All lines of latitude are parallel to the Equator, so they are sometimes also referred to as parallels. =)
Because just like parallel lines on a flat surface, any two of them
are always the same distance apart and never cross each other.
What else can I help you with?
Lines that run parallel to the equator are called?
Lines that run parallel to the equator are called latitude lines or parallels.
What are the lines parallel to the equater called?
The lines parallel to the equator are called lines of latitude.
Are the parallel lines on a globe called longitude or latitude lines?
Latitude.
The horizontal lines are called the lines of what?
On the globe they are called lines of LATITUDE and are parallel to the equator.
Is Lines of latitude is parallel?
Lines of latitude run parallel to the Equator (which is zero latitude).
What else are latitude lines called?
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
What are the circle line parallel to the equator called?
lines of latitude
Lines running parallel to the equator are called?
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.
Is the latitude lines all parallel to the equator?
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.
What are earth's parallels called?
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.
Are lines of latitude perpendicular parallel or intersecting?
Lines of latitude are horizontal and run parallel to the poles
What lines are parallel to the equator?
lines of latitude
