Lines of latitude are often referred to as "parallels" because they run parallel to each other and are equidistant from one another, maintaining a consistent distance throughout. This characteristic allows them to represent degrees of latitude on the Earth's surface, helping to identify locations north or south of the equator. The term "parallel" signifies their uniformity and the way they circle the globe horizontally, unlike lines of longitude, which converge at the poles.
