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.

Parallels are used to measure longitude or latitude?
latitude longitudes are known as meridians
Do all of the parallels and meridians cross each at right angles?
Yes, all parallels (lines of latitude) and meridians (lines of longitude) intersect at right angles. Parallels run east-west and are parallel to the equator, while meridians run north-south and converge at the poles. This right-angle intersection helps create a grid system for navigation and mapping on the Earth's surface.
Can meridians of longitude to be parallel?
No. One characteristic of parallels is that they never meet or intersect.But all of the meridians of longitude meet at both the north pole andthe south pole.
Lines of longitude called what?
Meridians of longitude; parallels of latitude. Remember that meridians are all the same length (20,000 km) and that they meet at the poles. Parallels are, well, parallel, and are different lengths, the longest being the Equator.

What are meridians of longitudes and parallels of latitudes?
Name the two meridians east of the meridian on this map.
Differences between parallels and meridians?
-- Parallels are associated with latitudes. Meridians are associated with longitudes. -- Parallels are parallel, and no tweo parallels intersect. All meridians intersect all other meridians, at two places. -- Every point on a parallel has the same latitude. Every point on a meridian has the same longitude. -- Every parallel in the same hemisphere has a different length. Every meridian on Earth has the same length. -- Every parallel is a full circle. Every meridian is a semi-circle. -- Every parallel crosses all longitudes. Every meridian crosses all latitudes. -- The distance between two parallels is the same at every longitude. The distance between two meridians depends on the latitude where it's measured. -- To cross all parallels, you only have to travel 12,000 miles. To cross all meridians, you have to travel 24,000 miles.
What are the major differences between parallels and meridians?
Parallels are lines of latitude that run east-west around the globe, while meridians are lines of longitude that run north-south. Parallels are always equidistant from each other, while meridians converge at the poles. Parallels help locate positions north or south of the equator, while meridians help locate positions east or west of the Prime Meridian.
What is the shape of parallels and meridians?

What is the difference between parallels and meridians?
Parallels, as the name inplies, run parallel to each other in an east-west orientation. Meridians run through both poles, and so cannot be parallel.
What is the angle of intersection of all parallels and meridians on the earth?
90 degrees
What is another name lines of latitude and longitude?
Parallels and meridians, respectively.
