senate has no speaker.
no they cannot paralles show distance from the equatorin degrees
Two (or more) lines are parallel if they are pointing in the same (or exactly opposite) directions.

Yes.
The current if the light bulbs are parallel is I= V/R where V is the voltage and R is the resistance of the bulb.
