What is also known as parallels?
Parallels are also called lines of constant latitude, on maps and globes.
Lines of latitude are also called what?
Parallels and meridians. Circles parallel to the Equator (lines running east and west) are parallels of latitude. They are used to measure degrees of latitude north or south of the Equator. Meridians of longitude are drawn from the North Pole to the South Pole and are at right angles to the Equator.
What is another name for latitude?
Sometimes they will be called parallels. The middle is the equator (as you know.).
Do Lines Of Latitude Ever Intersect One Another?
No, lines of latitude (parallels) are always parallel to each other and never intersect. They are all equidistant from each other and used to measure distances north or south from the equator.
What is another name for latitude lines?
Another name for latitude lines is parallels. These lines run parallel to the equator and are used to measure how far north or south a location is from the equator.
What is also known as parallels?
Parallels are also called lines of constant latitude, on maps and globes.
Parallels run which directions?
Theoretically, parallels run horizontally around the Earth, parallel to the equator. They are used to measure latitude and are equidistant from each other.
Do parallel liines lie on the same plane?
They usually do. But latitudes, which measure distances from the equator and which, on earth, are called the parallels of latitude, do not lie in a plane.
Parallels are used to measure longitude or latitude?
latitude longitudes are known as meridians
Lines of latitude are also called what?
Parallels and meridians. Circles parallel to the Equator (lines running east and west) are parallels of latitude. They are used to measure degrees of latitude north or south of the Equator.

No, lines of latitude (parallels) are always parallel to each other and never intersect. They are all equidistant from each other and used to measure distances north or south from the equator.
What are earth's parallels called?
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.
Parallels measure distance from the equator to this?
Parallels measure distance from the equator to the poles, specifically the North and South Poles. They are lines of latitude, with the equator at 0 degrees latitude and the poles at 90 degrees latitude. Each degree of latitude corresponds to approximately 69 miles (111 kilometers) on the Earth's surface.
What is another name for latitude lines?
Another name for latitude lines is parallels. These lines run parallel to the equator and are used to measure how far north or south a location is from the equator.
Imaginary lines of measure distances from south and north of the equator?
latitude
What direction does lines of latitude or parallels measure ditances?
The lines don't measure anything, any more than the marks on a ruler do any measuring for you. Latitude is an angle on the Earth's surface. It's the angle, measured north or south, from the equator to whatever location you want to talk about. On a map or globe, there may be some lines printed along the way, to help estimate the angle.
