What are two lines called running east and west around earth?

Are you referring to lines of latitude? First, there are no actual "lines" on the surface of the Earth; the lines are virtual, in that they don't really exist. Second, we can create as many different lines of latitude as we want. We usually measure them in segments called "minutes" of latitude, but we can subdivide these as finely as we like. From the equator, there are 90 degrees north and 90 degrees south; each degree is subdivided into 60 minutes. On a globe, the lines of latitude are generally printed each 10 or 15 degrees, but that depends on the scale of the globe.


Why are the lines of latitude also called pararel?

Because no two of them ever touch or cross each other, and any two of them are always the same distance apart everywhere around the globe ... much like parallel lines on a flat surface.

What do the lines on a globe do?

Some maps and globes have 'lines' printed on them, and some don't. If there are lines on the globe, they're a convenience to help you estimate the location of a place you might want to find again later, by giving you a scale of numbers to measure the spot against. They're 'scales' for measuring, just like the marks on a ruler. But instead of making you use a ruler and try to wrap it around the globe, they print the rulers right on the globe for you.
