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...

∙ 11y agoEach line of longitude begins at one pole (along with all other lines of longitude) and ends at the other pole (along with all other lines). Since the all lines of longitude meet at the poles, they cannot be parallel; by definition, parallel lines never meet.

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.
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.
What are lines of latitutde?
Latitude lines are imaginary lines that are parallel to the equator to fix a position on earth (along with longitude lines which are imaginary lines perpendicular to the equator)
Why are the lines of longitude not parallel?
Parallel lines, by definition, cannot meet. The lines of longitude meet at the Poles.
These are vertical lines parallel to the prime meridian?
Vertical lines parallel to the prime meridian are lines of longitude.
Lines are and run north-south?
Longitude; not parallel
Which one line is parallel latitude or longitude?
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.
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.
What lines are parallel to the equator?
lines of latitude
Are lines of longitude parallel to the equator?
No, perpendicular.
Are latitude lines parallel or perpendicular?
Parallel. Latitude and longitude are perpendicular.
Are longitudes and latitudes parallels lines?
Latitude lines are parallel but not longitude lines.
What is a imaginary north south lines parallel to the prime meridian that circles the globe vertically?
Lines of longitude.
Are the parallel lines on a globe called longitude or latitude lines?
Latitude.
Why isn't lines of longitude parallel?
Because The lines of Longitude cross over each other at the top of the world which makes them not parallel. Parallel: Lines that never cross or meet And always stay the same distance apart.
