Parallel: 0o latitude
A Parallel of Latitude
A "parallel" is a line comprised of all the points on Earth with the same latitude ... the angle measured north or south of the equator. Each parallel is a full circle, that crosses all meridians. A "meridian" is a line comprised of all the points on Earth with the same longitude ... the angle measured east or west from the Prime Meridian. Each meridian is a half- circle, that crosses all parallels.
the equater
Every meridian of longitude is perpendicular to every parallel of latitude, and every parallel of latitude is perpendicular to every meridian of longitude.
Yes, two lines that lie in parallel to the same line are always parallel to each other. This is based on the Transitive Property of Parallel Lines, which states that if line A is parallel to line B, and line B is parallel to line C, then line A is parallel to line C. Thus, if two lines are both parallel to a third line, they must be parallel to each other.
A Parallel of Latitude
Is the prime meridian (: . I think
The equator is a parallel because it is a line of latitude that circles the Earth horizontally, dividing it into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
meridian line of longitude 180 degress middle of the pacific ocean.
The equator is a parallel, not a meridian. It is a line of latitude that circles the Earth halfway between the North and South Poles. Meridians, on the other hand, are lines of longitude that run from the North Pole to the South Pole.
There are no geographic lines that are parallel to the Prime Meridian. Technically, every meridian of longitude is parallel to every other meridian of longitude, but only over an infinitesimal distance north or south of the equator. I'm quite sure that's not what you're looking for.
no the equater does
All 'lines' of latitude are parallel to all others.No meridian of longitude is parallel to any others.-- All 'lines' of latitude are parallel to all others.-- No meridian of longitude is parallel to any other one.
The equator, at latitude zero.
Parallel of latitude, as is the Tropic of Cancer and the Equator Meridians of longitude run north-south, like the IDL or Greenwich Meridian
equater i think
It is not. it is horizontal along with the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.
