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.
What is another name for parallel lines?
latitude lines is another name for parallels and longitude lines are called meridians
Why aren't all parallels equal in length like meridians are?
There's a simple answer: The earth is a sphere and the parallels are, well, parallel to each other. So obviously the ones closer to the poles are shorter than the ones closest to the Ecuator. As for the meridians all meet at one point ehich are the poles, so they are all the same length.
