Not necessarily parallel paths but they usually fly in 'corridors' that offer good weather features like tailwinds (which saves on fuel !) They can more or less fly whatever route they want - so long as they stay away from military airspace zones. Also unless they're on approach to an airstrip, they must maintain a separation distance of five miles horizontally, and five hundred feet vertically.
An antonym for "parallel" is "perpendicular." While parallel lines run in the same direction and never intersect, perpendicular lines intersect at a right angle, typically 90 degrees. Another possible antonym could be "divergent," which describes lines or paths that move away from each other.
The lines can be infinitely long, but they will never cross paths.
Intersect
parallel paths are conductors where current direction is same
Cross, cross paths, run across, meet
Perpendicular Lines are two or more lines that will intersect (come together) at some point along their paths. Paralell lines are 2 or more lines that will never intersect at any point in their paths.
Lines of latitude are parallel to each other and never intersect because they are equidistant from the equator. As they run east-west around the globe, they maintain a consistent distance from each other, ensuring that they never touch or cross paths. This unique characteristic makes lines of latitude a useful reference point for determining locations on Earth's surface.
In a parallel circuit, each component is connected directly to the power source, resulting in multiple electrical paths. The number of electrical paths in a parallel circuit is equal to the number of components connected in parallel.
Neptune's orbit and Uranus' orbit are never meeting, but Pluto and Neptune do have their orbits cross. :)

If each lamp is connected in parallel, then there are three 'paths' that draw current from the supply.
A parallel circuit has multiple paths for current to flow. Each branch in a parallel circuit offers a separate path for the current, providing multiple routes for electricity to travel from the source to the load.
