All lines of latitude are parallel to the Equator, so they are sometimes also referred to as parallels. =)
Because just like parallel lines on a flat surface, any two of them
are always the same distance apart and never cross each other.

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 is the name for all the vertical and horizontal lines found on a globe?
They are lines of longitude and latitude, often just longitudes and latitudes.
What is the relationship between the pair of lines below I I I I I I I I I I I I?
I don't see a pair of lines below this. Often the answer being looked for in similar questions is "parallel."
What is the relationship between the pair of lines below?
I don't see any lines below this. Often the answer being looked for in similar questions is "parallel."
Does a identity have an equal sign?
It should have a three horizontal parallel lines but often the ordinary equality symbol "=" is used.
Is the latitude lines all parallel to the equator?
Yes. All lines of constant latitude is parallel to the equator and to each other. This is a big part of the reason that they're often called "parallels" of latitude.
Which lines are parallel to each other latitude or longitude?
Every line of constant latitude is parallel to all others. That's why they're often called "parallels" of latitude.
What are the lines called that are parallel to the equator?
Every line of constant latitude is parallel to the equator and to all other such lines. This might be part of the reason that such lines are often referred to as "parallels" of latitude. Or that might be just a coincidence.
What are the lines that are parallel to the equator called?
Every line of constant latitude is parallel to the equator and to all other such lines. This might be part of the reason that such lines are often referred to as "parallels" of latitude. Or that might be just a coincidence.
What are the lines of latitude called?
Lines of latitude are imaginary lines that run parallel to the equator and form part of a grid used to describe where on the earth you are. They are often called parallels.
Another name for lines of latitude is what?
That line has often been called the "Equator" in song and story, and on maps as well, too.
What are the lines that run parallel to the equator called?
Every line of constant latitude is parallel to the equator and to all other such lines. This might be part of the reason that such lines are often referred to as "parallels" of latitude. Or that might be just a coincidence.
What do you call latitude lines?
Lines of latitude are often called parallels. They are referred to that because they are always parallel of one another never intersecting at any point.
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".
Are lines of latitude always parallel?
Yes. Any two lines of latitude are the same distance apart everywhere, and they never meet or cross. This is a big part of the reason that they're often called "parallels" of 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
Why are lines of latitudes called paralles?
Yes. Latitude lines are often referred to as "lines of parallel" because they represent planes through the Earth. Their points on the Earth's surface are defined by the same angle : the angle between a line from Earth's center (to each point) and a line to the corresponding point on the equator. Note that this means the distance between degrees of latitude is constant (approx. 69 miles or 111 km), while longitudinal lines get closer together as you move poleward.
