Latitude parallels are imaginary lines that run parallel to the equator, used to measure degrees of latitude north or south of the equator. They are horizontal lines on a map or globe, with the equator designated as 0 degrees latitude. Each parallel is spaced evenly, with the poles at 90 degrees north and south. These lines help in navigation and geographic orientation by providing a reference for locating positions on Earth.
parallels is the name
They are lines of constant latitude, all parallel to the equator.
Sometimes they will be called parallels. The middle is the equator (as you know.).
They are lines of Latitude.
Flat, they run straight across, horizontal!Those words came to my mind!============================Only if you hold your map with north either up or down.Regardless of how you hold your map, lines of latitude are parallelto each other, and are often called 'parallels' of latitude.
Circles of latitude are also know as parallels.

Lines of Latitude (parallels) run from the Equator (0 latitude) to both the north and to the south, ascending. The northern most latitude is 90° North, and the southern most latitude is 90° South.
