Why aren't all parallels equal in length like meridians are?
There's a simple answer: The earth is a sphere and the parallels are, well, parallel to each other. So obviously the ones closer to the poles are shorter than the ones closest to the Ecuator. As for the meridians all meet at one point ehich are the poles, so they are all the same length.
What is the angle of intersection of all parallels and meridians on the earth?
90 degrees
What distinguishes the northern parallels from the southern parallels?
an arrow pointing to the east
What two parallels of Latitude is Italy situated?

Is square a parallelogram with all sides equal?
Not unless all angles are also equal. A rhombus is a parallelogram with all sides equal. A rectangle is a parallelogram with all angles equal. A square is a rhombus with all angles equal which is a parallelogram with all sides equal and all angles equal.
Do side parallels have to be equal?
Not in length but equal distance from each other

What are Imaginary lines which run at right angles to the equator?
They are lines of constant latitude, all parallel to the equator.
What are parallels are called as?
Parallels are referred to as lines that never intersect and maintain the same distance apart from each other at all points. They represent a relationship of uniformity and constant separation.
Another name for line of latitude?
parallels is the name
What parallels lies in between the tropic of cancer and the tropic of capicorn?
All parallels of every latitude 23.5 degrees or less, both north and south.
How many parallels are there?
there are 181 parallels.
Differences between parallels and meridians?
Parallels are lines of latitude that run parallel to the equator, while meridians are lines of longitude that run from the North Pole to the South Pole. Parallels measure distance north or south of the equator, while meridians measure distance east or west of the Prime Meridian. Together, parallels and meridians form a grid system used to locate points on the Earth's surface.
Do all parallels meet at the equator?
No. Parallel lines never cross.
What are all the cities shown between the 35th and 40th parallels?
Elba
What is the angle of intersection of all parallels and meridians on the earth?
90 degrees
Is the equator parallel to the meridian?
Nothing is parallel to any meridian. The equator is a parallel of latitude, and is parallel to all the other parallels. This is a big part of the reason that, collectively, they are called 'parallels'.
