Lines that run parallel to the equator are called latitude lines or parallels.
The lines parallel to the equator are called lines of latitude.
Latitude.
On the globe they are called lines of LATITUDE and are parallel to the equator.
Lines of latitude run parallel to the Equator (which is zero latitude).
Lines of latitude are also called parallels because they are all parallel to each other. Any two lines of latitude you choose are the same distance apart everywhere, and no two lines of latitude ever cross. Latitude 36 degrees north is called the 36th parallel north
You have answered the question for yourself ; They are 'Latitudes''. Longitudes (Meridians) are lines that run North to South from the North Pole to the South Pole. Longitudes come to a point at the poles, but spread out to a maximum at the Equator.
lines of latitude
Yes. All lines of constant latitude is parallel to the equator and to each other. This is a big part of the reason that they're often called "parallels" of latitude.
Earth's parallels are called lines of latitude. They are imaginary lines that run parallel to the equator and are used to measure the distance north or south of the equator in degrees.
Lines of latitude are imaginary lines that run parallel to the equator and form part of a grid used to describe where on the earth you are. They are often called parallels.
Lines of latitude are horizontal and run parallel to the poles
