The only line that runs parallel through the equator is THE EQUATOR.
[The Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn are parallel to the equator, but are north and south of it (respectively) at 23.5 degrees. So they do not run through the equator.]
The lines of longitude all run through the equator, but they are not parallel to each other since they all meet up at both the North and South Poles.

What are the circular lines that run parallel to the equator?
Lines of latitude.
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".
What are lines that are parallel and run?
parallel lines. they run side by side but never intersect
Which lines run horzonally parallel to each other?
parallel lines.....
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.
What are lines that run parallel from the equator called?
There are no parallel lines that run FROM the equator. Lines that are parallel TO the equator are the latitudes.
Lines that run parallel to the equator are called?
Lines that run parallel to the equator are called latitude lines or parallels.
Do the longitudinal lines run parallel to the Equator?
No, the longitudinal lines run perpendicular to the Equator, from the North Pole to the South Pole. They converge at the poles and are farthest apart at the Equator.
What Lines of run parallel to the equator?
Lines of Latitude encircle the Earth, running parallel to the Equator.
What are the circular lines that run parallel to the equator?
Lines of latitude.
Is Lines of latitude is parallel?
Lines of latitude run parallel to the Equator (which is zero latitude).
What line run parallel to the equator?
Lines of latitude are parallel to the equator, and that includes the Arctic and Antarctic Circles. The Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn are also parallel to the equator.See the link below
How do lines of latitude run in relation to the equator?
Lines of latitude circle the earth, parallel to the equator.
How Distinguish between latitudes and longitudes?
Lines of latitude run parallel to the equator. Lines of longitude run vertically - passing through both poles.
Lines running parallel to the equator are called?
You have answered the question for yourself ; They are 'Latitudes''. Longitudes (Meridians) are lines that run North to South from the North Pole to the South Pole. Longitudes come to a point at the poles, but spread out to a maximum at the Equator.
Lines of latitude are horizontal or vertical?
Lines of latitude are horizontal lines that run parallel to the equator. They measure the distance north or south of the equator in degrees.
Is latitude up or down?
Latitude lines run parallel to the equator.
