What are two names for the lines that run east to west on a globe?

They are the lines of latitude, and they are also called parallels.


Parts of the globe?

There are two different types of lines: lines of latitude and lines of longitude (also called meridians). The lines of latitude go around the globe horizontally. The center line is the Equator. Lines of longitude go around the globe vertically. The center one is called the Prime Meridian. These different lines together form a grid on a globe that's used to find locations of Earth's surface. The Equator and the Prime Meridian also divide the Earth into Northern, Southern, Eastern, and Western hemispheres.


What two lines on the globe are below the center?

Tropic of Capricorn and Antarctic Circle


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.


Does parallels mean the measurement of longitude and latitude?

If you select any two random values of latitude, and put a dot on the globe at every point on Earth that has one of those latitudes, you'll wind up with two lines that go all the way around the globe. The two lines will be parallel to each other ... they'll be the same distance apart everywhere, and they won't touch or cross anywhere. Such lines are called 'parallels of constant latitude'.


What are two coplanar lines that never intersect called?

What is the name of the two sets of imaginary lines on the globe?

-- Most of the imaginary lines on the surface are parallels of latitude, meridians of longitude, political boundaries, and shipping routes. -- The imaginary lines through the center of the globe are the axis and diameters.


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.


Is there any magnetism observed in the space between two magnetic lines of force?

Yes, just as sure as there are measurements between two lines on a ruler, and latitudes between two parallels on a globe.
