They are lines of constant latitude, all parallel to the equator.

∙ 14y agothere are two names i can think of: lines of latitude and also parallels
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoAll parallels of latitude are parallel to all others.
The equator is one of them.
Wiki User
∙ 10y agoThose are the so-called 'parallels' of constant latitude.

What is the imaginary line on the globe that goes from left to right?
Latitude lines are the ones which are parallel to each other, with 0º being the Equator Longitude are the ones which radiate out from the poles and which get wider as they approach the Equator. 0º runs through Greenwich, near London.
Do all meridians converge at the poles?
By definition, a line of longitude is an imaginary great circle on the surface of the earth passing through the north and south poles at right angles to the equator such that "all points on the same meridian have the same longitude".Therefore, all lines of longitude meet at a point at each of the poles.
Which imaginary line the equator or the prime merdian runs all the way around the earth?
No. These are called lines of longitude or meridians, one of which is the Prime Meridian running through Grenwich, England (and other places, of course), considered to be 0º longitude, thereby marking the beginning point for all other lines of longitude.The equator, on the other hand, is an imaginary line circumnavigating (running around) the globe at a point halfway between the two poles - in other words, it is crossed by the meridians at right angles.The equator, therefore is a line of latitude from which the degrees north and south of all other lines of latitude are measured. The equator is 0º latitude.
Is London below the equator?
No sir it is not. The equator is the imaginary line that goes horizontally (left to right) around the Earth. London is a city in Europe, all of Europe is above the equator.
What direction are meridians?
Every meridian is an imaginary semi-circle between the north and south poles. There are an infinite number of them, each one is more than 12,000 miles long, and every point on the same meridian has the same longitude.
One of the imaginary lines joining north and south poles at right angles to the equator?
"Meridian of longitude"

What are the imaginary lines at right angles to a surface called?
normal lines or normals
What is the latitudes lines?
Lines of latitude are any of the circles, called parallels, that are to the north or to the south of the equator and parallel to it. They are the lines on standard maps that go from east to west; right-left.It is an imaginary line around the Earth parallel to the equator.
What is the imaginary line that helps us visualise a electric or magnetic field called?
They are force field lines at right angles to each other as depicted in the related link.
What are lines that meat at right angles?
Perpendicular lines meet at right angles
What intersecting lines make right angles?
All of them. If its truly intersecting lines, they have to form right angles. All of them. If its truly intersecting lines, they have to form right angles.
Do the longitude lines meet at the north and south pole?
By definition, a line of longitude is an imaginary great circle on the surface of the earth passing through the north and south poles at right angles to the equator such that "all points on the same meridian have the same longitude".Therefore, all lines of longitude meet at a point at each of the poles.
What lines are intersecting lines that form right angles when they intersect?
Perpendicular lines form right angles when they intersect.
What has two lines that form a right angles?
two lines that are perpendicular form right angles
What are lines that intersect right angles called?
Lines that intersect right angles (ninety-degree angles) are described as perpendicular.
What kind of lines intersect to form right angles?
Perpendicular lines form right angles at their intersections.
