Latitude and Longitude
Latitude is the lines that go from east to west, and longitude from north to south.
Lines of longitude.
It is a set of imaginary lines on the surface of the Earth which parallel to the equator. They go from 90 degrees N, at the North Pole, to 0 degrees at the equator, to 90 deg S at the South Pole.
The imaginary parallel lines that run east-west are called lines of latitude. These lines measure the distance north or south of the equator and are used to establish the location of a place on the Earth's surface.

The lines are latitude,heat equator and pressure belts.
Meridian lines are halves of imaginary circles joining two diametrically opposite points on a sphere. For the earth the points are the geographical North and South poles. Parallel lines (parallels of latitudes) are a set of imaginary lines that are parallel to the equator - which is the line of points that are equidistant from the poles. These two sets of lines act as a set of coordinates for the surface of the earth.
Lines of longitude.
Lines of latitude are any of the circles, called parallels, that are to the north or to the south of the equator and parallel to it. They are the lines on standard maps that go from east to west; right-left.It is an imaginary line around the Earth parallel to the equator.
An invisible line that forms east-west circles around the Earth is called both parallel and line of latitude. An imaginary line that circles the earth from north to south is called both meridian and line of longitude.
Latitude lines are imaginary lines that are parallel to the equator to fix a position on earth (along with longitude lines which are imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator)
It is a set of imaginary lines on the surface of the Earth which parallel to the equator. They go from 90 degrees N, at the North Pole, to 0 degrees at the equator, to 90 deg S at the South Pole.
The circles could be in 2 planes that are parallel to each other. Lines and planes can be parallel. Lines of latitude are examples of circles that are in parallel planes.
The term that indicates imaginary parallel lines that circle the Earth is "latitude." Latitude lines run horizontally around the globe, measuring the distance north or south of the Equator. These lines are used in geographic coordinate systems to help locate positions on the Earth's surface.
The imaginary parallel lines that run east-west are called lines of latitude. These lines measure the distance north or south of the equator and are used to establish the location of a place on the Earth's surface.

No. The lines on maps are imaginary - they do not exist.
Earth's parallels are called lines of latitude. They are imaginary lines that run parallel to the equator and are used to measure the distance north or south of the equator in degrees.
