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.
