Why aren't all parallels equal in length like meridians are?
There's a simple answer: The earth is a sphere and the parallels are, well, parallel to each other. So obviously the ones closer to the poles are shorter than the ones closest to the Ecuator. As for the meridians all meet at one point ehich are the poles, so they are all the same length.
What is the angle of intersection of all parallels and meridians on the earth?
90 degrees
What distinguishes the northern parallels from the southern parallels?
an arrow pointing to the east
Is square a parallelogram with all sides equal?
Not unless all angles are also equal. A rhombus is a parallelogram with all sides equal. A rectangle is a parallelogram with all angles equal. A square is a rhombus with all angles equal which is a parallelogram with all sides equal and all angles equal.
What two parallels of Latitude is Italy situated?
Italy occupies all latitudes within the range of about 36.65° -- 47.09° North.
Do side parallels have to be equal?
Not in length but equal distance from each other

What are Imaginary lines which run at right angles to the equator?
They are lines of constant latitude, all parallel to the equator.
Differences between parallels and meridians?
-- Parallels are associated with latitudes. Meridians are associated with longitudes. -- Parallels are parallel, and no tweo parallels intersect. All meridians intersect all other meridians, at two places. -- Every point on a parallel has the same latitude. Every point on a meridian has the same longitude. -- Every parallel in the same hemisphere has a different length. Every meridian on Earth has the same length. -- Every parallel is a full circle. Every meridian is a semi-circle. -- Every parallel crosses all longitudes. Every meridian crosses all latitudes. -- The distance between two parallels is the same at every longitude. The distance between two meridians depends on the latitude where it's measured. -- To cross all parallels, you only have to travel 12,000 miles. To cross all meridians, you have to travel 24,000 miles.
What parallels lies in between the tropic of cancer and the tropic of capicorn?

How many parallels are there?

What are the characteristics of a world globe?
1) all meridians are of equal length; each is one-half the length of the equator 2) All meridians converge at the poles and are true north-south lines 3) all lines of latitude (parallels) are parallel to the equator and to each other 4) parallels decrease in length as one nears the poles 5) meridians and parallels intersect at right angles
Do all parallels meet at the equator?
No. Parallel lines never cross.
What is the angle of intersection of all parallels and meridians on the earth?
