What are lines of latitutde?
Latitude lines are imaginary lines that are parallel to the equator to fix a position on earth (along with longitude lines which are imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator)

What are the imaginary lines called that circle the earth?
The equator and the lines of longitude.
What are the imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator called?
Longitudinal or longitude lines are the imaginary lines that are perpendicular to the equator. Latitudinal or latitude lines are parallel to the equator.

normal lines or normals
Imaginary lines which circle the earth from east to west are lines of which are also called?
They are called Lines of Latitude or parallels.
Why longitude lines are also called median?
meridians are imaginary lines that are not parallel to each other.
What are the imaginary lines which divide the Earth into areas of 15 o called?
latitude lines I think
What is the imaginairy line around the earth called?
the equator ========= There are many imaginary lines around the Earth. In fact, there are an infinite number of imaginary lines. The two main types of imaginary lines are parallels of latitude (of which the Equator is one) and meridians of longitude.
