If you mean a 'parallel' of latitude on the earth, then it is a circle that proceeds east and west from any point on it. There can be any desired number of them, the only specification being that every point on the 'parallel' has the same geographic latitude. Since these are all curved lines, it's hard to say that they are parallel in the same sense as parallel straight lines on a flat surface. But the planes they lie in are all truly parallel planes.

Can two parallel lines ever become perpendicular?
No, because parallel lines will always go the same directions and never make a right angle.
What are the five line directions?
perpendicular,parallel,horizontal,vertical,intersecting
What is the definition to paralles?
Two (or more) lines are parallel if they are pointing in the same (or exactly opposite) directions.
What is the math definition of parallel lines?
2 straight lines going on forever in 2 directions ''ll''
What is non parallel?
As for example perpendicular lines are non parallel lines.
Are perpendicular and parallel lines different?
They go in different directions.
Does a right angled triangle have parallel lines?
No. Parallel lines are lines that extend in the same direction. In a triangle the lines go in different directions.
What is meant by like and unlike parallel forces?
Like Parallel forces are the forces that are parallel to each other and have same direction. Unlike parallel forces are the forces that are parallel but have directions opposite to each other.
Can two parallel lines ever become perpendicular?
No, because parallel lines will always go the same directions and never make a right angle.
What direction does a vertical line go?
It extends in both directions (up and down) such that it is parallel to the y-axis.
If two wires run parallel and the current passes through both wires in the same direction?
they attract if they go opposite directions they repel
What is it called when DNA runs in opposite directions?
anti parallel
What directions are latitude lines used?
Lines parallel to the equator.
Can two planes that do not intersect be parallel?
No. By definition, planes can be extended in all directions to infinity. If they are not parallel, they will intersect somewhere.
What does it mean when light is scattered?
It means that even if, before striking an object, light rays move parallel, after striking the object they will go into different directions.
What is the name for an electrical current that flows in two directions?
parallel circuit
What are the five line directions?
perpendicular,parallel,horizontal,vertical,intersecting
