Yes. Horizontal lines of latitude that run across the globe are known as parallels or latitude.
Parallels circle the globe. Meridians join the north and south poles.
that would be the tropic of Capricorn and the tropic of cancer. it seperates the hemispheres
No, they run all across the globe.
Lines of longitude.

Most maps will show latitude and longitude lines, if not, they're ALWAYS on a globe.
Latitudinal lines run East West along the earth's surface. An easy trick to remember is thinking "lat is flat" therefore the lines are flat when you are looking at a globe or 2D map.Latitude lines can also be called "PARALLELS"
-- 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.

i believe a meridian are the imaginary lines going around the globe, for example, the Equator. Parallels are the imaginary lines going around the globe from the north to the south poles
Each of those is a locus of constant latitude.
Latitude lines are the imaginary lines on a globe that are horizontal.
Lines of longitude.

Parallel refers to the longitude where you live. Longitudes are the imaginary lines ruled around the globe by map makers starting at the equator, zero longitude, to 90 degrees at the poles. The 60th parallel refers to 60 degrees from the equator and passes through Europe and all points on that level around the globe.

The imaginary lines on the globe helps because it divides the Northern Hemisphere from Southern Hemisphere. Therefore, imaginary lines are helpful.
