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.


What are the lines that run parallel to the equator called?

Every line of constant latitude is parallel to the equator and to all other such lines. This might be part of the reason that such lines are often referred to as "parallels" of latitude. Or that might be just a coincidence.


Do lines of latitude run parallel with the equator?

Yes. That's a big part of the reason why the lines are often called "parallels".

What lines run parallel through the equator?

The only line that runs parallel through the equator is THE EQUATOR. [The Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn are parallel to the equator, but are north and south of it (respectively) at 23.5 degrees. So they do not run through the equator.] The lines of longitude all run through the equator, but they are not parallel to each other since they all meet up at both the North and South Poles.
