A pair of compasses are use to construct circles and arcs of circles
No, circles do not have angles.
That circles have no sides
Concentric circles.
Ellipses are not circles.
Circles of latitude are also know as parallels.
Yes.
"Parallels" or "Circles of Latitude".
Parallels are imaginary circles around the globe that measure latitude, which is the distance north or south of the equator. They help in locating positions on the Earth's surface and are often used as reference points in navigation and mapping.
Linesof latitude are also known as circles of latitude or parallels.
You're thinking of 'parallels of constant latitude'.
All parallels of latitude, except for the Equator, are not great circles. Great circles are the largest circles that can be drawn on a sphere and pass through its center, whereas small circles do not pass through the center of the sphere.
If two circles are drawn using the same centre, the two lines of the circles are parallel as they don't meet each other.Two straight lines (think of railway tracks) are drawn next to each other, but never meet, they are parallel lines.
-- Since you're asking for "parallels", we know that the discussion concerns latitude.-- The total extent of latitude on the Earth is 180 degrees.-- The north and south poles are degenerate "parallels", i.e. circles with zero radiusat 90 degrees north and south latitude.-- If we draw in all the rest of the parallels between the poles at intervals of5 degrees, we'll need to draw 35 of them.
The most important line of latitude is the Equator. Other important parallels are the Arctic and Antarctic Circles and the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn.

Parallels and meridians. Circles parallel to the Equator (lines running east and west) are parallels of latitude. They are used to measure degrees of latitude north or south of the Equator. Meridians of longitude are drawn from the North Pole to the South Pole and are at right angles to the Equator.
