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.
