Why are the equator and all lines of longitude called great circles?
The equator and all lines of longitude are called great circles because the represent the circumference of the earth. The other latitude lines along the globe are smaller then the actually circumference.
Why the lines of latitudes decrease in size towards the poles?
Lines of latitude, or parallels, are imaginary circles that run parallel to the equator. As you move from the equator towards the poles, these circles decrease in circumference due to the Earth's spherical shape. At the equator, the latitude is 0 degrees and the circumference is largest, while at the poles, the lines converge to a single point at 90 degrees north and south, resulting in their diminishing size. This geometric property is a direct consequence of the Earth's curvature.
What is the answer to circles and circumference?

Then they are similar.
How is pi used to find circumference of circles?
Pi times the diameter of a circle gives its circumference.
