A mercator projection is a cylindrical map which was developed as a navigation tool. It displays line of longitude as parallel to each other.
All 'lines' of latitude are parallel to all others.No meridian of longitude is parallel to any others.-- All 'lines' of latitude are parallel to all others.-- No meridian of longitude is parallel to any other one.
Lines of constant latitude are all parallel to each other.
Because The lines of Longitude cross over each other at the top of the world which makes them not parallel. Parallel: Lines that never cross or meet And always stay the same distance apart.
No. Lines of longitude or meridians are not parallel.
Latitude lines are parallel straight lines that run east-west, while longitude lines are not parallel to each other and appear curved when projected onto a map. Longitude lines converge at the poles and are widest at the equator.

because they merge at the poles... they seem to be parallel near the equtor region..n remenber parallel lines nver meet each other... n due to the shape of our earth these lines merge at poles...

meridians are imaginary lines that are not parallel to each other.
Latitude lines are parallel straight lines that run east-west, while longitude lines are not parallel to each other and appear curved when projected onto a map. Longitude lines converge at the poles and are widest at the equator.
Yes No, lines of longitude are as parallel to each other as the earth is flat. All longitudes intersect at the north and south poles.
On a global grid, lines that are not parallel include the lines of longitude, or meridians, which converge at the poles, and the lines of latitude, or parallels, which remain equidistant from each other. While lines of latitude are parallel to one another, the lines of longitude intersect at the poles and are therefore not parallel. This difference results in a spherical geometry where the spatial relationships between these lines are defined by the curvature of the Earth.
Parallel lines never meet. On the other hand, every pair of longitudes meets at the Earth's North and South Poles.
There are no geographic lines that are parallel to the Prime Meridian. Technically, every meridian of longitude is parallel to every other meridian of longitude, but only over an infinitesimal distance north or south of the equator. I'm quite sure that's not what you're looking for.
All meridians of longitude begin and end at the same two points ... the north and south poles. Although they all appear parallel to each other as they cross the equator, I guess it's more comfortable to say that they're not parallel, since they all intersect.
