Yes. That's a big part of the reason why the lines are often called "parallels".
Lines of latitude.
Lines of latitude are horizontal and run parallel to the poles
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.
True. Latitude lines, which measure the distance north or south of the equator, are parallel to each other. They run horizontally around the Earth and remain equidistant from one another, forming circles that decrease in size as they approach the poles.
Lines of latitude, also known as parallels, are imaginary horizontal lines that run around the Earth parallel to the equator. They measure the distance north or south of the equator in degrees, ranging from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles. Latitude lines help in identifying specific locations on the globe and play a crucial role in navigation and mapping. Notable lines of latitude include the Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, and the Arctic and Antarctic Circles.
Lines that run parallel to the equator are called latitude lines or parallels.
Lines of latitude run parallel to the Equator (which is zero latitude).
Lines of latitude circle the earth, parallel to the equator.
Lines of Latitude encircle the Earth, running parallel to the Equator.
Lines of latitude.
Lines of latitude are parallel to the equator, and that includes the Arctic and Antarctic Circles. The Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn are also parallel to the equator.See the link below
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.
Latitude lines run parallel to the equator.
Lines of Latitude run horizontally round the World and parallel to the Equator.
Latitude lines run from east to west, parallel to the equator. Longitudinal lines are perpendicular to latitude lines and run north to south.
The imaginary parallel lines numbered in degrees around the north and south of the equator are called lines of latitude. The lines of latitude run east-west and are measured in degrees from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles. They help in determining the location of a place on Earth's surface.
They are parallel to the earth's equator. So if you consider the equator as being horizontal then they are horizontal.
