What parallels are not circles?
If two circles are drawn using the same centre, the two lines of the circles are parallel as they don't meet each other.Two straight lines (think of railway tracks) are drawn next to each other, but never meet, they are parallel lines.
Why does Pi work for all circles?
Because all circles are similar.
Are all parallels equal?
Yes of course!
Why are lines of longitude called great circles?
Because they make big circles around the Earth.
What are all the shapes in geometry?
There are a great many different shapes that are in Geometry. There are squares, circles, triangles, rhombus', and hexagons for example.
Is latitude and parallels related?
Circles of latitude are also know as parallels.
Are circles of latitude and parallels of latitude the same?
Yes.
What parallel lines split the world?
"Parallels" or "Circles of Latitude".
Which parallels are not circles?
a cylinder
Why all meridians of longitude are semi-great-circles?
-- Each meridian joins the north and south poles, making it a semi-circle. -- The center of the circle of which it is a semi is at the center of the Earth, making it a 'great' one. Among parallels of latitude, only the equator is a great circle.
What is another name for a line of a latitude?
They are sometimes called parallels. They are parallel to the equator, zero degrees latitude, and parallel to each other. They are all circles, except for the poles which are points.A parallel is another name for a line of latitude because all lines of latitude are parallel to each other.Graticule .parallels
Is another name for a line of latitude?
Linesof latitude are also known as circles of latitude or parallels.
What is a another name for latitude lines?

What are the total number of parallels at an interval of 5 degree?
-- Since you're asking for "parallels", we know that the discussion concerns latitude.-- The total extent of latitude on the Earth is 180 degrees.-- The north and south poles are degenerate "parallels", i.e. circles with zero radiusat 90 degrees north and south latitude.-- If we draw in all the rest of the parallels between the poles at intervals of5 degrees, we'll need to draw 35 of them.
What is River partially parallels the Great Wall?
The Indian river is the one that parallels
What are the invisible lines the form east-west circles around earth called?
You're thinking of 'parallels of constant latitude'.
Why are the equator and all lines of longitude called great circles?
The equator and all lines of longitude are called great circles because the represent the circumference of the earth. The other latitude lines along the globe are smaller then the actually circumference.
