Do all parallels meet at the equator?
No. Parallel lines never cross.
Are all parallels and meridians meet at angles other than 90 degrees?
yes
Lines of longitude called what?
Meridians of longitude; parallels of latitude. Remember that meridians are all the same length (20,000 km) and that they meet at the poles. Parallels are, well, parallel, and are different lengths, the longest being the Equator.
Can meridians of longitude to be parallel?
No. One characteristic of parallels is that they never meet or intersect.But all of the meridians of longitude meet at both the north pole andthe south pole.
Lines of longitude are not called parallels because?
Lines of longitude converge at the poles, while lines of latitude (parallels) run parallel to each other. Longitude lines run from pole to pole and meet at the poles, converging as they approach. This is why they are not called parallels.
Another name for line of latitude?
parallels is the name
How many parallels are there?
there are 181 parallels.
What are synonyms of latitude lines?
Flat, they run straight across, horizontal!Those words came to my mind!============================Only if you hold your map with north either up or down.Regardless of how you hold your map, lines of latitude are parallelto each other, and are often called 'parallels' of latitude.
Why are Lines of latitude are sometimes called parallels because they never?
Lines of latitude are called parallels because they run parallel to the equator and never intersect each other. They are always equidistant apart and are used to measure distance from the equator in degrees north or south.
When was Disjointed Parallels created?
Disjointed Parallels was created in 1995.
Where can someone buy Parallels for a Mac computer?
The best place to buy Parallels for a Mac computer would be on the Parallels website. Another trusted place online to buy Parallels would be on Amazon.
Does Parallels come with Windows?
No. You will need to purchase a copy to use in Parallels.
