What are parallels on a map?
Parallels are lines that run the same direction and are the always the same distance apart. On a map (and the Earth) the lines of latitude (measurement North and South of the equator) are parallel.
Latitude lines are also called?
Lines of latitude are called 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.
Lines that are always the same distance apart?
They are parallel lines
What two lines that lie in the same plane and are always the same distance apart?
parallel lines
Are lines that never cross and stay the same distance apart?
They are parallel lines
Which lines-latitude or longitude-are always the same distance from each other no matter where they are on the planet?
Lines of latitude are always the same distance from each other, as they run parallel to the equator. Each degree of latitude is approximately 69 miles apart. Lines of longitude converge at the poles and are farthest apart at the equator.
What globe lines that are always the same distance apart?
"Parallels" of latitude. Those are the lines that are drawn horizontal on the globe or map.
What is parallel to lines of latitude?
No two lines of constant latitude ever touch or cross each other. They are the same distance apart everywhere. That's why they're often referred to as "parallels" of latitude.
What are parallels on a map?
Parallels are lines that run the same direction and are the always the same distance apart. On a map (and the Earth) the lines of latitude (measurement North and South of the equator) are parallel.
Which lines are always the same distance apart?
Parallel lines are the same distance apart for all points along the line.
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 sides the same distance apart?
Two parallel lines are sides the same distance apart.
Latitude lines are also called?
Lines of latitude are called 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.
Lines that are always the same distance apart?
They are parallel lines
What lines that are the same distance apart and never intersect?
Parallel lines
Are lines of latitude always parallel?
Yes. Any two lines of latitude are the same distance apart everywhere, and they never meet or cross. This is a big part of the reason that they're often called "parallels" of latitude.
Why are latitude lines called parallel lines?
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.
