The parallel lines that run from east to west on a map show lines of longitude. Latitude specifies the north-south position of a point on the Earth's surface.
-- Most of the imaginary lines on the surface are parallels of latitude, meridians of longitude, political boundaries, and shipping routes. -- The imaginary lines through the center of the globe are the axis and diameters.
The imaginary lines that run around the earth in an east-west direction are lines of latitude or parallels.
They are the lines of latitude, and they are also called parallels.
They are drawn on the earth as imaginary lines that run from east to west.
"Lines of Latitude" and "parallels" are both used. Please note that the "lines" are imaginary; you'll never see one on the ground. Just on a map.

Lines of Latitude
Each of those is a locus of constant latitude.
Those would be the 'parallels' of constant latitude.
The lines of latitude on a globe measure the distance east and west.

Latitude lines are imaginary lines that run East to West but measure North to South on the Globe. I remember latitude is fatitude. Longitude lines go North to South but measure East to West. I remember it as LONGitude.
