No. All meridians of longitude converge (meet, come together) at the north pole and
at the south pole. If there's any other place where they're not all together, then they
can't be parallel. Everywhere else except at the poles, they spread all the way around
the Earth. So they're not parallel.

Lines of latitude and lines of longitude are perpendicular to?
Every meridian of longitude is perpendicular to every parallel of latitude, and every parallel of latitude is perpendicular to every meridian of longitude.
Lines of longitude are not parallel why?
because they merge at the poles... they seem to be parallel near the equtor region..n remenber parallel lines nver meet each other... n due to the shape of our earth these lines merge at poles...
What is another name for parallel lines?
latitude lines is another name for parallels and longitude lines are called meridians
Does each line of longitude parallel to another line of longitude?
Yes No, lines of longitude are as parallel to each other as the earth is flat. All longitudes intersect at the north and south poles.
Why are latitude lines considered paralles and longitude lines are not?
Just like parallel lines on a flat surface, no two parallels of latitude ever meet.Just like non-parallel lines on a flat surface, any two meridians of longitude do meet.In fact, ALL meridians of longitude meet, at both the north and the south poles.
