yes, yes they are a fifth grader would know that
Parallels are lines that run the same direction and are the always the same distance apart. On a map (and the Earth) the lines of latitude (measurement North and South of the equator) are parallel.
Lines of latitude are called parallels, because just like parallel lines on a flat surface, any two of them are always the same distance apart and never cross each other.

parellel lines
"Parallels" of latitude. Those are the lines that are drawn horizontal on the globe or map.
No two lines of constant latitude ever touch or cross each other. They are the same distance apart everywhere. That's why they're often referred to as "parallels" of latitude.
The longitude lines are always the same distance from each other.
Parallels are lines that run the same direction and are the always the same distance apart. On a map (and the Earth) the lines of latitude (measurement North and South of the equator) are parallel.
Parallel lines are the same distance apart for all points along the line.
Lines of latitude are also called parallels because they are all parallel to each other. Any two lines of latitude you choose are the same distance apart everywhere, and no two lines of latitude ever cross. Latitude 36 degrees north is called the 36th parallel north
No. Just like parallel lines on a flat surface, any two lines of latitude that you choose are the same distance apart everywhere, they never cross, and they never touch. That's why they're often called "parallels" of latitude.

Yes. Any two lines of latitude are the same distance apart everywhere, and they never meet or cross. This is a big part of the reason that they're often called "parallels" of latitude.
All lines of latitude are parallel to the Equator, so they are sometimes also referred to as parallels. =) Because just like parallel lines on a flat surface, any two of them are always the same distance apart and never cross each other.
