What is a another name for latitude lines?

They are sometimes called parallels. They are parallel to the equator, zero degrees latitude, and parallel to each other. They are all circles, except for the poles which are points.A parallel is another name for a line of latitude because all lines of latitude are parallel to each other.Graticule .parallels


What is the another name for a parrallels of longitude?

There are no parallels of longitude, because longitudinal lines aren't parallel. We call them "meridians". Lines of latitude ARE parallel, and so the expression "45th parallel" would be an accurate description.


What is the name of a set of parallel lines?

There isn't a name...they're just called a pair of parallel lines.


Why is there only one kind of parallel lines?

parallel lines are any lines that will never touch. on a 3D plane, there will be many lines that won't intersect another. but parallel lines have a specific definition that there is no way to subcatigorize it


How do you label parallel lines?

To indicate that a pair of lines are parallel you mark them both with an arrow. If there is another pair of parallel lines on the same shape you mark those with a double arrow.


If one of two parallel lines is perpendicular to another line is the other of the two lines parallel to the third line?

since one parallel lines is perpendicular to another line, the other parallel line is perpendicular to the line as well. so the two would not be parallel, only the original two.


What is the name of two lines that do not intersect not are parallel?

Skew lines


What is the name when 2 lines never touch?

the lines are parallel.


What are lines that cross one another forming a pattern called a grid system?

parallel lines


Do parallel lines meet at 30 degress?

No because parallel lines never meet at all and they remain equal distance apart from one another.


How many ways can you prove that two lines are parallel?

Two lines are parallel if they never cross one another. Another way to tell if they are parallel is if they have the same slope. Also, if the same line intersects both of them at a 90 degree angle, they would be parallel (in other words, if both lines are perpendicular to a common line, they are paraellel).


Can perpendicular lines be parallel lines?

It is impossible for parallel lines to be perpendicular. Perpendicular lines are intersecting lines, meaning that they cross each other. Parallel lines, on the other hand, are lines that never meet, no matter how far they are extended in either direction. So intersecting lines (which includes perpendicular lines) and parallel lines are exact opposites. Parallel lines will never meet or cross; they cannot be perpendicular.
