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.
Do lines of latitude run parallel with the equator?
Yes. That's a big part of the reason why the lines are often called "parallels".
Another name for the lines of latitude?
The other name that is used for lines latitude is parallels. The main latitude is the equator which is at zero degrees.
What are parallels?
Parallel chords are A sequence of chords consisting of intervals that do not change as the chord moves. For example the chord of C (C,E,G) would be parallel to a following chord ofF (F,A,C)
What distinguishes the northern parallels from the southern parallels?
an arrow pointing to the east
Which direction do parallels run?
Parallels run east-west on the globe, parallel to the equator. They are lines of latitude that measure the distance north or south of the equator.
Which direction do parallels run on a map?
Parallels run east-west on a map. They are lines of latitude that are parallel to the equator.
Which parallels are not circles?
a cylinder
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.
Is the equator a parallelor meridian?
It's actually parallel to the parallels, since the parallels are by definition parallel to the equator.
Is the equator a parallels or a Meridian?
The equator is the parallel of zero latitude.
Is the equator parallels or a meridian?
The equator is the parallel of zero latitude.
Parallels are lines of?
Yes they are. They are parallel to the equator.
Lines of latitude are also called what?
Parallels and meridians. Circles parallel to the Equator (lines running east and west) are parallels of latitude. They are used to measure degrees of latitude north or south of the Equator. Meridians of longitude are drawn from the North Pole to the South Pole and are at right angles to the Equator.
What is the east west lines on a map that show distance from the equator?
The lines on a map that show distance from the equator in an east-west direction are called latitude lines. They are also known as parallels and run parallel to the equator. The equator itself is located at 0 degrees latitude.
What is another name for latitude?
Another name for latitude is "parallels." Lines of latitude run horizontally around the Earth and measure the distance north or south of the Equator in degrees.
What are Imaginary lines which run at right angles to the equator?
They are lines of constant latitude, all parallel to the equator.
