Usually NOT - because maps are a projection from a sphere to a plane. In a normal map, the further away from the equator you are, the more stretched out the map is.

What are parallels on a map?
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.
The parralle lines ona map are lines of?
Parallel lines found on a map correspond to latitude.
What map tell you the number of inches on the map for every mile that the map represents?
The map's scale
What would 1 inch on a map of the us equal in miles?
It depends on the size of the map. Therefore, the length varies.
What is one inch on a map scale in miles?
That really depends on the sort of map. Cause its different with every map.
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 is a parallel on a map?
a latitude
Which lines are parallel to each other on map?
The lines are parallel on the map are called Latitudes.
What lines on a map that run parallel to the Prime Meridian?
The only lines that can run parallel to the Prime Meridian on any map are other meridians of longitude, and the only map on which they can be printed parallel to it is a Mercator Projection. They are not really parallel to the Prime Meridian.
In which direction do parallel lines go on a map?
It depends on the scale of the map. On a map of the world or a continent, the parallel lines will generally go horizontally across the map - East to West. For a large scale map, showing a small country or a local area, the vertical lines (North - South) will also be shown as parallel.
Why was the Vietnam separation called 17th parallel?
It followed the 17th parallel of latitude on the map.
The intersecting parallel meridian lines in a globe or map?
Meridians are not parallel. Apart from that, what is the question?
What are the set of imaginary lines that run east to west on a map or a globe?
The parallel lines that run from east to west on a map show lines of longitude. Latitude specifies the north-south position of a point on the Earth's surface.
The parralle lines ona map are lines of?
Parallel lines found on a map correspond to latitude.
Why does 1 inch not equal the same amount of miles on every map?
Some maps show larger territories and it is necessary to reduce the scale to fit everything on the page. A map of your state and a map of your town wouldn't fit on the same piece of paper at the same scale.
What is Mercator projection map?
The sphere of the Earth is projected (mapped) onto a cylinder. (So all latitudes are the same length.)
